• How about guacamole? It’s not exactly Irish food, but it’s green. The cucumber treats recipe that was posted here recently looks yummy and fresh, too… cukes with a nut pate and sprouts. Both of those ideas would probably require an ice chest for tra…

• Long journey for me… I initially went vegetarian after my son was born (ten years ago) because I wanted to lose weight. I had, shall we say, ballooned considerably during the pregnancy. Ben & Jerry’s will do that to you ;o). I did lose about 50 …

• I’ve just discovered golden beets, and they’re wonderful grated into a salad. I’ve always loved beets, but avoided the red ones because of the mess they make, so this find was a real score! :o) Spaghetti squash is really good raw in salads, too. I h…

• Big, fat chocolate-chip cookies from the Safeway bakery. Oh jeez. They are evil. Besides the fact that they’re cooked, I can’t even imagine how much fat and calories is in one of those things. Oh, and Cheezits. More evilness.

• heathermarsbomb and ardesmond… 29 and 30, respectively, is not old! At least, I refuse to believe so… being 37 myself… ;o) Our metabolisms do slow down as we age, though, sad fact. Excercise helps a lot.

• Well, for purely selfish (and cost saving) reasons, I’d vote California. Like San Francisco, maybe. But Arizona or Utah would be pretty sweet, too. I’ve never been to the desert and have been dreaming about it lately. Actually, I might be getting th…

• I like my tattoos. I have 3, planning on two more. The 3 I have now symbolize earth, air and water, and then I still need to find one I really like for fire, and I have a celtic zoomorphic griffin picked out, because my son’s name is Griffin. Then I…

• One thing I’ve heard is that you don’t want to consume the same KIND of greens on a constant basis… something about building up a toxicity from it, I think. It was a passing comment in a presentation I saw Sergei Boutenko give recently, and I didn’t…

• Right on, thanks! You’ve given me some good starting points already. :o) I think we’re looking at early February. Not even gonna try to get away before then, with the holidays coming up.

• I’ve known about harvesting and eating acorns since I was a kid, but I’ve never done it. They were a staple for many Native Americans. You can’t eat them raw, though, because of the bitter tannins. Here’s a little more info I found online: http://ww…

• Yeah, willmize! Long live the dorks! I’m such a goof most of the time, and pretty proud of it. I keep myself entertained, anyway. ;o) I think the best thing to hit television evereverever (since the original Star Trek, I mean) has to be Battlestar G…

• Haa… deegarry, I just HAD to check out something with a title as intriguing as “Skinny Bitch,” so I went to Amazon and read an excerpt. Loved it and ordered it on the spot! I can’t wait until it gets here. ;o) Jen (about 50% raw lately, intuitively …

• Yay! This is beautiful. :o) And while I feel sad when I hear that other people get down on themselves and it makes me want to say, “Be kind to yourself!”... it’s also very reassuring because I do it to myself, too. That’s one thing I’m really strivi…

• Henna’s fun. It’s like plastering your head with grainy mud. Hehe… it stains though (skin, clothing, etc.) so be careful about splats. When I was in high school I bleached my hair to within an inch of its life, and then hennaed it, and then I had ho…

• Hi Kundalalita. Cravings can be so weird! The strangest thing I’ve encountered is having really strong urges to grab handfuls of vegetation and eat them, like when I’m out walking or in the woods. Ferns look especially yummy to me, guess it’s the vi…

• Hi Tessa! Hey, at 80% raw you ARE detoxing. Slowly. Which is why you’re just feeling so-so, I would guess. I’ve been around 80% for a few months now, keep flip-flopping, going back to cooked foods (I was vegan for about a year before that). It’s bee…
