6/5/08 CSA DISTRIBUTION - what I got
2008-06-07 13:41:00 This first CSA distribution was cute - they had boxes into which all of vegetables fit nicely, with no extra space — it made it look like a lot. I was volunteering, and it was very interesting to watch the first time members look inside their boxes — they all looked so excited. I, ... More About: Distribution
I?M GETTING PSYCHED - DELIVERY IS 6/5!!!
2008-05-31 05:18:00 I am thinking more and more about our first CSA distribution — now it is less than a week away. I am set to volunteer that first day (of course, I will volunteer to volunteer a couple of other times, as well– I’m that kind of person, and it is fun to see the ... More About: Delivery
MY SWEET ATTACK
2008-05-12 05:04:00 For some reason, today, I have had a sweet attack. I first searched high and low for something that would resolve it, but found nothing that seemed it would take care of the craving, until…… my eyes fell on the stack of dehydrated vegetables that remain from my winter share. There were the ... More About: Sweet , Attack
DINNER TONIGHT
2008-05-09 04:07:00 I was stuck for what to make for dinner tonight– it was my turn to prepare dinner and I hadn’t thought it out, but I stopped by the market and picked up two pretty red Roma (or maybe they were “plum” - what is the difference?) tomatoes and a “seedless” English cucumber. (I have seen ... More About: Dinner , Tonight
COOL NEW BOOK (for me): How We All Went Raw
2008-04-30 06:31:00 A couple of years back, I saw this book, HOW WE ALL WENT RAW, and I thought it looked good (that was in the time when finding raw food books was still something kind of new to me). I was on vacation in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and I really did not ... More About: Cool , Book

SAME PLAN AS LAST YEAR
2008-04-25 00:49:00 The CSA is going to start up again in the beginning of June. I am making the same commitment to myself as I did last year: I will use everything in the box. (If the farm does as much lettuce as they did last year, I will have to start liking green smoothies, whether I ... More About: Plan , Year
I?M BACK - the CSA is starting up again
2008-04-23 00:01:00 Yes, I know… I have been lazy. Without deliveries of unexpected vegetables (okay, I did learn, over the winter, to expect carrots, parsnips, and potatoes!), I did not feel like coming here. Now, HALLELUIA!!!! I have finished paying off the $722 for my summer share with fruit and 2 tomato shares. I am ... More About: Back
YUMMY DESSERTS: what?s wrong with that?
2008-03-31 03:36:00 I am of two minds when it comes to raw food desserts. On the one hand, they are so yummy, and I just want them all the time. On the other hand, they have a lot of CALORIES, which CAN make people fat. Raw food desserts are mostly in the category of ?transition foods?. I have no problem ...

MANHATTAN ORGANIC MARKETS & RAW FOOD STORES

I am not listing Whole Food s because I do not necessarily like them. Here in New York City, they have forced a lot ... More About: Markets , Organic , Manhattan , Stores
PARSNIP RECIPES

THE KITCHEN?S NIGHT OFF
2008-03-09 01:07:00 My new favorite commercial is the MasterCard “Priceless: Giving Your Kitchen the Night Off” To tell the truth, I had always wondered how my stuff always got all tangled up between when I laid things carefully in their places and when went to look for them again. If you have not seen it please do right away. ...
I AM VERY HAPPY: TABASCO IS RAW (SORT OF)
2008-03-08 02:28:00 I love Tabasco . (I’m Southern. It’s in my blood) I know, I know, many raw people have issues with anything that tastes good, is spicy, or adds flavor to food. Others have issues with vinegar. I am just not going to go there. This is America. I have been guiltily indulging my taste ... More About: Happy , Sort
LAST WINTER CSA DISTRIBUTION
2008-03-07 01:30:00 Oh, I am just a little sad. Unexpectedly (okay, so I did not check the news in the newsletter), I found out that tonight’s delivery was the last of the Winter distribution... I certainly will miss the friendly atmosphere of this distribution, which, in a large part, if not entirely, has been due to ... More About: Distribution

MY CROP FAILED!!!
2008-03-06 05:03:00 I was very disappointed to realize today that my entire crop of wheat sprouts (two separate jars each with 1/2 C wheat berries) had failed. I had dutifully soaked the wheat for 12 hours and then faithfully rinsed it twice daily. I wondered, on the second day of sprouting why I did not see any ... More About: Crop
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH POTATOES?
2008-03-04 00:27:00 POTATOES!!! What to do with them??? I keep getting potatoes my CSA box, and I am still clueless as to what to do with them ? I usually give them to Mrs. Murphy, next door.

REJUVELAC NOTES
2008-03-01 03:00:00 I have never said anything about the taste of rejuvelac. Most authorities say it has a lemonade taste. Okay. Maybe it does. I have just made up a big batch of rejuvelac (my first time to make a whole gallon at a time– I bought a gallon jar this week). It tastes right, i.e., I am not ... More About: Notes

WHAT I MADE TONIGHT
2008-02-26 04:00:00 I did not have much in the way of fresh food (like NONE) in the house tonight, owing to the fact that, until Thursday, I expected to be on the Master Cleanse for another 3 - 4 weeks. Still, I was responsible for making a dinner that my SAD diet room-mate would gladly eat. ... More About: Made , Tonight
BREAKING MY MASTER CLEANSE
2008-02-26 03:32:00 I had to break my Master Cleanse fast at day 15 (I had planned to go on for 40 days, and I was doing well), because of a “family” problem: I realized that my room-mate had not been eating (real food) during the time that I was fasting. The realization came slowly…. one day I ... More About: Breaking
MASTER CLEANSE ISSUES: You wouldn?t expect these!!!

GOTCHA!!!! What about my CSA share while I?m on the Master Cleanse?
2008-02-19 03:02:00 No, you won’t catch me sleeping (at least, not for long!) When I started my Master Cleanse , I immediately worried about what to do with all the carrots, beets, turnips, rutabagas, radishes, garlic, celeriac, apples, and potatoes I was going to get on Thursday. I did not worry long… I gave half of my potatoes to ... More About: Share , The Master
MY NEW BOOK: Charlie Trotter?s Raw
2008-02-15 04:56:00 I’ve just gotten a copy of Raw by Charlie Trotter. I am truly excited. I was curious, after I read Raw Food/Real World by Matthew Kenney and Sarma Melngailis, which had fantastic sounding recipes, but did not tempt me to make anything (everything sounded to me like I would need a personal chef) Raw, on ...

MASTER CLEANSER: reasons people fail
2008-02-12 06:09:00 I’m thinking a lot about Master Cleanser right now (duh!) The first time I did a Master Cleanse, it was all by myself. Nobody had any misgivings, and nobody had to quit. I just went on and on until I stopped (I forgot to read that the Master Cleanse can be done up to ... More About: People , Reasons , Master Cleanser
MASTER CLEANSER NOW: happy again
2008-02-12 04:24:00 I have broken my Juice Feast and started a Master Cleanser . I had already figured out that, if you try something, and it just doesn?t agree with you, you should probably stop it. I do slog on for a bit, just to make sure I cannot get used to whatever it is, but there comes ... More About: Happy , Master Cleanser

DO YOU LIKE PINA COLADA?
2008-02-06 02:26:00 I now know how much coconut meat (on average) is in a young coconut. I made two pina coladas — one this morning, and one this evening, and the coconut is now history. Since I put 1 C of coconut in each pina colada, my elementary math skills lead me to the conclusion that there ... More About: Vita , Colada
