cleansing and laking
after spending all of christmas, the lead up to christmas and after christmas eating delicious garbage (noodles! cookies! huge brunches!) all the time we are doing a "cleanse". this mostly means giving our bodies a break from sugar, booze, flour, anything processed, that sort of thing. it's not extreme but if you're looking for gravy and pizza recipes in the next month or so, maybe change your expectations. i will have a lot of tasty recipes coming up, just simpler less indulgent ones. before embarking on this cleanse, we went and stayed on a beautiful lake on Salt Spring Island and cooked and lazed and wined and hiked and canoed and relaxed. some last hurrah brunches (tempeh rancheros, yeasted waffles w/ pear, tofu scramble)
