• Beany, I would love to make homemade raisins. How long did you leave the raisins in the dehydrator?

• emtpdmom, thanks for the explanation. I think that taking the food out immediately would probably eliminate most polycarbonate leakage. Considering that I almost burned out my cuisinart making hummus the other day, I think a high power blender is in…

  in VitaMix blenders... worth it? Comment by Mon46
• Both Blendtec and Vitamix have polycarbonate carafes. That concerns me a bit, particularly at those prices. Does anyone know of a high powered blender with a glass carafe?

• Lymphatic drainage makes a lot of sense to me re: PMT. I am a Polarity Therapy practitioner, which is an energetic bodywork system based on Ayurvedic principles. In Ayurveda, there are 5 primary energies (or elements) inc. ether, air, fire, water an…

• I just want to add another voice of support. I too have a history of eating disorders, and although I’ve been healthy for a quite some time, I still feel its shadow. I fully agree that getting professional help and support is very important, and you…

• Sweet Pea, which nights of the week are the least crowded at Quintessence. I know that weekends are almost impossible. We live across town, and I don’t want to walk all the way over only to find there is a 45 minute wait. I know some people are mell…

• Dagny Taggert, you gave me a good laugh when I read your post today. I’m with you sista (don’t know if you’ve read some of my posts re: the topic you brought up, but they are quite similar to yours). However, I also recognize that I still want to go…

• Joyce, here’s a forum link you might find helpful www.goneraw.com/forums/7/topics/5326ul: Basically, there are “less toxic” hair dyes and henna. Apparently, Surya Henna does work on gray. Anyway, take a look.

  in Safe Natural Hair Dye for Grays Comment by Mon46
• Thank you, Carmentina. I’ll absolutely use that as a reference. Lately, I’ve whittled down the skin care to using a Desert Essence “organic” cleanser (I know, there are still some chemicals in there, which is why I can’t wait to make my own) and pur…

• You’re not reading, shgadwa. I never posted on the other forum. And I’m certainly done contributing fuel to this fire.

• Alix1962, you nailed the obnoxiousness of all this bible thumping right on the head. It is AGGRESSIVE, and just feels like religious SPAM. shgadwa, sorry, but you have no right to tell Alix or anyone else not to read these posts. This is a public fo…

• Thank you, pulse. I have no idea how Kandace and Ray feel, and was just stating my opinion. I appreciate you listening.

  in The Condition of Our Soul Comment by Mon46
• Like elizabethh, I have no problem with people stating their spiritual and religious beliefs in the PROPER VENUE. Yes, of course, being raw has a spiritual component for many, but folks. there are other forums better suited to this kind of discussio…

• I second that emotion. Dagny Taggert is a woman who calls it as she sees it. :)

• Hey bitt, it was because of your post that I signed up for freecycle. Haven’t participated yet, but I will. nycgrrl, I did sign up for giveittomeraw, and am just waiting for “approval”.

• Actually, nycgrrl, I forgot about coops. There used to be 1 on 4th Street in the east village. If it’s still there, it might be an option. I’m not sure the Park Slope coop will accept anyone from another borough.

• nycgrrl, I’m near Union Square. I actually don’t know if the sales are the same throughout the city; guess we could ask at the info counter at our perspective stores. What ‘hood do you live in?

  in Man, this raw foods diet is expensive... Comment by Mon46
• nycgrrl, here’s an idea. I would be happy to email you if I happen upon any bargains at WF or in the greenmarket, as I live right near Union Square. That might save you some money on the ‘ol metrocard. Anyway, my email is mlowy@bodylinkspeechtherapy…

  in Man, this raw foods diet is expensive... Comment by Mon46
• Vegfean, I think it depends with the amounts of fruit and veg people eat. I know with 811 it is a lot. I also think it really depends on where you live. And btw, queenfluff, good shout out about Steve Brill. I recently posted about the dangers of fo…

• Organic peaches run on average $3.99 here in NYC, and believe it or not are even more expensive at the greenmarket. It’s difficult to stay on a budget and can be a little frustrating. shgadwa, be happy you live in a place where organic produce is ch…

  in Man, this raw foods diet is expensive... Comment by Mon46
• Oh yes, forgot to mention Trader Joe’s. Not always the biggest selection of produce, but certainly good prices. But I’m sure you knew that already!

  in Man, this raw foods diet is expensive... Comment by Mon46
• nycgrrl, you DO have my sympathy. As a fellow New Yorker, I feel your pain. Although I don’t follow 811, I eat a ton of fruit and vegetables. I think it’s a matter of bargain shopping when you can. For example, sometimes WF does have incredible mark…

• nycgrrl, I check into that website occasionally, but have never used it to send messages. Great idea! I have to go back to work now, but I’ll def. do it later.

• RKC, I’ve also turned to nutritional yeast since basically eliminating nuts. I know it’s not raw, but I love it. It tastes great and is highly nutritious. nycgrrl, I often fall into the same predicament with my hubby (who isn’t raw or even vegan). H…

• heather, you may want to add a little more liquid to your recipes. Although I not longer eat nuts, I do occasionally eat sunflower seeds and make sunflower cheese. When I make the cheese, I add a just a little water at a time to make sure I don’t ge…

• Yes, I just reread the link and this is very good news. Perhaps the formaldehyde rumor was just an urban coconut legend? :)

  in Safety of young coconuts Comment by Mon46
• Wow Winona, thanks. Just read it. I wonder how this rumor got started? Does this mean there is no chemical treatment of the coconuts?

  in Safety of young coconuts Comment by Mon46
• Thanks so much, RKC. Good to know about being able to freeze them, although I still don’t think we’d have enough room in our fridge/freezer to store them all. Do you have an extra fridge? We live in a NYC apartment, so space is kind of limited. Inte…

• lalala, you are not imagining that marzipan taste. When I used to get the Valencia almonds from Spain at Trader Joe’s, their flavor was much more intense than the pastuerized almonds we have in the States. I actually prefer that stronger flavor, but…
