It is a wonderful day in the Garden of Eden, and we are giving thanks for more than enough of everything in this abundant life of freedom!  

We made a delicious feast for our full time volunteers today on our indoor wood burning stove rather than on the rocket stoves of our sustainable outdoor kitchen. We stayed nice and toasty, had a fantastic meal, AND heated water for showers for super sustainable efficiency. As usual, there was more than enough food for everyone, and we are happy to share our abundance with you!

Today we made a great spread with falafel and tahini cream sauce, cucumber and spinach dip, and 2 kinds of curry over basmati rice!

Most of us love Indian food because it is so flavorful and spicy! Even the side dishes are flavor explosions. We made basmati rice with saffron, cardamom, and bay leaves for lots of great taste, color, and scent.

We offered a spicy chicken curry for our meat eaters using a tomato sauce base with onions, garlic, ginger, chiles, lots of curry powder, and fresh curry from our garden. 

We also made a vegetarian curry with a bit of yogurt in the sauce. It has tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, green peas, carrots, onions, ginger, and a masala spice blend of coriander, turmeric, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, clove, bay leaf, cardamom, fenugreek, and more chiles! 

We made some very delicious falafel as well!! These fried balls are from the Middle East, and they are made with chickpeas, onions, parsley, garlic, and cumin. They're crunchy on the outside and a little bit crumbly on the inside, and they are especially awesome dipped in a creamy tahini yogurt sauce! 

Tahini is made from ground sesame seeds. It has lots of calcium, B vitamins, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, manganese, iron, and zinc. 

Not only did we use it for the excellent tahini yogurt sauce for the falafel, but it's also an important ingredient in hummus! This is another awesome dip from the Middle East made from chickpeas. It's yummy with raw veggies or pita bread. 

This was a beautiful and satisfying feast! 

Food is important, and we hope to inspire people to really take time to eat, enjoy it, and share it with someone you love. We also hope to inspire more and more sustainable practices in regards to food! 

We do all of our cooking over fire, using wood that was otherwise destined to end up in a landfill! This is our indoor wood burning stove in action - it cooks our food, warms our communal space, and heats water for hot showers all at the same time!

Food is an honored & elemental part of our daily life in community. You can learn more about our unique, intimate, and super sustainable relationship with food here!
