  • Just checked my 32 ounce container. Yes, there is a very thin line as you describe. I can "feel" it when I run my fingernail over it on the outside. But I don't notice it when I run my fingernail over the corresponding area on the inside of the cara…
    in Vitamix 32 oz container question Comment by emtpdmom
  • Hooray for our VitaMixers. I even travel with mine (base and 32 ounce carafe). It's a little cumbersome, but so worth it -- and so far my family has been very accommodating. I can't imagine life without it .
    in Finally the vitamix! Juice suggestions? Comment by emtpdmom
  • Most smoothie recipes call for some frozen ingredient to give the thicker consistency. I use all unfrozen ingredients when I want a more juice like consistency, sometimes with a little water or fresh citrus juice added so it's not so thick. (The onl…
    in Finally the vitamix! Juice suggestions? Comment by emtpdmom
  • I'm glad the mystery is solved. That's one of the things I really like about this community -- others are always willing to jump in and help solve mysteries. PS: There are no stupid questions. I always tell my students the only stupid question is th…
    in This may be a stupid Q... (Vitamix3600 content) Comment by emtpdmom
  • I still think it's the tamper. Completely assemble the VitaMix. Then put the long end of the "stick" down into the carafe from the opening in the top. My guess is that it will not reach all the way to the blades. The cross piece at the top of the st…
    in This may be a stupid Q... (Vitamix3600 content) Comment by emtpdmom
  • I recently purchased a 5200. It came with a tamper (plastic). It's designed so you can tamp down the contents as the VitaMix is running, without danger of getting in the moving blades. Click here for a picture of the tamper -- in front of the VitaMi…
    in This may be a stupid Q... (Vitamix3600 content) Comment by emtpdmom
  • wanna B raw, what are the chances that your husband and children would help out with the preparation? Maybe you can make food prep time a family affair. Also, are you blending the two eating styles so they eat some raw? With your current schedule I …
    in Any Raw School Teachers? Comment by emtpdmom
  • I also eat in front of my students, usually nuts or seeds, sometimes fruit or a smoothie. Classes are small (10 to 12 students) so I normally offer to share nuts or seeds with them. I always warn new students that the nuts are raw and unsalted. Some…
    in Any Raw School Teachers? Comment by emtpdmom
  • I teach in an alternative school -- leave for school about 7:30 -- lunch at 1 PM -- home about 5 PM (sometimes later). Here's a typical day for me: MORNING -- two big glasses of water. 20 to 30 ounce fresh fruit smoothie with contents of 2 psyllium …

  • Do you have a small ice chest or insulated lunch box? Is there an ice machine in the building? If so, make a couple of smoothies in the evening, store them in glass and ice them down for the next morning. My favorite storage container is an Arizona …

    in Nut Butters Comment by emtpdmom
  • I've read several places that adding a bit of liquid (usually an oil) makes it creamier and easier on the food processor. This thread has a variety of reasonable suggestions. You also need to be careful that the butter doesn't overheat and become le…

  • When looking for advice, one of the first things I notice is the "Joined" date under a members avatar. Winona is among those I consider "seasoned" in the journey. I would add a couple of people to her list of on-site sages: Meditating's posts reflec…

    in Learning to Like Greens? (And detox question) Comment by emtpdmom
  • I have pretty short hair (about 4 inches at the longest). I'm a high school teacher, so needed to detox my hair when students wouldn't notice. I did what I thought would just be a trial run over Christmas break . . . baking soda or just water . . . …

  • Blue Eyes, here's the link to Site Use Tips and Hints, in case you haven't come across it before. It's not an all inclusive list, but is at least a starting point. So far, my favorite are the Advanced Search features. Please add to the list as you d…

    in NEW Juliano footage... Comment by emtpdmom
  • Chris, it's great to see you online. Haven't heard too much from you and your lovely wife lately. How's the prospective move coming? I'm really hoping you come to the East Coast, and continue to host your famous raw potlucks. I'm in Georgia, but fre…
    in NEW Juliano footage... Comment by emtpdmom
  • I've had the same issue, but with a total of 3 forums (Food Preparation, Being Raw, and Other Stuff). I used the Feedback link to let them know, but maybe a list of members who are having this problem all on this thread would be more helpful. I've t…

  • Anabrese could you be a little more specific about where to click on the treeoflife site. I must be having a senior moment. I can't find it anywhere. Thanks, Brenda (soon to be 63)

  • Kevin, it's interesting that you chose to poke fun at someone on a christian thread (http://www.goneraw.com/node/6629?page=11 see reply #346), but take offense to someone poking fun at you here. I personally would prefer that we simply respect each …

  • I assume the dehydrator is sitting on a hard surface like a table. Does it have "feet"? If so, can you put carpet scraps or carpet-like coasters under the feet. Maybe even the rubber "things" like we use to protect carpet from heavy pieces of furnit…
