Having an extra day of the week has helped me in prioritizing and to catch up on a little R&R. I've also been spending more of my time planning out my daily meals and cooking them at home. If you've followed me long enough, you may already know that I'd tend to cook using fresh, simple ingredients as a form of catharsis. It is following this principle that brings about a form of salutary gratification while enjoying the challenge of finding recipes and trying them out or by making new ones by discovering new ingredients from mindful sources, rather than going out on the town for breakfast; lunch; or dinner.
Here was lunch. I had some fresh ingredients from the local farmers market and I had some buckwheat soba noodles in my pantry. I had added the noodles to a mushroom and ginger broth with a splash of soy sauce. Bean sprouts, mushroom and spinach, were used to garnish my bowl. Also, I had added a soft boiled egg as a finishing touch. I really need to make this again soon.

No sauce on the pizza. Just fresh spinach, plum tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, tons of fresh garlic and grated locatelli cheese. Abby loved it!

Crust was OK. Needed more salt. I'm not a huge fan of salt, but this was really lacking. I did alter the recipe some. I added some sugar, rosemary, basil, garlic, parsley, and oregano to the crust.

A closer view of the bottle of corn milk- this was the first time I was hearing of it, and it was so tasty that I had two bottles. It tasted just like soya milk. Corn milk is a raw extraction of juice in fresh sweet corn kernels with little water. It is an earthy, healthy drink served chilled without any sugar or any other external sweetener. Raw corn milk was extensively advertised in Thailand during 1998 to be a nutritious drink with the prominent benefits of rejuvenating skin cells and antioxidant ability. Raw corn milk is rich in Vitamin C that helps promoting the development of collagen. It also contains a good amount of natural carbohydrate making corn milk an energizing beverage. Apart from natural soya taste, I found that corn milk is mildly sweet, light, and refreshing. (Danang, Central Vietnam, Nov. 2016)
