Hmm - I think I'm hungry. Â*Time for another lemonade.
Next a different way with broccoli which many rarely think of as a `raw' possibility. Try this and it will change your mind - broccoli primavera
3 large bunches of broccoli
1/3 cup of tahini – homemade is done in seconds and MUCH better than shop tahini
1-2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (3 - 4 lemons depending)
1/3 cup water
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 cup sunflower seeds (plumped in water 24 hours)
1/2 cup raw almonds (plumped in water 24 hours)
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
Cut broccoli florets from the stalks and place the florets in a large mixing bowl. Next, blend the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, water and tamari, until smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture onto the broccoli florets and stir until evenly covered with sauce. Stir in the sunflower seeds, almonds, and onion. Feeds 2 to 3

6 large potatoes (diced)
1 large onion (diced)
1/2-1 cup celery (diced)
4 large carrots (diced)
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 package white or yellow corn
or cut corn off 4 cobs of corn (I used the fresh)
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 gallon water
Seasonings to your taste (Spike, Mrs. Dash, Miso, etc.)
1 Tbsp. olive oil (optional)
Bring water to boil, add vegetables (except corn and parsley) and simmer for a short time... you want to keep veggies still a little crispy.
Add the corn and parsley just before ready to serve. (It's a very colorful soup.)
We enjoyed the hot soup, but knowing that there was still some life in it made it even better.

Hahah, Thialc you're absolutely correct. Nice to "see" you! Here ya go:
Homemade Tahini
(Sesame Seed Paste)
While Tahini is readily available in health food stores, Middle Eastern groceries, and even most supermarkets today, it is also very easy to make your own.
4 cups sesame seeds
1/4 to 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Spread the sesame seeds on a shallow baking tray and bake, shaking frequently, until fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Do not brown. Cool.
Put the sesame seeds in a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade. Add the vegetable oil. Process to a smooth paste, about 5 minutes. Add more oil if necessary, to bring the paste to a thick pouring consistency. Tahini will keep stored in a tightly covered jar in the refrigerator for several months.
Makes 3 cups.
