My tongue is raw.

  I had a day off yesterday.
Ahhhhhh.
I didn't change out of my pj's until 4.  And the only reason I changed was that I had a consulting appointment.  Turns out people think I'm an expert on helping start-ups with marketing.  Who da thunk?

I spent most of the morning looking up anti-candida recipes.  Found a great blog  http://cardboard-diet.blogspot.com/  . She's got a bunch of recipes that look fantastic.  I'm excited to get started.

Last night we had the best dinner.  Steve found two nice pieces of ahi tuna in the freezer.  I made a herb & nut mixture to coat the top.  I didn't take any pictures because I forgot.  I did take a picture of the bean & red bell pepper saute.


Isn't that pretty?  I spiced it with a salt mixture that Steve was gifted last year at Burning Man.

Recipe for the tuna topping:
1.  Go out to the herb garden & see what's edible:  rosemary, thyme, lemon sage, 3 leaves of spearmint.
2.  In the small food processor put all the herbs along with 1 tsp whole pepper corns, 1/8 c almonds, 1 TBS olive oil, juice of 1/2 lemon, giant pinch of salt, notice that it's not very full so add some raw spinach to take up the slack.
3.  Blend until smooth-ish.  
4. Coat top of ahi.  About 1/2 inch worth.
5.  Bake until done.
6.  Eat & forget about taking picture.

********************
My tongue feels raw and exposed.  

This anti-candida diet is working.  The thrush on my tongue is slowly disappearing.  It's leaving my tongue raw.  

This morning's drink of cranberry juice, apple cider & maple syrup was very tart on my tongue. I'm figuring this is a good thing.  

I'm looking forward to my tongue feeling healthy.

Yay on getting results. I'm betting food will start to taste better, or stronger, as you go.

And thanks for the recipe!!
