Today's Sustainable Feast in the Garden of Eden

in gardenofeden •  7 years ago 

It is a beautiful 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 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!

We made a Mexican taco feast spread!



We love tacos! They're great for a crowd, because each person can prepare their plate exactly how they like it. Today we made chicken, quinoa, peppers and onions, cabbage slaw, bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños, and a variety of tortillas and condiments for each person to enjoy. 



Our raw salad today was made of chopped cabbage, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, and a little bit of bell pepper and red tomatoes tossed in lime juice with salt. This made an excellent garnish for our tacos! 



We halved jalapeños and took out the seeds and membranes to cut down their heat. Then we stuffed them with cream cheese, and we wrapped the whole thing in a strip of bacon and cooked it until the bacon was crispy and the pepper was soft.



We made delicious and tender marinated chicken and sautéed it. This was a wonderful taco filling, or people could have it as a salad, or on top of quinoa.



We offered corn, flour, spelt, and blue corn tortillas for a variety of wrapping options.



We also made a pot of flavorful quinoa with rice! We cooked it with garlic, onion, and lime juice, and garnished it with fresh herbs for lots of flavor. 



We offered plenty of classic taco toppers for everyone to customize their dishes!



We had chips on the side with mild and spicy salsas, and creamy sour cream for dolloping. 



We also had a pickled relish with carrots, onions, and peppers. We like to have a variety of flavors, textures, and colors in each meal, and this relish adds a sour zing to our tacos!


We had plenty of cheese and creamy guacamole on service too! 


It was a beautiful fiesta of delicious, nutritious, sustainable food! 


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!

It's really rewarding to have such an abundant reality that there is really enough of everything. How sad it is that not everyone recognizes it or takes steps to make it a reality. Together we really can feed the world--just need to get our priorities straight! Thanks for sharing the deliciousness @gardenofeden.

Hopefully we inspire more people to embrace such a reality!

Nice and delicious food dishes you provided. Good work.

Woooow! I'm drooling here. Wow. These are amazing. I could use a meal too. Really admire what you do at @gardenofeden. You will definitely see more of me around.

There's nothing like a good taste of the vortex, @olawalium! Great job being here for dinner. Hope this fills your belly...or at least your heart!

Hahahaha, it filled my heart and eyes. Thanks for always being there.

Thank you @olawalium!

Anytime. Well done.

So much food...really making my mouth water and I am feeling hungry...

But the best part about all of this is the selfless reason behind, i.e. sharing with others who are unprivileged...

May God bless you!!!Amen

Thank you @xabi! Yes it is great that we have food every day, but much more important is that we have sustainable food to share with anyone who needs or wants food. Thank you for seeing our purpose~

congratulations friend I follow, all your food look very delicious some dishes have something from Mexico that rich!

Greetings, friend!

my mouth watered with your Mexican food, good profit!

Thanks

Lovely good food for an inspiring community! So many delicious dips to go with tacos. I will definitely try to follow your cooking recipes! The rocket stove is really a good idea too as I am planting lots of trees!

Cheers.

Rocket stoves are great fun, and very easy to make out of bricks and dirt. Hope you have fun cooking!

Thank you very much for your kind reply. I will take a photo of the local charcoal stove for you next time. It is not rocket stove, but it can be easily bought at the local market. I think rocket stove is more versatile.

Cheers,

Mexican food that divine! Blessings!!

Bless~

upvote and resteemit

Thank you~

I've seen Mexican food on youtube, I'm curious about the taste of tacos

They're delicious! Chili powder, cumin, garlic, onions, and bell peppers are some classic spices to use for seasoning taco meat.

I've seen tacos with avocados, is it delicious?

People like you always have abundance, excellent work!

Indeed we do, and we are honored to share it every day !

It really is a festin of colors and flavors, it looks delicious. Above the exaltation of gastronomic culture, greetings.

Greetings, @amaliasalascha!

:D

as always an extraordinary menu, my greetings to the chef ... Varied and deserved food !!

We like to mix it up.

At first I thought you were having chicken skewers, but it turns out you're having bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños! That's even better. Bacon tastes great on pretty much anything, but combined with the spiciness of the jalapeño it should be a treat for the senses.

Mmmmmm yes these bacon wrapped jalapeños are frequent guests on our menus. They're very popular around here!

The food is just as delicious as it is your presentation is beautiful.I liked the presence of the Coriander leaves of each food. It's really fresh food.

Thank you, we like to put care and attention into our presentations too.

That should be, for this you are ahead, you are unique.

how divine, I want!

We'll share!

Wow!
