• I've been excitedly looking forward to it, myself, but ...well, frankly, I'm beginning to feel they are not on the ball....which makes me wonder, will it even be worthwhile? That's a lot of money for a weekend, if it's not going to be much there!!

• Well, I have written them on June 8th, and on July 6th. I have yet to hear anything. I also do not see that they have updated anything on the site (as was stated they would by the end of what is now *last* month.) Do they even want folks to attend??…

• Unfortunately, I wrote them the day I started this thread, and I have yet to hear back from them. :~(

• I think this is the first year to have one on the east coast, so I am not sure about next year. I'm going to guess it will have a lot to do with turn-out this year.

• I am also wondering if it is worth it. May just go for one day. Unfortunately, there is no program schedule online for the DC one, just the CA one. It's shorter than the one on the west coast. I would like to find out who will be there, and when!

• Ohh, I love chard in smoothies! It's been looking poorly around here, so I haven't had any in a while. I am envious! It's good torn in small size pieces mixed in with other salad greens, too. The stems are good chopped up and in where ever you would…

• I have a Black and Decker that is over 20 years old. (sorry, have no idea the model- but I seem to recall it might be called a "short-cut".) It's been used *a lot*, until the past year or so. I found a small itty bitty thing that I use way more ofte…

• Ohh, mustard greens are gross! I don't care what you do to them, they are just gross!!! lol. As for me liking sweet stuff: Sure! I eat raw honey off a spoon, sometimes daily! Funny the difference in taste buds- I hardly taste the chard in a smoothie…

• joannabanana~ I use parsley in my smoothies- and hardly notice any flavor from it at all. Spinach, however, is waaaay too sweet for me, in a smoothie! (I do like it in salads, though.) I feel the spinach overpowers the fruit, and I would rather tast…

• nancyk70~ "that one is Moooo." ROFL! How adorable! achin70~ Am I correct in understanding that you are saying that high fruit eaters would therefor age faster? (Fructose is in all fruits, yes?) I can't say that's what I've seen, when I look at folks…

• Thanks Debs60 & lulushka8 for the compliments! :~) Yep, it wasn't that out of the ordinary for folks to guess me way younger, but recently the eyes have given me away... alas. I'll be 46 this year. The bf recently saw a pic of me at 25, and gues…

• I am experiencing lines at the corner of my eyes. Up until recently, folks guessed me in my 20's. I don't think it has anything to do with my raw intake, though. I'd say it has everything to do with the fact that we are in our upper 40's. Shhhhhhhhh…

• "On dehydrating nuts - soak then dehydrate? If taken with plenty of water will this be ok? Better than just raw nuts?" I am on the fence on that one. Yes, soaking nuts is better, as it destroys the enzyme inhibitors. I have questions about dehydrati…

  in Green Smoothie Fruit Leather?? Comment by pixx
• I'm not so sure putting it "in water to reconstitute" would give you the consistency you would want. But I have never heard of reconstituting a fruit leather, so that's new to me. I'm thinking *making* the leather would indeed work, but I would eat …

• Sorry, no I haven't posted it. And no, I have no "proportions"-- ack! I don't typically cook that way. I just futz around, taste as I go. That above really is the full "recipe". Next time I make it, I'll try to pay more attention, and add it to the …

• lulushka8 reposting, in case you missed it above- I would love to know more about the "amazing recipe for chocolate b-day cake using pecans, dates and banana" that you mentioned. Could you direct me to it online, or possibly share it here? You've go…

• My only thought is, that's a lot of agave to be eating on a daily basis. Bear in mind it is a processed sugar, void of any fiber. I would suggest substituting the agave for a banana. I have made pudding & key lime pie from that (one banana, one …

• Well, I put it through babelfish, to be able to read it. It does mention heating it, but not to what temperature. I doubt that it's considered truly "raw". "The cultivation of the sugar cane demands much labor. The cutter separates the stem from the…

• I can vouch for the dehydration comments, as well! When I read your question, that was my first thought. I get horrible headaches occasionally, and have come to realize that I haven't drank much water in the days preceding. If I sit down, relax, and…

• I've tried Dr Bronners on my hair (use it around the house some, and from time to time dishes, laundry etc) but have found Dr Woods with Shea butter does MUCH better for my hair. It's similar to Bronners, in that it is a castile soap. I like ALL Fre…

• Lovin' the advice you've gotten so far...so ditto! Also, I have noticed that if I get it out of my head, and into my body, I get past the bad cravings. In other words- Brownies are a great example! I used to adore chocolate - chocoholic in fact!- an…
