Pecan + Walnut Milk recipe

Prep time 15 mins

Cook time 5 mins

Ingredients

1 Cup Walnuts

1 Cup Pecans

4 Medjool dates, pitted

1 Cup Water (for soaking)

2 Cups Water (to be added later)

⅛ Tsp Cinnamon

instructions

In a bowl, combine walnuts, pecans, dates, and one cup of water. Let soak for at least 4 hours. However, if you're pinched for time, soak nuts and dates with one cup of boiling water instead, for about 10-15 minutes.

In a blender, add nuts, dates, the water it was soaking in, two additional cups of water, plus the cinnamon. Blend on high for at least two minutes, or until mixture is smooth in the blender.

Line a large bowl with a nut milk bag. If you don't have one, you can also you a cheesecloth or even a fine mesh sieve. Just note that using a sieve may not result in a super-smooth milk.

Once all of the mixture has been poured, squeeze the liquid out into the bowl.

Once you've squeezed out as much liquid as you can, transfer the milk into an airtight container. I like to use mason jars. The milk can be used immediately, or can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Auroras in Photography by Neil Zeller

While Calgary, Canada-based photographer Neil Zeller has photographed everything from cityscapes to remote mountains to corporate events, his heart ultimately belongs to the night sky and its myriad of breathtaking wonders. Twinkling stars, bright hints of the Milky Way, and the otherworldly glow of auroras stretch above silhouetted landscapes and manmade landmarks in his stunning images. With a fresh and spectacular view of the northern lights in each photo, Zeller’s shots are dazzling reminders of the beauty and mysteries of the cosmos. 

Photography is where I cleanse my spirit, nourish my soul and am truly happy. I see the world around me in 4×6 boxes. My eyes capture wide angles, interesting corners, beams of light and faraway things. My goal is to capture in my camera, the story my eyes could never tell you.

It’s perfectly normal to sing this song to your evening cup of coffee.

Make coffee not war

True Story and your history lesson for the day about Mahatma Gandhi and Coffee:

Coffee was banned in Sabarmati Ashram but kept for guests who would arrive. One day, a sick South Indian who was down with dysentery requested a cup and Gandhiji knew that he would not stop until he had some relief.

'Oh, you unrepentant sinner, that is what you want! And then seeing the disturbed look on the lad's face, he added: You certainly shall have your cup of coffee. Yes, light coffee will soothe your stomach. And what will you have with the coffee? I don't think we can make uppama or dosa but warm toast would go well with coffee. I shall send you a tray.' said the Mahatma.

After a while he returned,'Now here is your coffee and toast. And, mind you, I made you, coffee myself. Now like a good South Indian, will you certify I can make a good coffee?"

'But,' whispered the lad, 'why did you not ask someone else to bring this in to me. I am so very sorry I put you to this trouble.' 'Now, now,' said Gandhi, 'do not ruin your coffee. Cold coffee is bad coffee. You see Ba was resting, and I did not care to disturb her.
