Anniversary Rituals

Anniversary Rituals

Although my partner and I are not sure what the exact date of our anniversary is, I recently decided to take a page from my own book and start to create a ritual of celebration for our partnership around a date. We marked one down on the calendar about a month ago and today is the day.

August 26th at least is a date I should be able to remember as it used to be my sister’s birthday. Another interesting comparison–seeing as she was given that date as her birth-date because no one really knew the exact date she was born either. Putting that all aside, it is amazing to stop and think that we have been together for 6 years!

MOB 105 – Liver PatĂ©

MOB 105 – Liver PatĂ©

Recipe here.

This episode was the first one that we filmed for Mouth of Babes and one of our favorite recipes. A big thanks to FoxFire Farms for supplying the rich and nourishing organic grass-fed lamb liver. I love their slogan, ‘meat you can trust.’ There is definitely a completely different energy cooking with meat that you know hasn’t been abused all its short life in a factory farm.

MOB 104 – Making Kombucha

MOB 104 – Making Kombucha

PLAY

In the latest addition of Mouth of Babes we learn how to make kombucha, the powerfully detoxing home-brew. It is a good idea to start drinking kombucha before you actually get pregnant. If you are planning to get pregnant, drink it for at least six months before conceiving to help clean your tissues and prepare your body for a good healthy pregnancy.

If you are just starting to drink kombucha during pregnancy, I think it is the best idea to only drink very small amounts (1/4 c or less) at a time as you may find that it is such a powerful detoxing agent that you get ‘die off’ or the herxhiemer reaction. If you do, just ease off for a few days.

HD 203 – Maple Rose Kefir

HD 203 – Maple Rose Kefir

PLAY

Maple syrup and rosewater add a new dimension to kefir, which is a very affordable, easy, practical and tasty method to ensure you get your daily dose of probiotics to keep your intestinal garden (and as a result your immune system and practically everything else including emotions) in prime condition. I recently have been reading a book about the Abkhasians who live in the Caucasus and easily live to be 120 or more. Most of them didn’t marry and have children until their 40s or even 50s! They had an all around healthy lifestyle, which included matzoni, which is also a fermented dairy product.

Lack of Health Insurance

Lack of Health Insurance

This week I was finally able to send in my application for Health Insurance in Canada. It has been 4 years since I had coverage, and during this period I was the unhealthiest that I have ever been (so typical eh?). In one of those synchronistic events a friend also sent me the link to the video To Your Health by Meena Nanji and Ofunne Obiamiwe. It is hard to fathom what it means on an individual level when we hear numbers like 47 million Americans do not have health insurance and half of all bankruptcies in the United States are caused by medical bills. Embarrassingly, the US also comes in very low on the scale of universal health coverage–ranked at 37th in the world. This video helps to make these facts personal.

MOB 102 – Pickled Pink

Bright colored full sense learning experience! Watching mung bean sprouts grow and then transforming them with the help of some friendly bacteria to create an edible and healthy side dish is fun for the whole family.

Mikko loved the pickled sprouts as an addition to rice and curry, after the initial shock of eating them straight from the bottle! What a trouper.

Now we all know why Amaia loves to swing, her mama took her on a tree swing flight out over the ocean 3 weeks before she was born and gave us all heart attacks.

MOB 101 – Bone Broth

MOB 101 – Bone Broth

PLAY

Ruthie and Mikko demonstrate a quick and easy method for making a nourishing bone broth which is a globally renowned foundation of nutritional and preventative medicine and eating for vitality.

Although beef bones are used here, the same method can be used for other bones. Chicken Broth is particularly well known as a powerful immune booster.

Music: www.mujaji.com Bones: www.deckfamilyfarm.com These bones provided us with the richest broth I have ever made. The difference between well loved pasture fed animals and factory farm ones is blindingly obvious to every sense.

HD 108 – Potato and Wild Herbs Salad

PLAY

Potato salad is extra tasty when the potatoes are homegrown. In fact, commercially grown potatoes are full of chemicals and best to avoid. It also feels wonderful to dig your fingers into the earth and pull out a potato. This is a malleable, open-source recipe, do as you will.

HD 105 – Maple Syrup

PLAY

Step back in time and experience the sweet goodness of maple syrup. In this old-fashioned sugar house, sap collected from surrounding maple trees is reduced to rich syrup in an wood-fired evaporator.

Location: Muthig Farm, Parksville, New York.

Maple syrup is an excellent alternative to cane sugar and provides trace minerals which are brought up from the earth by the tree’s roots.
