Want to get the fuzz off the brains? The answer is to snack exclusively
on squirrel food.
Cuz look at those guys, WIRED! if they had typewriters they'd make
Shakespeare look dumb!
If they were sports stars, move over Joe Montana! Rocket scientists,
strictly Von Braun levels of high energy and super clear, functioning brains!
We can adapt SQUIRREL cookery to our own limited kitchens, abilities and brains with the slightest amount of kitchen preparation. Also, if we're concerned about being more vital, getting moving during a recession to make some extra cash, well the addition of SQUIRREL SNACKS, many times a day will light your wick. You are going to eat your way LIVELY! And give it to the kids as they'll get clear-headed and stop making bad life choices!
During the time I lived with CARLITOS, the WONDER SQUIRREL, I learned that even the semi crippled, which Carlitos was for a while there, is more energetic than any human. I didn't wonder why long. He refused hamburgers, cokes, pancakes, scrambled eggs and made circles around the table for NUTS! Go figure! So here are his favorite recipes!
SOAKED ALMONDS - pour boiling
water over raw almonds, 2 min later, peel.
or soak in cold for 3 hrs. peel and don't eat peels, astringent! eat
nuts by the quarter pound and add a few raisins to each bite.
ANY NUT
done as CANDY- Throw all the fresh, raw, cold nuts into
blender
with a few dried figs, dried cherries, dates, dried cranberries, some
coconut, all
or any of it, a lot of LEMON ZEST AND JUICE and whirrrrrr. GRIND IT.
Make balls, store in glass jar in fridge. A few squirrel balls in the
post lunch hour
with a cup of Colombian coffee. WOW! Really LIGHTS YOUR WICK!
SUNFLOWER & PUMPKIN SEEDS -
Shelled kind, from hfs, must be kept ice cold to
prevent rancidity. toast lightly on heavy skillet, toss into bowl,
throw on some good soy sauce, where soy not wheat is first ingredient,
stir/shake until it stops sizzling, steaming. Or add your fav seasoned
salt. Make your own from bulk-bought ingred, real sea salt to get a fantastic
flavor. I always put garlic powder, thyme, sage, oregano, a little cumin
and curry, onion powder in mine.
RAW VEGIES- PTTTOOOEEY! right? But any raw vegie can be made tasty with:
SESAME GOMASIO ( a Japanese SEASONED SALT)- Heat sesame seeds on heavy skillet til popping, lite gold, then cool slightly. Grind in some sea salt, just a sprinkle! Japanese invented this. Cuts way down on salt use. The little bit of salt you get in there, when ground in, melts over the sesame and is extended. No mortar/pestle or food processor? Use back of spoon to grind it in. Keep gomasio in jar, sealed, dry; keep cold in fridge. Use to make boring foods light up your mouth! On rice, grains, but good on raw vegies.
VEGIES THAT RESPOND TO GOMASIO: Use on cuke slices, celery, salad leaves. Before you serve vegies, chop some fine arugula on top. Maybe one or two Kalamta olives. These last two will really amuse the mouth. The important thing is that if you snack on these foods and avoid fried chips, sugary "later-let-down" foods, you will double your body's aura and energy. You will build health with what you snack on instead of the other way around, which most snacks do.
FRUIT- If you grow fruit on trees, you know how Squirrels love them. Carlitos was encouraged to go run around the garden daily, climb trees. He was inordinately fond of any tree that was hanging with ripe fruit and so were his cousins, who'd join him. And they'd chatter away while playing tetherball with ripe apricots. Fruit has to be eaten solo. No vegies or starches with it. Mono-meals of fruit will have you climbing trees, too!
