Re: Day 7 (now day 9)
Sounds like you're having a grand ole time MC or not. This year has been pretty lame for me activity wise and progress is slow in my art business but I keep a positive attitude and just keep on keeping on and maintain a positive outlook.
It's tough having a social life when fasting. So much of our social interactions revolve around food. I always manage though. I don't go around advertising what I'm doing and most folks just ask me about the cleanse and many have gone on to do it themselves.
Yesterday I Googled "Cucumber Pineapple Gazpacho" and found the recipe below and it's got the same ingredients as the one they make at my local Whole Food. I'm gonna try and make it in the next coupla days.
4 cups chopped pineapple
4 cups peeled, chopped cucumber
3 tablespoons minced jalapeño
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions, mostly white part
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 cup fresh pineapple juice
1 to 2 teaspoons sea salt
1⁄2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
1⁄2 cup finely chopped raw macadamia nuts
In a blender, process 3 cups each of pineapple and cucumber, 2 tablespoons jalapeño, 2 tablespoons scallion, lime juice, pineapple juice, and salt at high speed until smooth. Taste and correct seasoning (because the sweetness of pineapples varies), and add jalapeño and salt to taste.
Add the remaining pineapple and cucumber, the cilantro, and 1 1⁄2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Pulse the blender quickly a few times—the gazpacho should remain chunky. (Depending on the size of the blender jar, this may have to be done in two batches.) Stir in the macadamia nuts. Divide the gazpacho among serving bowls, drizzle with remaining avocado oil, and sprinkle with remaining jalapeño and scallions.
