Good good evening!! 
Today has gone really well and I’ve found myself almost oblivious to being on a rice fast! I think that is because I’ve been busy but I also really enjoyed rice cream for breakfast this morning and baked rice this afternoon. It makes such a difference when you alter the cooking style.
It’s a good lesson in learning how to be versatile with ingredients. OK, you have the same ingredient but how many ways can you cook it?
I think I could just have rice cream for the rest of the fast and be very satisfied with that. Have you tried it before? Mmmm it’s sooooo lovely and feels sooo nourishing. I can’t believe I’ve never made this before!
After making the rice cream, I put the rest of the rice in the oven and baked it for a little while with some shoyu. When I took it out of the oven this morning it was crispy on top and the rice underneath was all soft. I was able to fold this into a kind of pitta/sandwich kind of thing. It was really nice to eat it and felt like I was eating a brown rice sandwich! Amazing!! I am hoping to pull it off again tonight as another brown rice sandwich for tomorrow would be exciting!
I’m looking forward to seeing how I will feel tomorrow
No psoriasis to report.
I have noticed that I’ve had dreams every night since being on the fast although my sleep has felt deep and undisturbed. Today I feel like I have much more energy compared to other days. Lets see how it goes.
After yesterday, I realise that carrot juice & ginger is far too yin if I am on a brown rice fast. Everything is relative and although of course it’s not as yin as many other things, when you’ve only eaten brown rice for a few days that then makes it much more yin. It’s like the point of balance is continuously shifting all the time and it’s important to be aware of this.
OK, it’s hip bath time! It’s going to feel strange on Sunday evening going to bed without having a one!!
Love & magic
