Thought I would tempt you all with the menu from my second week of delivery from the Ceres Project.
Carrot soup with orange and fennel
Quinoa cakes
Broccoli and Tomato Salad
Herbed Chicken Skewers
Fresh Orange and Beet Salad
Roasted Fish with Pumpkin Seed and Herb Pesto
Mmmm- it was all delicious. This week I decided to take the approach of tasting everything for dinner tonight and then I can pick and choose by meals after. It seemed like even more food this week. This is such an amazing service. Hope you'll spread the good word if you're so moved by this awesome program!
Other than that I'm doing well. Finally got my feet back under me, of course I have a little cold again, but I guess that isn't exactly surprising. I will try to make sure I get a little down time tomorrow in the midst of party preparation. Gratefully I have lots of help and we are in good shape for Saturday. Even better, my sister KC is coming to spend Friday night with us to help, and she is a morning person which means I can sleep in on Saturday before the party! That will definitely set me up for a good rest of the day of celebrating Nick! Tomorrow though, it is Royal Wedding day and you can bet I will be watching (a recording- not live!) to see the lovely couple tie the knot!

Ceres Project
Tonight we received the first delivery from the Ceres Project. Aside from the fact that this is an amazing service, delivering food to cancer patients for free to very low cost, the food is outstanding!
The food is cooked fresh by a group of teens and local chefs and is based on the "food as medicine" principals set for by Rebecca Katz in her cookbook The Cancer Fighting Kitchen. I am benefiting from the Marin group.
This weeks delivery included:
Magic Mineral Broth
Anytime Bars
Asparagus Salad with Roasted Hazelnuts and Lemon Vinaigrette
Japonica Salad
Miso Ginger Fish
Lemony Chicken Thighs
This is enough to feed me, Nick and my mom. Tonight we enjoyed the fish and both of the two salads.
Why am I tempting you with this delicious menu? Well, if you are looking for a cause to get behind, this is a great one. They are always looking for drivers to help deliver meals, and of course donations to support the effort (food, containers, space, etc). The food is local, prepared fresh, with health and good taste in mind. So check it out! And spread the good word! If you know someone looking for volunteer opportunities, or funds burning a hole in their pockets, send them to the Ceres Project. They have both a Sonoma group as well as a Marin group.
So today's shout out goes to all involved with the Ceres Project, from Julie Burford (who runs the Marin Branch), to Rebecca Katz (local celebu-chef), to Kathleen (my coordinator) and Greg (who delivered my food), and all the teens who helped cooked! Not to mention Aunt Yvette who connected us in the first place to this amazing service. This is really going to help all of us keep our heads on straight throughout this process.
