meyer lemons

nate's parents have a meyer lemon tree in their backyard. the lemons this tree produces are the best lemons, ever.
they're sweet & really juicy.
yesterday we were awakened by the postman [rang our doorbell].
i asked nate if he was expecting anything from his parents, he said "no, i don't think so"
we opened the box & it was full of meyer lemons!

one had a little nibble on it from our nephew :)
i've been making juices in the mornings for the last few weeks, so i instantly added one of them to our juice! it was de-licious! [it's red b/c i put a beet in it]
i'm really into juicing right now & eating raw foods. not only raw foods, but just adding a lot of them to our diet. fresh salads, wraps, juices & fruits. i've read a lot of things from raw foodist, that i don't fully agree with... a lot of them will encourage you to stop eating everything that is non raw/vegan and to only eat raw. i don't completely agree with that, i think you should simply add more fresh whole veggies into your diet, instead of focusing on eliminating foods.
idk! that's just what i'm doing.
i feel like the more fresh whole foods we will eat, the more we will want them.
mmm. kale, cabbage, green onion, avooocaaaddoo, garbanzo beans, a lil' shredded nori, topped with toasted sesame & pumpkin seeds. dressed with evoo & a touch of tamari sauce.

we spent yesterday at prospect park. (my new banner picture) tossin' the ol' foozball & frisbee around. we were much better at tossing the football, we decided the frisbee was super cheap & crappy & that's why we were both pretty bad at it. (right?!)

this picture really made me laugh, b/c i was silently mimicking the weathercasters (?) for nate's entertainment & only afterward did we notice that guy looking at me with disgust.




dark chocolate with toasted almonds & sea salt...who woulda thought, salt & chocolate could be so good together?

we ended the day with a trip to TJs, it's in a huge old bank, with high ceilings... just massive. 
lucky for us it wasn't packed (as it usually is) & there was barely a line. 

here's a short lil' clip i made.
nate made the pretty music that's in the background a little while ago, it's a song in progress...maybe it'll complete & you'll hear it one of these day in full.
