5-4-08 The Dill Was Gorgeous, originally uploaded by darnlucky.

Until I started eating raw food I always disliked the grocery store closest to our house. I called it The Ghetto Grocery because they didn’t carry a lot of the gourmet and snobby foods I would buy. You can’t find Nutella at The Ghetto Grocery. And they don’t have live lobsters in a tank!

But who knew you could get organic unsweetened coconut flakes, every kind of raw nut imaginable, flax seeds in bulk, and the most lovely fresh herbs I’ve ever seen in a grocery store. The Ghetto Grocery has got it going ON!

We were there yesterday, and the fresh dill looked amazing. So, I got up this morning and made little zuchninni bites with a raw dill and sunflower paste, filled with sweet peppers and tied with little carrot strings.

These are in the fridge waiting to be gobbled up for dinner. It was wonderful to spend a lazy morning in the kitchen being creative. I created a few new salad dressings, did a lot of chopping and bagging up of ingredients for sauces and smoothies for the week, and got some stuff into the freezer to help make the week less about chopping and mincing and dicing and more about the YUMMM.
