• thanks everyone! i got the new HP3A so hopefully it’s got the new jug on it. my mom has a kitchenaid blender with a heavy base and a glass jug that can’t blend a strawberry for it’s life but it weighs a ton and she keeps telling me how much better a…

• Raw_Chocoholic: there was something a little strange about her but i think it has to be more of a storyline kick than that. it would be funny though if her cylon husband killed her and she was a cylon. i think when we find out (when will that be!) i…

• newbie: it can’t be cara thrace because it’s too obvious. we were thinking maybe one of the adamas, just for the sensationalism of it, or roslin. we don’t get the new dr who in Canada that i’ve seen, so no opinion on that yet. we used to be really i…

• i find that i’m just as sensitive to missing my main medication as i was prior to going about 75% raw. however, i have been able to come off all my other medications, which is nice. i’ve been on this med for a few years now and it’s made it possible…

• i’m wearing mine for the second cycle and i’m definitely getting more comfortable with it. i have a very light flow (barely 1/3 full after 12 hours) so i like only having to deal with it twice a day. it’s a little messy getting out because the flow …

• i have found that the only way to overcome this is to cob and freeze the corn and defrost it when needed, or just to use organic frozen corn. for some reason this takes out the bitterness for me (after ruining a few batches of corn chips).

• i second kminty3 and bitt. the most popular ways i use it are in a dressing over kelp noodles (with some chilies, soy sauce, raw sesame oil and vinegar) or as a dressing for the goddess kale chips. i loves kale chips!!

  in Tahini....?? Comment by lalala
• it could be an infection or the start of allergy season. being 100% raw could make you more sensitive to environmental allergens. i know how you feel about being useless. i finally sucked it up and got some beautiful, comfortable, outrageously expen…

• i don’t mind my nesco american harvest. it does what it’s supposed to do, but needs a bit more fiddling with shapes than the excaliber. i am just starting out and didn’t know how much i would really use it so it works for me. after 6 months, i don’t…

• i binged last night too. damn 4:20!! i smoked pot (trying to quit right now) and ate a whole bag of fritos and some chocolate cake. because i’m gluten intolerant i’m having a fibromyalgia flare today and barely made it in to work. i also feel like i…

• blanching for peanuts is the removal of the skin. it could mean that the brown skin was removed without using heat, or using chemicals, or it could mean that it was blanched but not roasted. there’s no real labeling restrictions on raw food.

• i use body shop makeup most of the time. some of the stuff i have is perscriptives and laura mercier but i’m not ready to give it up yet. as long as they don’t test on animals i’m usually ok with it.

• I just finished this book and loved it: http://www.organicconsumers.org/Organic/lappebo… in terms of other non-fiction – anything by Michael Pollan (omnivore’s dilemma, in defense of food), “it’s the crude dude” was good too. fiction – i second eat,…

• do NOT get a kitchenaid. after many a bad morning chewing the spinach in my smoothie (not a great breakfast food!), i have finally decided to invest in a blendtec. i am counting the minutes until it gets here.

• depending on where you get your oat groats, you could be having a gluten intolerance reaction. i think it depends on how the oats are processed. i know my gluten intolerance got much more pronounced once i went high raw because everything else i ate…
