I’m so happy to see there are people from Portland on here!
I have been to the Blossoming Lotus, I’m actually going to have my family birthday dinner there on Thursday. Although my family does not eat raw they are supportive and are looking forward to trying out the yummy food I always talk about. I haven’t been to the Yummy Tummy but I just read about it today, sounds like it’s take out only? I think that’s too far for me to run in and take out.
Jellibi – I would be interested in going to a co-op but I’ve never been before, how are the prices?
I’m not a student but I do work full time in Clackamas which is even closer to you. I think it would be great if you and your husband opened a raw-friendly cafe, how about tomorrow? LOL!
Blossoming Lotus has live marinara pasta that was on special a while ago and just recently added it to their menu, I don’t believe it has cashews in it but you may want to call and check if you’re interested.
heartshapedsky – I would love to hear more about the meet ups, where are they normally? I think doing our own meet up would be great.
I also live in Portland and was one of the chefs for the Raw Spirit this year. Yummy Tummy is only take out right now (i used to be there chef before Julia Corbett) but I think they are building a food cart with outdoor tables. my favorite places to get raw food are Blossoming Lotus (where i work now) and hungry tiger too, and the red and black. the last two are not raw places (red and black is vegan) but both will make you kick ass salads that are all uncooked upon request. Victoria Buentenko talks about in one of her books making a restaurant card about your food choice to give to the waiter to show the chef. I think that this works at most restaurants without having to miss out going to eat with friends. jellibi i am student at PSU also, what do you study?
Can one of you tell me about the Raw Spirit Fest? Where is the Raw Spirit Fest and what is there?
heartshapedsky – Thanks for posting that link, I’m going to check it out. I need to start working out more. I love to ride my bike, never ride it seriously but I find it to be a lot of fun and a good work out. I’m not much of a runner but I’m going to start running with a friend. I am a water aerobics instructor and teach various days through the week but mostly just Thursday nights. What kind of exercise do you do and how often?
circleakitchen – How do you like working at the Blossoming Lotus? Since you are one of the chefs I must tell you that I love the food, keep up the good work! Do you happen to know if they are planning on having more raw options in the future?
tunacupcakes – That doesn’t sound kooky at all. I think that everyone feels a sense of support knowing there are others around with the same lifestyle. I know I do at least. That is part of the reason I started this thread. To find out how people live their raw lives around here and just to know it I’m the only one or not.
For Clackamas we say clackamyass, silly I know, just another one of those things.
