    My Raw Food Recipes

    I'm in love with the raw vegan recipes. For me, it's the freshness of the ingredients and the ease of the food prep. And the recipes turn out so yummy (most of the time;), especially the desserts. Try some of my simple recipes here.

    cucumber

    A European cucumber is considered a regular cucumber where I live, we get them at any organic supermarket year round. There are few different varieties we can get from the organic market in the summer, but the cucumber is what we mean by cucumber.

    Picking the best cucumber

    Frische, knackige Salatgurke sehen frisch und knackig aus. Keine gelben Stellen, keine schrumpelige Haut. Zur Not kann ich die Gurke am Strunkende anfassen und fühlen, ob diese schon etwas weich ist. Dann ist diese nicht mehr so ganz frisch.

    You can spot a fresh, crunchy cucumber by its looks. No yellow spots, no dry or wrinklely skin. The end, where the flower would be, dries and softens first. B touching it, you can tell if the cucumber is still firm or has been sitting in the store for too long already. Also the other end, where the cucumber was attached to the plant dries faster than the middle part. Squeeze it generally.

    When I have an older cucumber sitting in the fridge, of course I will still eat it. But if I had the choice, I would not buy a soft cucumber.

    The slizer I have in the photos is from Japan, it looks great in photos, but from my experience, any slizer will do, they are sharp, affordable and handy. I would definitely recommend a protective glove (special safety glove, not just the the latex food prep one) when using a slizer, mandoline, or julienne slicer.

    Storing a cucumber at home

    Cucumbers do not store super well. If the cucumber is still in a good shape, it will last couple of days. A cucumber does not like to linger on a the warm kitchen counter. It also does not enjoy sitting in a cold in the refrigerator.

    I always try to use the cucumbers first before getting to the other veggies. I would never try to store a cut cucumber.

    broccoli

    Broccoli is a very underrated vegetable. Probably because most people don’t it when overcooked. Raw broccoli is quite tasty , but is difficult to chew and not easy to digest. There are a few prep hacks, that help making raw broccoli softer, such as shredding it in the food processor.

    Is Schrödinger’s cat still alive?

    Transcript from the video:

    (Schrödinger will be spelled Schrodinger in the following for the ease of reading)

    You may have heard of Schrodinger’s cat but may not know exactly what it refers to that is because it can be quite a complex concept to grasp today.

    We will explain Schrodinger’s cat in a way you can truly understand but first who was Schrodinger? Born in Vienna on August 12th 1887 Berwyn Schrodinger was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933 Schrodinger is famous for his work in quantum theory particularly for the Schrodinger wave equation which described the behavior of quantum particles which act like both waves and particles his equation provided solutions in which wave functions are related to the probable occurrence of physical events.

    A man of many talents, Schrodinger also attempted to show how quantum mechanics could be used to explain the stability of genetic structure. However, despite all this the issue of the role of probability in quantum theory made Schrodinger along with some other physicists very unhappy and he devoted a great deal of time to developing philosophical objects to the standard interpretation of his own theories.

    The most famous of these is a thought experiment now referred to as Schrodinger’s cat.

    The thought experiment was an attempt to refute an idea proposed by physicists in Copenhagen known as the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. These physicists suggested that particles could exist simultaneously in two states. And that it was only once the particle had been observed that it existed in one state or the other.

    Schrodinger came up with his thought experiment as a way to argue that this theory did not make sense.

    One version of the thought experiment goes something like this: Imagine you locked a cat inside a steel box that is completely cut off from the outside world. In the box, said Schrodinger, you also place a vessel that contains a small amount of a radioactive substance. The radioactive substance this is such, that after one hour there is an equal probability of one atom of the substance either decaying or not.

    You also place a Geiger counter inside the box which can detect if radioactive decay has taken place. The Geiger counter is connected to a hammer, placed above a small glass container, holding a poisonous gas. If the Geiger counter detects radioactive decay, it will prompt the hammer to break the glass releasing the poison. This poison will then kill the cat, while the box is still closed.

    There is no way of predicting what has happened inside it, as there is an equal probability of the atom decaying or not decaying. We therefore cannot know whether the cat is dead or alive until we open the box.

    Speaking in terms of quantum mechanics, as long as the box is still closed, we could say that the cat exists in a superposition of states both alive and dead. Once the box is opened, the atom’s wave function collapses and one outcome is observed.

    Schrodinger argued that this outcome was quite ridiculous as you could not possibly have a cat that is both alive and dead.

    The experiment might sound strange, but it was simply meant to show how ludicrous the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and quantum superposition were. However, because of the complicated way Schrodinger setup his experiment, many people assumed Schrodinger was in fact supporting the concept of quantum superposition. In reality, he was arguing the opposite.

    It should be noted though that while quantum superposition can seem silly when applied to everyday objects, in the macro world, the theory is not without merit it does in fact work for quantum particles, like electrons. On a final note, we would like to share this little fun fact Albert Einstein got very excited about Schrodinger’s thought experiment, even developed his own version with explosives there now you know all there is to know about Schrodinger’s cat.

    Spinat ist lecker, leicht, einfach abzuwaschen und für ein “Grün” sogar leicht cremig auf der Zunge. Ich kaufe Spinat nicht sehr oft, da dieser oft in Plastik eingepackt ist. Losen Spinat finde ich auf Biomärkten und in manchen Bioläden.

    Spinat ist super in Salaten und in Smoothies.
