Tammi's World

Hot and Fresh

Long ago, in what seems like another life, I Tammi was a hippy.

Yes, you read that correctly.

I was going to some wacked out "religious" services, living in a commune type envoirnment and eattin' all healthy and shit.

I remember when I had been in an accident on my bike. I had been taken to the ER and they wanted to hold me for a few days. Well, that was not gonna happen. It was decided, by my "friends" that I should be allowed to heal at "home" so after much arguing with the doctor I was released.

Part of our docturn was healthy. Healthy Healthy Healthy. We thought we knew more than the doctors about what was best for us and we made everything we could from scratch including yogart. Saturday mornings we would go to the dairy farm where we bought our milk and cream and get everything we needed for yogart. Then we'd add the fresh fruit and damn - that was some good stuff. My part of the process was easy. I was in charge of making the granola. Let me tell you folks - there isn't much in life that is as yummy as my homemade granola fresh from the oven. Seriously.

So - what's got me thinkin' about this today? Easy. I'm sooo sick from this medicine and can't seem to eat anything that isn't either tasting terrible or making me sick. Except for something I picked up for lunch. Strawberry yogart with granola. I sat here after throwing out my potato and salad and could have eaten a gallon of that stuff.

And it made me realize - all that time I spent as a hippy wasn't wasted. I think I'll make some granola this weekend.
