Gourmet Salad At Homé Restauranté

My husband came home from the farmers market with great food items. Here is the gourmet salad we will have for lunch at Home Restaurante. (lettuce, sunflower seeds, edible flowers- "peppery nose twister"-, green onions, olive oil and 2 tbsp. of sauerkraut juice, served with a piece of dark chocolate....). We did not buy the sauerkraut juice, I just had some left over from a sauerkraut jar.

The Conqueror of Death

"The Conqueror of Death is a documentary film that describes the days of the Passion Week
(the suffering Week, the week in which Christ suffered until death) and Sunday, the day that Christ has resurrected.
The film is designed so as to explain to a wider audience the implications of these events and the significance of the Resurrection of Christ.
The Divine Services and the Monastery life in the days of Passion Week and the Resurrection were recorded by Cinnamon production from Belgrade in Dečani Monastery between 2009-2012."

Good morning!

I am looking forward for the Great Lent. Triodion is starting this Sunday. Can't believe!

In the meantime, I am experimenting with vegan breakfast options that I can use during the Lent.

This morning I decided to make this:
a plateful of colorful carrots, bok choy, cherry tomatoes, kiwi and organic peanut butter (almond butter is another option). I will have it with a cup of my homemade herbal tea (olive leaf, thyme, calendula, basil and lemongrass)! Lots of energy! Thank you God!
