Raw 'Popcorn' for the movies
It has been one week today and I am still buzzing!!
All those years my friends and I have spent mimicking Carrie and the girls, fighting over who gets to be who, drinking cosmos even when we didn’t like them so much, buying expensive shoes, even when we couldn’t afford them, searching every corner in desperate hope to spot one of them whilst visiting New York and just stalking them, really.
I actually truly believed I will grow out of the hype, but as soon as Stacey found out they are in London for the Sex and the City 2 Premier, we were both in Leicester Square hunting for that ideal standing spot with our cameras strapped to our wrists and throats cleared for shameless screaming.
Then they started arriving and I felt like a little teenage girl, who had all her dreams come true at once..
Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) arrived first at exactly 5.45PM as promised and amazingly finished signing autographs last- what a champion
Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) arrived next. She looked amazing with long hair and definitely aged best of all four
Then came Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and disappeared just as fast after only a few autographs
Then it was.. BIG (who cares what his real name is)!!! This is around the time all the walls of the Leicester Square buildings experienced a violent shaking vibration
Last of the main cast was Samantha (Kim Cattrall)! This is around the time Stacey, standing next to me, experienced a violent shaking vibration
And this is me (Tanya Alekseeva)!..after I signed all the autographs
And just one more time. Because Big is Beautiful. And because I like to believe he looked straight at me for this photo!
And of cause this wouldn’t be a Raw Food blog without some Popcorn for the movies, so here is a super simple recipe:
RAW 'POPCORN'
1 x large head cauliflower
3 x Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 x tsp salt
-Cut the cauliflower into bite sized pieces
-In a big container, combine the cauliflower, nutritional yeast and salt until the pieces are entirely coated - put the lid on tight, and then shake shake shake
-Lay the coated cauliflower pieces on your dehydrator mesh trays and dehydrate at 105F degrees for 24 hours; they will be nice and crunchy
Note: this is obviously not made from corn, so don’t expect it to taste like corn, but it looks pretty much like popcorn when done and tastes pretty awesome too!
