I miss trees and leafyness...the city is SO grey and icy and bleak right now. There has been a serious lack of sunlight in New York over the past few days (week, even?) and I'm certainly feeling the difference. Ever since we switched the clocks back, I probably haven't been getting as much sunlight as I should, as I'm inside teaching kids all day. I was out and about yesterday in the city running some errands, but I was covered from head to toe in winter gear. This is definitely a matter of concern for me. My energy levels have really slumped, and I'm worried about the other detrimental effects a lack of sunlight can have.
Someone on the Give it to Me Raw forums mentioned something about going to tanning beds in the winter, and I really must agree that artificial sun light seems like a better option than no sunlight at all. I'm really excited that my family is coming up for the break, but at the same time, I wish I was going to Florida so that I could soak up some sun at the beach. Its SO dark here.
Also, I figured out why my alfalfa seeds weren't sprouting! I didn't soak them for nearly long enough, a couple of minutes at most. After a few days of the sprouts just...sitting there, despite a few rinses. I did some more research. One website recommended soaking them overnight, so I was waaay off, haha.
Less than week until my family gets here for the holiday! I will be making tons of yummy recipes to share with them while they're here, and I can't wait! I will post directions & pictures of the finished product when I do. :)
