Recipe: Glazed Persimmon Cannelloniby Master Live Food Chef Kelly of Raw Gourmet La VieWe urge you to visit her wonderful website.Irish moss Paste Ingredients: 2 hefty handfuls of Irish moss Directions: Place the moss into a straining bowl. Take the bowl outside and completely rinse the sand and debris out of the moss. Do this several times until the moss is clean. Bring it back into the kitchen and place it in a large bowl. Cover the Irish moss with filtered water. Let sit for 1 hour. Drain it and repeat the procedure 2 more times. When the water runs clear, place it into a glass air tight container. Fill it with filtered water and place it into the refrigerator for 24 hours. Remove it from the refrigerator and place it into a strainer. Rinse it again with filtered water. The expanded moss should measure 4 cups. Place it into a Vitamix and add 1 cup of filtered water. Blend it until creamy smooth. Test it by hand to make sure there is no grittiness. Place it into a mason jar with a plastic lid and put it into the refrigerator. Take some masking tape and mark the date on the jar. It will last for 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Note: You will have Irish moss left over from this recipe. Use it in smoothies, cheeses, facials, or however you choose. I love it for all of its wonderful properties. Persimmon cream filling Ingredients: 1 cup fresh Thai Young coconut meat Directions: Soak the persimmons in 3 cups of filtered water for one hour. Drain and save the persimmon water. Place the drained persimmons, coconut meat, turmeric, lemon juice, salt, maple syrup, 3 Tbsp. of the persimmon water, and orange extract into a Vitamix. Blend until creamy smooth. Add the melted coconut butter to the Vitamix and blend it in. Add the coconut oil and blend it in using a tamper. Remove ½ cup from the Vitamix and set it aside for future use. Take the remaining mixture and place it into an airtight container in the refrigerator overnight. Coconut Persimmon Swirl Ingredients: ½ cup persimmon cream filling |

A Shower at Night Might Help You Sleep Better
As you may have read in previous articles, mitochondria are the energy generators in your cells. When they don’t work properly, your body’s ability to produce energy is impaired. This may affect not only your metabolism but also your immune system and how diseases are triggered and grow. The key to getting older mitochondria out and creating new ones is called mitochondrial biogenesis. This process is triggered through exposure to extreme temperatures, exercise and intermittent fasting, for example. Your sleep is also dependent on appropriate temperature regulation. As you sleep your body’s natural internal temperature drops to the lowest level, usually about four hours after falling asleep. You may take advantage of this function, improve your quality of sleep and your ability to fall asleep, by making a few adjustments in the evening. |
The Killing is Over and Spring Migration is On
Buffalo have all but vanished from the Gardiner Basin. Just a few small groups remain, poised to join the other survivors who are heading south to their calving grounds around Blacktail Plateau. Some buffalo will continue further, and come from other places, heading west into the Hebgen Basin and on to Horse Butte and surrounding lands here. Near West Yellowstone, a buffalo nation is coming! And thanks to last year’s enormous victory of gaining year-round habitat in a portion of this basin, our volunteers and local residents are able to celebrate this sacred arrival without the bitter edge that always came with the fear of hazing. This time, the buffalo can roam to Horse Butte and lands north without being threatened by horsemen, law enforcement officers, or helicopters. They can stand on the land they need to, have their babies in peace, and grow strong without being brutally chased by livestock agents for miles on tiny legs. The buffalo families coming to Horse Butte and other lands north of the Madison River now get to choose where they will roam and for how long. Despite these great victories, threats remain. |
