Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans!

I am sure you all are with your families right about now, and probably working on your pumpkin pie dessert by this time. mmmm yum!! I miss that. One thing about moving to this island, is that no one celebrates Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving what? Halloween What? hah yeah it’s the strangest thing.

I will say that it does make me happy that atleast on this island, there are no turkeys being sacrificed on this day for our gorging pleasure. Well actually there arent ANY turkeys at all on this island, HA!

I realize now how much I took for granted the holidays back home. I miss getting together with my family on these days. I miss my family a lot actually. I am really looking forward to getting back to the States. I’m thinking a few months and we’ll be back. YAY! As much as I love this island, I miss California. I miss all the 1st world amenities! It’s amazing how much is taken for granted. This is quickly realized when you find yourself in a 3rd world country.  A gorgous tropical island I might add.

You know what I will miss the most when I go back home… The coconuts! Fresh Organic Coconuts. Oh gosh they are so tasty and the juice is so sweet and beautiful. I remember when I lived in Cali, I would buy the young coconuts from a health food store. We all know they are dipped in something gnarly and toxic, but they also just don’t taste like the ones here, not even close.  I usually have 2 a day here.  They are like 60 cents each.

Went to the market today (usually go every other day), didn’t get too much.

Just a couple things, but the best part….. Pineapples!!!!!!!!
They are in season. $2 bucks a pop. CAN’T beat that right?? woot.

It was a beautiful day today! The Sun decided to come out and play finally. Soooooooo Happy about that!! This place just lights up when the Sun comes out, Kinda like me

Was feeling particularly Fruity today. Heres what I had for brekky.

Watermelon Juice and Coconut Juice throughout the day.

Had a late lunch of  Kelp Noodles with Cilantro Pesto Sauce,
Topped with  Chopped Zucchini, Cheery tomatoes, and Green onions.

Cilantro Pesto sauce Recipe is from Julianos RAW, the UNcook Book

I was pleasantly surprised with this Cilantro Pesto sauce. Its pretty light and refreshing for having nuts. It wasn’t as heavy as your usual Basil Pesto. I think because it didn’t have pine nuts, only walnuts.

We are heading out to dinner with a few friends so that means “cooked food”. I am not 100% Raw, I’m one of those “mostly raw” type of girls.  So dinner… for me means I will probably have some local tasty fish or maybe even lobster!!!!!!!!! woooo sounds yummy.  Yeah I am pretty hungry! Oh and ofcourse some wine. It’s been a while so I am REALLY looking forward to some white wine.  Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc Please. Its a New Zealand wine.  Me loves it.

Til Next time Cuties,  Ibis.
