My lunch today is a grilled cheese sandwich, apple (wild, I found a grove of apple trees on a walk!) with peanut butter (and cinnamon for my blood sugar and honey- just a touch), three squares of the highest quality chocolate I can get my hands on, and a quart of RRL/Nettle infusion. Full of minerals, especially magnesium, and good fats- I always crave fat around my period-, this is real comfort food. So much better than the pizza and chocolate chip cookies I used to eat in college. 🙂
And by the way, sex is a great way to nudge a poky period along. 🙂
Hi! Just wanted to drop in and say I’m liking your blog quite a bit, especially the idea of homesteading in the city and herbalism and mild-paganess (well, moon cycles anyway) and probably a billion other things…
If I may ask, what is “RRL?” somethingsomething leaf? red raspberry? It would be pretty cool if I guessed write, though that isn’t very likely…
Anyway, sounds like a yummy meal 🙂
Hi, I”m so glad you’re enjoying it. 🙂 It’s not quite what I envisioned when I started blogging, but I guess that’s the way all creative endeavors go.
Yes, RRL is red raspberry leaf- it was one of the first herbs I tried that “worked” for me. A cup of that, and my cramps go right away, gone. Combined with nettle, it’s incredibly nourishing, and my standard nourishing brew.
Yeah, the mild-paganess as you put it is quite the journey I’m on, as a professing Believer in Yeshua. 🙂 Combining some very different but passionately held beliefs without offending everyone is er, interesting to say the least.
I checked out your blog too, and I like it. I hope we stay blog-friends. 🙂
I was right, awesome. I’m absorbing herbaly information just by reading a bunch of blogs, yay! I hope we stay blog-friends too 🙂 (and thanks for the comment, I’m happy to hear that someone else enjoys it)
Great post….sounds yummy. I too find that nourishing foods and drinks are wonderful during my moontime. Thanks for the reminder, and I too have found that sex is a great jump start. 🙂
