Born To Run, a Mushroom Burger, and a Fruit-Nut Salad for a Calm Mind

Here's the title of the book: BORN TO RUN: A Hidden Tribe, Super Athletes, and the Greatest Race the World has never seen. I really appreciate that title, as my books have really long titles/subtitles. It's like: You want to get it all in.

The book is so interesting that when Baby, one of the dogs, woke me at 3 a.m., I got up to read some more. There's a See inside this book function with quite a lot of text (at amazon). (This is totally unsolicited. I found the book yesterday because I was overwhelmed with the desire to go out running again in the afternoon, and it was drenching rain, so I decided to look for something on running, to redirect all the energy to my mind, and I found this book.)

This wonderful group of people - the Raramuri [there's an accent aigu over the second a] use a lot of cactus juice, albeit in the form of tequila; although they have another drink that doesn't appear to be alcohol, with one of the two ingredients being cactus. ~*~

Extra blessings to Duke today.

Okay. On to food:

Carrot-Mushroom Burger

Carrots*
Mushrooms, Baby Bello
Garlic*
Bok Choy
Red Onions
Celery
Flaxseed Oil

Blend the carrots and garlic together, and then throw in the mushrooms. This could be dehydrated in the sun, only it was pouring rain yesterday. So just press into burger shape and top the greens with it, then top with onion sliced really thin. The onion may be marinated first in the refrigerator in the Flaxseed Oil.


Calming Fruit Salad

Rhubarb Chard*
Strawberries
Prickly Pear*
Papaya*
Walnuts*

I'm using the term 'calming' instead of anti-inflammatory as I think it gives a more healing feeling. Our bodies need calming just as our minds do; and a calm mind calms the body.
