JULY 26th
Happy, Hot 2011 Summer!
Greetings, livefoodfactorfriends!
High and I hope you are having a wonderful summer! The Weather Channel shows that many of you in The States are caught up in a sweltering heat wave drama! But up here in the Pacific Northwest, it has been the coolest, most refreshing summer I can ever remember! The mornings start out with a little mist or the lightest of drizzle, then the bright sun comes out for awhile with temperatures seldom reaching 80,
then some clouds bring shade, then a little shower burst is followed by more rays, then the sun sets bringing cool evening air. I have not had to water any of my bucketed plants or barrelled trees or even fill High's 100 gallon rain catcher whereby the fresh water drops from the sky fall onto the tin roof and tumble into his drinking dish! The spring rains and now these misting summer droplets have left the Cascade Mountains here in the Concrete area dressed in many layers and shades of COOL GREEN... USER-FRIENDLY GREEN... and MERCIFUL-MARVELOUS-COOL GREEN!
So many elk and deer in groups of 5 to herds of 20 and more cross the 5 mile backroad stretch between the guesthouse at Our Hygiene Homestead in The Woods and where the horse and I live at The HighJoy Homestead. I have decided not to drive over 30 M.P.H. at night! These stunningly lovely, wild creatures appear suddenly and in such numbers that to drive any faster is to invite danger to us all! The woods teem with other critters, too, less large but still spectacular!
WE HAVE BEEN PRETTY MUCH FULL HERE DURING SPRING & SUMMER.
BUT OPENINGS AT THE GUESTHOUSE START ON AUGUST 8TH!
WE WISH YOU WERE HERE!
High & I have been soooooo
busy for the last 2 months with guests at the guesthouse & all the other projects here at
GetWell*StayWell, America! I just have not written. But you were always
on my mind! Let us make up for lost time! We hope you are well & having
very cool, live-food
fun!
Let us add to your fun with this icy formula -- DONE UP RIGHT!
***
THE ICY LIVE-FOOD GRANITA FORMULA!
***
THE GRANITA is an icy & crunchy delight
-- but only when it is DONE UP RIGHT!
THE GRANITA can be served in a dish or a glass
-- or even in crystal to give it some high class!
THE GRANITA can be a dessert, an appetizer, a brunch
-- or it can be served even as a light lunch!
THE GRANITA is totally natural in its icy forming
-- not uniform and certainly not ever boring.
THE GRANITA is teasingly tasty & chunky or layered
-- nor homogenized & never is it perfectly tailored!
THE GRANITA is made in minutes & in the mouth will melt
-- & delights the 10,000 taste buds with icy coldness
everywhere felt!
MAKE THE GRANITA FOR YOURSELF & LOVED ONES, TOO!
Here, The HighJoy Horse & Guests have THE GRANITA
when nothing else quite like it will ever do!
THE GRANITA is not a snow-cone with
perfect, little snow balls in a cone.
***
THE GRANITA is not a slushy with
watery ice you drink through a straw.
***
THE GRANITA is not a blended sorbet
with uniform crystals set in a dish.
***
THE GRANITA is not an juicer-made
ice cream like from Dari-Delight.
***
THE GRANITA is not a cold drink with
plain, old ice cubes.
THE ICY LIVE-FOOD GRANITA is quite simply... a horse of a different color! BUT "DONE UP RIGHT" -- NO POISONS ARE ADDED TO THIS LIVE-FOOD, NATURAL-HYGIENE-CORRECT GRANITA FORMULA! On The Internet, you can Google "granita" & find lots of colorful pictures & lengthy & enthusiastic directions for making this refreshing recipe -- with added poisons galore! Look at the pictures. Get ideas from the recipes. But leave out the poisons that these unenlightened recipe writers just had to put in because they did not know what we do!
THE GRANITA -- DONE UP RIGHT -- IS SO SIMPLE TO MAKE, SO REFRESHING, SO FUN & SO STARTLINGLY SATISFYING! Directions by recipe writers on The Internet go on & on and on, like making THE GRANITA is rocket science! I will just cut to the chase for you here: In the following, I give you THE ICY LIVE-FOOD GRANITA FORMULA, provide the simple-simple directions, list what posions to leave out, then end with the first recipe our guests & I tried here at The Hygiene Homestead = WATERMELON-LIME GRANITA! then hope you will write back to tell me the FUN! FUN! FUN! you are having with "MY OWN HOMESTEAD ICY GRANITAS!"
THE ICY LIVE-FOOD GRANITA FORMULA = juice + a good freezer + seconds of snow-plowing over a 1 - 2 hour period!
Pour any yummy juice into any pan until about 1/4 inch or a little more deep. Let freeze about an hour. Go in & stir the freezing juice real good!
Let freeze another hour. Go in & stir again & serve!
Squeeze a few drops of lime juice into your granita!
LEAVE OUT ALL KNOWN POISONS:
LEAVE OUT... soft drinks
LEAVE OUT... alcohol
LEAVE OUT... refined & processed sugars of all
kinds
LEAVE OUT... chocolate
LEAVE OUT... sodium-chloride
LEAVE OUT... hot peppers & hot spices of all kinds
LEAVE OUT... milk & cream & other dairy products
LEAVE OUT... eggs, both yolks & whipped whites
LEAVE OUT... all else you know to be poisons!
Tomorrow, I will list possible flavor-enhancers to use, some fun presentation & garnish ideas & then start you off with SEVERAL MORE GRANITA RECIPES! After some experimenting, you can send us: "My Own Homestead Granitas!" High & I are back! So do open us up when you see us in your mailbox! WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YA'LL!
WE LOVE YOU, DEER LIVEFOODFACTORFRIENDS!
The Wilderness Woman & The HighJoy Horse!
YES... IT IS A COOL, MARVELOUS SUMMER... DID GET HOT YESTERDAY, THOUGH = IN THE 80S. I SEIZED THE DAY AND GAVE HIGH A 2-HOUR LONG SHOWER AND SUDDED HIM UP WITH A WHOLE BOTTLE OF STRAWBERRY SHAMPOO AND SCRUBBED OUT LAYERS OF 2010-2011 DIRT! IT IS NOT HIS FAVORITE THING TO RECEIVE. BUT OH! HOW GLORIOUS IN THE BRIGHT SUN IS THIS WHITE CREATURE WHEN THE BUBBLES ARE ALL OVER! CAN YOU IMAGINE? EVEN 6 FEET AWAY, HE SMELLS LIKE HE HAD BEEN RAIDING A SUMMER STRAWBERRY PATCH!
