This salad is surprisingly flavorful with fragrant lemon, refreshing mint and crunchy red cabbage and almonds. The dates add a subtle sweetness. Red cabbage is a hardy leaf that doesn’t wilt like softer lettuces. This dish travels well to potlucks and picnics. Ingredients: 1 cup raw almonds, chopped 8 cups shredded red cabbage (about 1…
Breakfast: We ate our morning oats, strawberries, nuts, seeds and soy milk with kukitcha tea indoors, in the pool house, for a change. After a big, hot walk on the Los Gatos Creek Trail up to the reservoir and back, we went to Whole Foods and got ourselves a couple of green juices. I think…
Breakfast: We had another Groupon for Dharma’s Restaurant and we were ready for a big breakfast. So it was over the river and through the woods, or rather over the reservoir, through the woods, over the hills and twisting highway 17 south to route 1 to Dharma’s Restaurant we go – oh! We began as…

Breakfast: As I have mentioned, we are in California for a month, staying in the pool house at Gary’s brother’s home. We have a small kitchen but we are not cooking, except for boiling water for tea. We do make breakfast and a lot of salads but we are dining out more than we ever…

Everything is…
Breakfast: The special feature in this morning’s breakfast with rolled oats is mango. I love mango and yet, mango brings up many issues for me, some positive, some not so.
