sMOOTHIE TIME

Nothing like a kick-ass banana smoothie from the sidewalk's Nature base Boutique. It causes cat-like flatulence in certain factions of the stylish sidewalk diaspora but no one gives a heck. Existing customers still crave it and new ones are willing to try it. Besides, Palme d'Or, aka the sidewalk playboy, finds it easy and convenient to make. No need to stress about his statement suit and tie getting dirty or his impeccably edgy look, getting messed up in the process.


[TASSIE chases missing cat on the sidewalk, Nick parks her car on the sidewalk]


Passer-by, CARRIE
(grunts)

Where does she expects pedestrians to walk now?....Anyway, I heard that you are the artisan of the greatest raw foods dinner...What's your special today?


Palme d'Or

I think Nick is only concerned about other motorists hitting her new car. It's quite safe on the sidewalk...We do DESSERTS, not dinner. Today, we have a wicked smoothie. It's a complete meal, so it has a good amount of protein and enough carbohydrates....We NEED protein.



CARRIE

.....sounds wonderful and healthy. Bring me one. Wait. What are the ingredients?


[TASSIE slips and scrapes knees]


Palme d'Or

Ripe mangoes, strawberries, ripe bananas, raw honey, rolled oats, flax seeds, raspberries, peanut butter, blackberries, skim milk, blueberries,.....great for lunch. Great way to start your afternoon. I used apples as well, and some crunchy raw goji berries.


CARRIE

Any dairy?

Palme d'Or

Not today, sorry. Actually, there are no skim milk. That was a mistake....I blended the raw ingredients in raw rasberry sauce, almond milk and raw honey.


CARRIE

You have some pretty good ideas. Almond milk is a great substitute for dairy milk. No wonder it looks so creamy.


JOANNE PEH

SIdewalk playboy, I notice you NEVER mention how much of each ingredient you used in your raw foods concoctions?

Palme d'Or

Crafting raw foods dishes is not an exact science, so I never meausure the ingreidents. I just use amounts that I fancy, amounts that are convenient etc...

Joanne Peh
(laughs)

Sound like a whole lot of EXPERIMENTATIONS to me.


Palme d'Or
That's exactly what they are.


Joanne Peh

That sounds amazing. No better way to share desserts on the sidewalk

[BILL clears throat loudly.]
..............................

Palme d'Or


You'll love it. It tastes great. has no nasty ingredients. It'll fill you with boundless energy. It may make you fart alot though.


ADRIAN

That make me really HUNGRY..I LIKE it. I wish I could like this twice..If goodness makes me fart, so be it.


[LAUGHTER]


BILL

No thank you. I'll NEVER have bird food for lunch. (walking away) The sidewalk barbeque smells delicious. I bet it's cheaper too.


ADRIAN

That make me really ANGRY, Bill.


BILL

Why though? Did the sidewalk playboy hire you as spokesperson for Nature Base Boutique?


JESSIE

(shouts at a pedestrian approaching him)

STOP texting while walking on the busy sidewalk, you LEMMING!

a kick-ass celery salad

MAY is national salads month, but at the sidewalk's NATURE BASE BOUTIQUE, every week is RAW SALADS o'clock. Raw foods rocks! David, aka, the sidewalk playboy, suited and booted, of course,
is crafting a kick-ass celery salad for the sidewalk's fashion pack. It wont be ready until an hour or so, yet, it's palatable aroma is already pulling in chic passers-by. Their crave is so palpable, it's causing their mouths to water.

Normally, David uses lots of  fresh vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts and herbs in all  his quick and easy raw foods lunches. Today is no exception.

INGREDIENTS(inexpensive and organic)  for today's kick-ass Celery Salad: celery, baby carrots, avocado, green onions, crushed peanuts, fresh parsley, cherry tomatoes, sliced ginger, fresh minced ginger,cabbage, red pepper, and zucchini

DRESSING:
oriental salad sauce and cold pressed walnut oil



                                                      LUNCH TIME

RAFA
Celery is my favourite type of salad

DAVID

Really!

RAFA
I REFUSED to date a girl because she didn't like it....celery salads

.................................................................
BRITNEY
I thought you were a Wardrobe Stylist. You cook also?

DAVID
I AM  a wardrobe stylist, but I'm NOT a cook. I am a RAW MEALS ARTISAN. I craft salads and smoothies, using raw ingredients ONLY..

BRITNEY
I don't care much for cooked ingredients in my salads at all. You are doing a kick ass job with your raw foods venture

DAVID

PASSION, not venture. Thanks. Can't go wrong with raw foods

.............................................................
SUN HO

David, does Nature Base Boutique, deliver to customers who work on the sidewalk?

DAVID

I'm afraid not. Maybe in the future.



CHAN

DAMN IT!
...............................................................

DIESEL

May I have 300 grams of mixed nuts, 150 grams of dried fruits and 7 bottles of water please


Muhlach

SEVEN bottes of water?


DIESEL

I drink LOTS of water. It's almost the first thing I do before I go walk the sidewalk.


DAVID

Congrats. You can't go wrong with LOTS of water.

................................................................................

SELENA

People who eat a whole lot of vegetabes and fruits, can't build muscles. You need protein in your diet


DAVID

WHAT! For your information, a WHOLE lot of proteins can be found in beans, vegetables, nuts, seeds..Why are you so vegetable and fruit averse? Bear in mind, in comparison, you are unlikely to find toxins in raw fruits and vegetables...A nature based lifestyle is the way FORWARD


UPTON

Never mind the detractors, sidewalk playboy. If you are being attacked it simply means that you are doing the right thing. You are succeeding, not them...I have eat raw foods regularly and have no plans on stopping.


SHARUKH

No wonder your sidewalk pictures are so encouraging to look at. Not to mention your energy levels - they are INSANE


UPTON

Thanks. I can't ever see mysef living any other way. This nature-based lifestyle ROCKS!

....................................................

LE Spice Boy

I LOVE raw foods. Thanks for making this sweet raw salad. I'llbe back. I woudn't want to miss out on your daily raw treats


DAVID

Sorrry, you will have to miss out on the days when I attend both fashion and fashionable events. These events are VERY important to my sidewalk life also. Later, I'll be at the Royal Air Force museum's 70th anniversary of the Dambusters raid, dressed up in wartime outfit, of course. Just checking out bombs. other war artefacts, and, last but not the pilots' bad-ass uniforms.......


Edyta
(teases)

.......I can see why they call you the 'sidewalk payboy'....AND...you are such a show-off.

tastefully stunning Dandelion leaves salad

EVERY DAY, raw salads artisan, Chris, aka the sidewalk playboy, crafts LOVELY, raw salads and raw smoothies that makes the sidewalk diaspora, HUNGRY - before lunch, even those who claim to have an aversion to raw foods. Today will be no exception. That's delicious!

[PEDESTRIAN REMONSTRATES WITH MOTORIST WHO BREAKS SHARPLY AT TRAFFIC LIGHT,(Chris feels entertained)]

Dandelion season is here. In a few weeks, they will disappear until next year. The leaves are great for salads. Dandelion greens are good for your health and well-being.  They cleanse the liver, blood and kidneys. They are packed with minerals and vitamins, just what our bodies need.

[A GROUP OF RANDOM MEN ARE DOING PUSH UPS, BENDING AND SQUATTING ON THE SIDEWALK]


The sidewalk diaspora will get the OPPORTUNITY to taste raw dandelion salads today. Donning an impeccably stylish outfit, Chris is crafting a very tasty dandelion leaves salad . Yummy. He made sure to pick the leaves on the sidewalk, while they were young; before they start to flower.  The young leaves are a lot, LESS bitter than their old counterparts. Exclude the stems; they're can be bitter.

[SLEET PELTS THE SIDEWALK. THE SOUND AND SIGHT ARE BOTH RELAXING]



The sidewalk playboy, Chris, mixes Dandelion leaves, dandelion flowers(it's adviseable to use flowers sparingly) sweet red pepper, cucumbers, pecans, rose hips,(lots of vitamin C)sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, collard greens, tomatoes, beets, fresh parsley, spinach, mustard, turnip greens, white onions, leeks and spinach (packed with iron)

Chris properly RINSED, all the above ingredients, to get rid of dirt and, er, ubiquitous creatures. TOADS, anyone?


For the dressing, Chris mixes, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, raw honey, black pepper, rock salts. Then he pours mixture over the large bowl of mixed vegetables and seeds. Places bowl in fridge to marinate for a few hours.



(LATER - First passers-by have their say)



MARGARET

people actually eat RAW dandelion leaves? Yuck. It's too bitter for me....Disgusting!

DAVID

they are supposed to be very good for your liver. This salad is quite delicious, ACTUALLY.

CHRIS
They ARE good for your liver...It's not bitter, because I picked the blooms BEFORE they bloomed.

MARGARET
So what part of the dandelion plant do you use, Chris


Just the leaves

DAVID
Okay then. Not bad. Not bad at all. the leaves tastes good in desserts.

CHRIS
Oh, I used a handful dandelion flowers also

MARGARET
The FLOWERS? Yuck! You make some strange salads, Chris...That must be bitter as hell. I've eaten them....cooked. Raw dandelion leaves, and especially, the flowers, are bitter. I don't think I'd enjoy the RAW TASTES


[SPRINKLED SIDEWALK RELEASE AN AMAZING AROMA]

CHRIS
It's not bitter AT ALL. The other ingredients give the salad a beautiful flavor...Dandelion greens are low in calories and packed with fibre. Just saying


I don't care


CHRIS

If you try this raw dandelion salad, I guarantee, it will become your ultimate weakness.

Yummy kale smoothie

THOUSANDS more passers-by will be jumping on the raw foods band wagon. At the Sidewalk Raw Foods Restaurant, a smarty dressed Abraham, aka the sidewalk playboy, is crafting a very healthy, organic smoothie. YUMMY! On this warm, sunny day, everyone will be drooling over it.

[in the distance, a drunkard urinates on the sidewalk in broad day light, in full view of everyone, GROSS]
APRIL
Any pastries on the menu?

ABRAHAM
Sorry. Not healthy enough. We have YUMMY kale chips though.


[Two kids riding bikes in opposite directions on the sidewalk, collide into each other, argue vehemently]

ABRAHAM

If those kids were WALKING on the sidewak, they would'nt crash into each other..

[April rushes into the kitchen, rants and shouts profanities.]

APRIL
How dare you replace the lovely pastries with BORING, tasteless, raw foods.

Abraham
HOW DARE YOU!....
Life is hard...get over it. There is no heat in this kitchen.

APRIL
Whatever!

Abraham
If you can't stand the lack of heat in this kitchen, GET OUT!

APRIL
I have your birthday present, so you better speak to me BETTER.

Abraham
What is it?

APRIL
(burst into laughter)

A bottle of FERMENTED cod liver oil, of course.
......................................................................
Needless to say, Abraham is using only real, fresh, raw foods for the kale smoothie - ripe bananas, almond milk, soy milk, Apple, peanut butter, cranberries, cinnamon, carrot, mango, cacao, goji berries, avocado,  strawberry, LOTS of kale, lemon, orange and pineapple juices, oh, and  tangerine mineral water.

It takes an hour or so to prepare the smoothie.  He simply throws these good stuffs in the blender. The result - a lush, bad-ass smoothie. It tastes really good. The whole sidewalk is gonna fall in love with it.
Here's to a happier sidewalk. Cheers
