I made really tasty raw burgers today (see recipe at the end). I love weekends and this one was amazing. Nothing special happened, it was just an ordinary weekend if you look at it from the outside but for me it felt warm, buzzing and joyful. My naps had special quality to them, I was waking up seconds before the alarm. I allowed myself lying in and extra dreaming in the mornings without feeling guilty or thinking that I'm not doing uberman by the book. This weekend I wasn't and it didn't matter. On Saturday and Sunday morning I went to bed at 7am rather then 8am and had a core sleep for about an 1.5h. I then read and had breakfast and went for another nap or two. It felt great and I just missed the midday nap instead. The days had real quality to them as I felt uplifted, inspired and just simply happy. There was no particular reason for my positive feelings. I just felt really good. I met some friends today and they commented on my good looks considering that I wasn't sleeping according to the rest of the world sleeping rules.
The raw food and polyphasic sleeping are working to my favour. I hope this week will be special too. I won't have extra naps in the mornings but I think I managed to recharged myself for the whole week. We shall see. I'm curious if I'll maintain this level of energy towards the end of the week. It will be challenging as students are back tomorrow so my work will be also more demanding.
Here is the recipe for the raw burgers:
2 cups cashew nuts
1 large red pepper
2 celery sticks
1 small red onion
1 garlic clove
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp cumin
celtic sea salt
black pepper
Blend the cashews to a fine powder in a good guilty blender. If you don't have one just blend them in any blender as fine as you can. Take it out and put aside.
Blend the rest of the ingrediens and add the cashews. Mix it all by hand and form burgers.
Ketchup: blend 1 tomato with 3 (pre-soaked) sun dried tomatoes with 1tbs of honey and 1tbs vinegar
I served it with rocket salad, finely chopped parsley and gherkins.
Delicious. Enjoy!

Mhm! Tried the burger recipe today. Very tasty! Unfortunately it was more of a soup ;) Maybe I should try to find one of those food dehydrators, though I've only heard about them online so far.
Thanks for sharing!
