2 of our 6 Winter incubator ducklings took a wander across the road after sneaking out of the fenced duck area, we didn’t even know they’d left until our neighbour called. Our babies: after the winter they had sleeping in front of the fireplace with us beside them, I also call them royalty. Anyway, only one little duck could be rescued from the dog that captured. We lost Lady, our best trained duckling. 😢 This is injured but alive Indie. She left as a nurtured clean well-loved duck and came back looking like she’s been abandoned and left roadside for a week. That’s how it is. With her feathers and back skin torn, and an injured leg, I don’t know if she will make it. After a nice clean warm bath and my duck-fix remedy though, she’s got a better chance. My duck-fix remedy has really worked so far to repair duckling weakness. It is a blend of hemp protein, spirulina, kelp or dulse, and even almond meal. I’ll have an idea if this is helping within 2 days. With no improvement in the last 48 hours, I know I’m holding out for a miracle. She likes her royalty treatment. Always good to have these ingredients in the pantry for an accident: hemp protein, spirulina, dulse or kelp. Add to soup or smoothies.

This is one of my favorite go-to foods when thyroid flares up. Wearing the face mask affects me terribly after just a few minutes, I’m sure I’m not alone. I get lightheaded, sinus headache, immediately blocked nose in both nostrils, become phlegmy, dry throat and my voice starts croaking, before I start coughing, all within 5 minutes. Asthma follows. I share this to offer my experience so others, of similar circumstances, do not feel alone. Are we taking enough notice of what’s happening to our health and if we are really doing ok, right now? If you have trouble with a mask I encourage you to see your doctor to discuss your options. In the meantime, miso broth is very helpful for restoring thyroid balance when it includes mushrooms, seaweed, ginger, and sea kelp. Other good foods for reducing thyroid pain are fresh pineapple, seaweed snacks, artichoke, and Chinese herbs. #thyroid #asthma #chronicfatigue #fairgo #breathing #healingfoods #holisticdoctor

Windowsill babies (or is it actually, the afterlife for these mature plants?). Once we know which plants are basically evergreen, that is they continue to produce food, it’s basically... well... impossible ... even... criminal ... to throw the “off-cuts” in the compost or bin. Peel back the outer layers for salads, juicing and cooking. Keep the inner cores in a bowl of water on the window sill and give them a new lease on life. When strong and growing, transplant back into compost-rich soil and mulch. Here is pak choy, lettuce, celery, leek, and mint. Being allowed to live a little longer. #harvest #reuse #upcycle #plants #plantbased #farmhouse #kitchendesign

A Vegan family. No longer scary. No longer impossible. No longer weird. Traditional cooking, slightly changed ingredients. Sausages, onions, mushrooms, polenta, silver beet, salad. Coconut oil, vegetable stock. Just like mumma used to make 🥰 Same Same but Different. #winter #warmth #familytime #weeknightdinner #kidslovevegan

Dizzy, lightheaded, low iron? Thankfully these plants produce continuously so long as you peel from the outer leaves on stem - not cut. Spinach, silver beet, Brussels sprouts, parsley, greens are not just garnish, they are the whole meal :)
