Balance

White Noise
papers, screens, artificial light
forcing inside when outside is night
stripping parts of who I am (was?)
damn, yet another pause

Dark
inside or outside into darkness falls
light can’t change the color of walls
how could one see that outside is white
when there’s no heat, no sun, no light?

Side note:
it’s been a while since I wrote anything,
parts of this segment feel forced to me,
others are not.

Ingredients:

• 1 Huge Apple (a red delicious, just about 350 gr, it’s HUGE!)
• 1 Orange (juiced, not whole)
• 1 whole Clementine
• 1 slice of Ginger (amazing for flavor, especially for people who usually don’t like ginger!)
• 1 handful of Spinach (oh yeah) + a couple of lemon grass leaves
• 1 Multi Vitamin tablet

Verdict:
9/10

The Spinach definitely gave it a green-fresh taste, very refreshing!
The best thing to drink before going for a workout, have a good one.

Ingredients:

• 5-6 Clementines (the juice is so orangey, I love it!)
• 8-10 Dates (Fresh, did you know that with to the preserved they add sugar?)
• 4-6 Bananas (That’s a lot of bananas for a shake)
• Iron tablet.

Verdict:
9/10
The mother of all sweet things! Holy crap you have to try it to believe it!!
Hope my taste buds will reconstruct after this

Today I made an amazing Pineapple&Raspberry shake!
What a way to start the weekend…

Ingredients:

• 1/2 Pineapple (the sweeter the better, get the Yellow/Orange ones)
• 1 Box (125 gr) of Raspberries (living in Berlin? At the Market on Kottbusser Brücke they cost 1 Euro for 2-3 boxes)
• 1 Banana (so the Pienapple & Raspberries wouldn’t be too dominant)
• half a cup Soy milk (not necessary if you have a strong blender, water is also ok)
• Iron tablet (doesn’t add flavor, but why not).

Verdict:
10/10
This is one of those shakes that remind me why I bought my Blender.
Simply put – Amazing.

Ingredients:
2 Bananas
1 Apple (pretty large)
1 Pear
5-6 Dates (one of the most delicious fruits of all time)
A small piece of Ginger
A cup of soy milk
A vitamin D tablet (not a must, but why not).

Verdict:
7/10
Tastes very good, but just too damn thick,
It’s all about proportions..

This is probably one of the best things I’ve done for myself.
It’s pretty much like an Energy bomb. Wakes me up completely.
(of course I can’t say the same about the 1 hour ride to the Uni)

Anyways, I thought why not share the goods ones here,
So here’s today’s shake:

Ingredients:

• 3/4 Pineapple
• 2 Bananas
• a small piece of Ginger (gives an AWESOME flavor, and is very very healthy)
• Half a glass of Soy Milk (just to get things running in the blender)

Preparation:
This will stay the same for every shake so I’ll write it down only once.

• Cut all the fruits
• put them in the blender
• turn the on switch

Verdict:
9/10
A very smooth taste, the Pineapple is very sweet,
a great way to start the day

The show was amazing! I seriously can’t believe I actually saw such an amazing band,
only 30 mins away from home. Amazing.

In fact, it was grounded properly,
much like the way a child might not “fit in”
with the school system and thus get bad grades,
the texture of a certain part of my food wasn’t fitting in with the big casserole.
But who am I to tell him he should fit in?

perhaps he’s right, perhaps they are wrong.

Excitement feeds me, on the energy you emit.
A forgotten candle has been lit.
And though I can’t help but admit.
It’s only a matter of time until reality will hit.

Put the soy beans in water for 8-12 hours
(I just put them and forget about it for a day),
Put them in the blender with water in the ratio of 1/2.5
(1 cup soy, 2.5 cups water, or 2? or 3? just try it and see),
Then cook the mix until it boils (very recommended, makes it easier to strain afterwards), Wait until it cools down and strain it through a cloth (I use a kitchen towel).

During the cooking process you can of course add a Vanilla stick or Cinnamon or whatnot.

Once you strain the soy milk, the leftovers you have
(the pieces that didn’t make it through the strain)
are called Okara, which is a very useful ingredient as it has many, many recipes online.

In my case, I decided to make sort of an Okara-Burger, followed no recipe by the way.

I used:
1 Jar of Okara (2-3 Cups)
1.5 Cups of Tomato Sauce (basically tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and a chilli pepper)
2 Onions
2 Garlic Cloves.

After chopping the onion and garlic, I just mixed everything up,
made small patties and put them for 15 minutes in an oven (250 degrees)
It was delicious! Although very breakable they do have a texture resembling meat..
I think it should be a lot more similar if making a Bolognese sauce

p.s.
Because I ate everything too quickly, I forgot to take a picture of the burgers :I
The picture on the post is the most similar thing I could find
Next time I’ll be patient, I promise!
