Adytum's Favorite Playground...Opposite is TepanYaki Grill and More Counter/Bar

Donn's been playing with raw food creations again. Every time he encounters an unsolvable health problem, out come the raw un-cookbooks and the Excalibur Dehydrator and walla! Health returns to normal....This time it was a nasty psoriasis event with no resolution in sight. In the past, a PSA so high Dr. Wright was talking cancer...Both times 100% raw, GF, organic was the healer. No drugs, no medical bills...

Cashew Dip...Picnic on the Silver Falls Hike

We've settled in at 85% raw and are relying more and more on Synergy's brands of green drinks, Maca and Protein powders from hemp, etc. The elevation of the spirit is the first thing we notice. When we consume light energy, our light energy increases. When we eat dead, processed food (Costco....) we decline in our spirit and our health follows. We're in love with the Olympia co-op and the beautiful greens literally arc out, like fine art, wanting to be explored.

Garden Boxes Full of Organic Greens, Phillip Gritton's Creation

 Phillip, my chef son turned finish carpenter, has been making us cedar garden boxes, tall and short, hooped and open. We have a good start on the late spring and summer greens that make up so much of our diet. Pound per pound greens have more protein than beef and they are more bio-available. In other words, grams of protein mean little if you can't digest it and when I test nutritional therapy clients for zinc sufficiency, no one yet has come up sufficient. Zinc is needed to make HCL...how can you make digestion acids without materials? So along with doing the 4R program to restore the gut, think about how well you're breaking down what you eat and make the necessary adjustments -

Woody's Raw Brownies...Mmmmm!!!!

Meantime, eat chocolate! Good raw cacao...not Hershey's. It raises the Dopamine levels in the brain which in turn stimulates the thyroid. This is the weight loss connection. Daily chocolate...our favorite is www.stirsthesoul.com out of Portland- raw, handcrafted and imaginative! The recipe below is Woody Harrelson's Raw Adult Brownie recipe complete with an infusion of pot...Donn sub'd ginseng for our batch that we took on a hike to Silver Falls- the most unbeatable hike in the World, past hot springs and following waterfalls, bear and elk all the way. Enjoy!

Silver Falls, Stevens Entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park- saw not one person on this hike....

Woody Harrelson’s Adult Brownies
Infused with a subtle, earthy flavor, these transcendent brownies will have you mumbling indecent proposals and coming back for more. And more. And more.

Serves 4 to 8, depending on time of day

What You Need:

3/4 cup cacao powder (or substitute 3/4 cup bazooka, for not-fully raw version)
3 tablespoons ground chia seeds
1/2 cup hemp oil, infused with "Haymitch’s Herb" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
1 cup quinoa flour
Goji berries, as many as you like
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

What You Do:

1. Remove shirt. Let the air infuse your skin with wellness.
2. Find a bowl. Light it up. Inhale—don’t go all fellow vegan Clinton on us now—exhale, enjoy!
3. Find a mixing bowl. Put all brownie ingredients in there, and swirl them around. Isn’t it weird that when you mix them together, you can’t just swirl the other way and un-mix them?*
4. Swirls are really pretty. Girls are really pretty. Oh yeah, have to fix that broken yoga swing.
5. Sample dough; make sure it’s good enough to make white men jump. Add more herb.
6. Get an earthen plate—preferably one you’ve formed with your own hands—and put brownies on it. They need to dry out, so go for a run. Keeps the bod tight, and helps make sure that you survive the impending zombie apocalypse. Since, you know, that whole pretending to be zombie Bill Murray idea is already taken.
7. Call friend with benefit Matthew McConaughigh. He gets so mad when you make brownies without him.
8. Once the dough has dried out ... wait, what are we making?
9. Search for a brown paper bag of homemade kale chips.

* Yeah, I read plays. You can’t beat Tom Stoppard.

Look at this amazing picnic site! We were the only ones on the Silver Falls trail all day long....Wow!
