This evening after a
long busy day at the Chinese New Year festival and a super yummy dinner we headed down to the garden. Nathan and I sowed some seeds (beetroot, silverbeet, peas and cauliflower - the only available seeds from the *still* missing seed bag). While we were down there we rescued our poor apple tree and tamarillo tree from being dragged down with the convulvulus/bindweed. We then picked one of the yummy looking apples off our tree. We planted the tree at the end of winter - and I'm sure I've read somewhere that the first years fruit is meant to be picked off to allow the tree to grow - but somewhere along the way I forgot that so got to pick the apples. So yummy! And Nathan actually loved the idea of picking an apple and eating it as is (he usually requests that I cut and core the apples for eating).
GAPS day 7...
We left the house at 10am this morning, so needed to pack an entire days food (aside from buying a couple of drinks). This was the first time I've had to do this (and I thought packing for gluten free eating was challenging lol).
Breakfast: scrambled egg, dried banana and watermelon
Snack: apple slices with peanut butter
Lunch: banana pancakes, left over meat/vege patties, boiled egg, banana, pear, fruit juice.
Dinner: pan fried fish with fresh herbs and lemon juice, patties - pumpkin, silverbeet, onion, garlic, courgette. Avocado, tomato, broccoli for the kids and salad for me and Simon.
Snack: cashew nuts, watermelon, fresh squeezed orange with vitamin C and 3/4 tsp probiotic powder

Hi Nikki - it was really nice to see you at the Chinese New Year celebration - I hope you all enjoyed the rest of the day.
Apple slices with peanut butter - that's a cool idea. Will try that on mine.
Are you allowed chickpeas by the way?
Oh! That just reminded me that Deb and Ian say they like peanut butter with nasturtium leaves!
It was great to see you guys too!
Yeah, the kids love peanut butter and apple slices - no wonder I go through a jar of PB a week and a good dozen apples lol! Hmmm, nasturtium leaves...might need to give that a go.
