• I could see right off that the test was created by McCain supporters. I’d take a test that was from a more neutral source. I could smell a rat the first couple of minutes browsing this. This website secretcrowds posted above is advertising that book…

• I lived in Ireland for a year and I agree with Schmoopee that the 6-9 months is a fallacy. I had eyelid surgery in Ireland. My doc was amazing and top notch. The procedure was done immediately and in a reputable hospital in Galway City. I had no com…

• cranberries are in season right now and we are getting fresh organic ones in bulk from Massachusetts. I’ve been taking about 1-2 cups of cranberries, one ripe orange, a couple dates and a bit of maple syrup and throwing everything in the food proces…

• I love the Yummy Apple Cobbler recipe as well and it was a sure hit last year at Thanksgiving. It’s truly delicious and SAD eaters won’t really notice it’s raw food. Hi Carrie6292 – did you get that pumpkin cheesecake recipe I sent you? Just curious…

• I think everyone’s suggestions are really great! Personally I think it’s OK to be sad from time to time. I then appreciate the times I feel happy even more. When living in SoCal, it was sunny almost all the time. There were times we really missed th…

• Actually I might consider a savings, money market or something similar in a Vermont bank. For personal day to day checking I’d try a local credit union closer to you. You are in CT? I would imagine most small New England banks should be safe.

• thecavsman – I don’t know about anyone else here, but I sit in a cubicle 4 days a week. Retirement sounds like paradise to me: home gardening, hiking, running, doing yoga in my sunroom, making raw food, sleeping late, playing with my kitties, nappin…

• Another scary financial reality is anyone with a 401K plan hoping to retire right now. Terrible!

• Thanks for the suggestions everyone! cpagosa – actually homemade almond milk has been my best result out of all the nut milks I’ve tried. Maybe I need to add more sweetner. RawKidChef – my taste buds don’t seem to like any kind of regular milk in co…

• Just wanted to mention Ani’s pumpkin pie recipe again. I made it this past monday and I’m eating another piece of it here at work (it’s a Wed) I have to say it does taste better after a couple days! Although I wouldn’t bring this to a SAD gathering …

  in how do you make pie FIRM?? Comment by JoyceH
• For me it depends on the recipe. For raw cheesecakes, coconut oil firms them up nicely. Last night I tried Ani Phyo’s raw pumpkin pie (had a little pumpkin to use) which called for psyllium powder to make it firm and that aspect was successful. (btw…

• troubles – if it gets passed in CA, many states may follow. You’re in the midwest? Lots of feedlots out there so hopefully you’ll be voting for a similar measure in the near future.

• jeshuabrown – that’s so sad and terrible about the cows. I was talking to my husband today about this and he was telling me about the small family farm he grew up next to in rural Vermont. Those cows back then would live up to 30 years. They all had…

• For things with a high water content, I dehydrate at 145 for an hour then turn it down to 115. (seems 90-120 are temps I’ve seen in recipes)
