Green Smoothies and Geno-type Diet Exploration

I went to what is to me a fancy department store. The meat section was located on the second floor. The store was loaded down with ready-made delicatessen food and all kinds of preserve food. Then I made my way to a dark small organic food store. They sell mostly fresh food. I bought five turnips with leaves some of which were yellow, green chrysanthemum leaves that look very tender, and carrots that still have the dirt on them without the tops.   If the dirt is left on the outside vegetables keep longer. But you have to be careful because dirty up your refrigerator.  I also saw a single stalk of celery, but I had already bought nonorganic celery at the department store.

I am trying to keep my bowels moving. So I made a green smoothie when I got back. It was already dark so I didn't go into the garden to cut my wheatgrass. Instead, I use the hard stems of the chrysanthemum and the leaves of the celery to make a juice. I just cut them up, put in water so they are about half covered and pulverize them in the blender. Then I strain out the juice and throw away the pulp.

I use that juice to pulverize the other ingredients. I won't throw away any more pulp. I cut up three small organic apples, putting all the seeds from an organic squash, add fresh ginger, half a carrot and pulverize it. The mixture becomes very thick so preventing the blender from shorting takes skill. I had some water if necessary. Also the container can't be too full. That's another cause for shorting.

I looked up different ways to cook lamb. I didn't have the Western ingredients. Or at least most of them. So I thought of the Moslem people in China and looked up Chinese cooking of lamb. It was just our ordinary stir fry. I chopped up the leaves that were left from the celery, and the turnips. Since they spoiled easily I wanted to cook them as soon as possible. Especially the turnip of leaves were wilted and either I cook them today or threw them out. They turned out to be delicious. I only added garlic minced and salt. I'd usually think of celery leaves as inedible. But these were fine.

With this meal, I added fermented brown rice, fermented turnip with konbu (a very nutritious seaweed)   and Korean kimchi.   I make all of these foods ahead of time.

In the green smoothie I added   a fiber. This made it very solid like pudding. But it was not very sweet. I should've added some lemon. It will act as a preservative. I will add magnesium citrate powder as needed when I eat it. I store it in a large container for storing liquids. That way it fits in my refrigerator door.
