This morning's was a beautiful shade of celadon: broccoli, romaine, celery, apple, a little carrot, and of course a wedge of lime and knuckle of ginger. Very refreshing! It occurred to me that the pulp left over from the juice could be used in the warm miso broth for a satisfying, filling soup that is still mostly raw, and this works great. Our raw food inspiration, David, used to make a salad out of the pulp. (Of course, as soon as it's practical we need a juicer that doesn't produce as much pulp as this Champion.)
Spoke with someone this morning who reminded me of an essential principle concerning Comfort Food: changing eating habits isn't just about finding a "new" comfort food or finding comfort in a "different" food than before. It can be about finding comfort in things other than food. A hot bath, self-massage, a satisfying conversation with a friend, prayer, meditation in the Word -- after all, the Holy Spirit is THE COMFORTER. Food isn't for comfort: it's for nourishment.
