Right of Spring

I think we skipped Spring and went straight to Summer!
It's been a cool 90 degrees the past couple days down here in S Florida.
I am not complaining!! It's been beautiful from sunrise to sunset.

We are embarking on a very meaningful weekend for a lot of people. Whether it is Passover or Easter or just an excuse to get together with loved ones.....we all will celebrate and contemplate in some way.
I am a lover of tradition. The way we pass these actions from generation to generation each time adding our own little flavor in some way. I look forward to every year for the chance to be with family, old friends, and new ones as well.
The first night of Passover Seder we had two new guests.... they were in the bellies of their mothers last year!!
Tonight we celebrate again the freedom that we enjoy while never forgetting what others have experienced for our growth. I personally believe that this is not a religious thing, but, a human thing.
We have come a long way with a long way to go.

My hope is that ALL beings will have the freedom that I experience everyday.

Of course the food is the crowning event of any holiday!!!
I found this AMAZING recipe for
Raw Vegan Gefilte Fish.




It's one of those traditional foods that you grow to love.


RAW VEGAN GEFILTE FISH

5. form into gefilte-shaped patties and line onto your dehydrator sheet or cookie sheet (for oven on lowest setting) decorate top with thin carrot slices just like out of the jar!
6. set dehydrator/oven to 105 degrees, dehydrate/bake for 5 hrs, or until solid enough to stay together, while still being soft on the inside. flip 1/2 way through if desired


Get ready to impress guests w/the best Gefilte "Fish" they have ever tasted! What a beautiful "WISH"!!!
