• I hate to do this but… BUMP I really would like some input. There’s some really smart people here.

• Both my pastor and a therapist have told me that making changes that are supposed to be good when you’re not ready to is not good. Beating yourself up kinda negates the good. (Literally, when it comes to brain chemistry.) Ever done the rice experime…

• Chris: I have the julienne peeler. Not having experience with the spiralizer I can’t compare them, but the julienne peeler makes beautiful noodles. They’re almost like a cross breed between angelhair and fetuchinni, so think and a little flat. (Can’…

• Agree with Stylistchick. Now and then in my spookier times I smear on a little Burt’s Bees eyeliner.

• Every time I’ve read “make your own bowl” in the last few days (even though I did read the post) I keep thinking of those waffle cone bowls at Ben and Jerry’s and how could I make some sort of raw bowl? Maybe if I dehydrate a cracker recipe till it’…

• I store all my nuts in the fridge, but take out what I think I’ll be using the following day or later in the day and put it on the counter, because… well… cold nuts are a pain to blend creamy. I’ve heard the freezer is best, but I never use them whe…

• My father juices raw garlic with his juice daily for 20 years now and eats it daily cooked and he’s the healthiest man I’ve ever met. I think that maybe some people are sensitive, but not all. Maybe it’s a cultural thing or somesuch. On the other ha…

• I’m not sure about the “Let’s Do Organic” brand. I’ve heard most commercial dehydrating is at high temps. However, I use it. If I had access to raw I’d use it. As for raw coconut oil, you can get it at a co-op or health food store. Even if it’s not …

  in Where can I find the following ingredients Comment by Krystale
• This has all been awesome input. Access to an outlet is not reliable, I am told. My plans so far include some raw crackers and chips and dehydrated cookies. Soups are a brilliant idea I’d totally forgotten about. I’d planned that when I signed onto …

  in Recipes for Farmers Markets Comment by Krystale
• Yes, you can. Strong flavors will mix. Garlic in something will carry to others a bit. Everything is drying out, so it’s not absorbing much anymore. Similar moisture levels though. That’s the important part. Nothing almost dry with new stuff. You ca…

• Your car will always smell good. My car smells like basil and orange peel. Just for the detail oriented a thermometer would be handy, because it can get really really hot in a car. On really hot days a black plate or pan or screen on the hood or tru…

• I think this would be awesome. I’ve contemplated this a bit myself. I once built a solar oven, but being in Vermont didn’t realise yet I needed a heat sink oven. I foil lined a medium-smallish box I had cut at an angle and put glass on top. It didn’…

• Wonderful buisness concept, but your site is too techie for me. The scrolling fruits would be less distracting if they faded in and out rather than slid. The constant animation of everything made it very hard to stay focused on what you’re really ab…

• I get Jicama at Hannafords, so even if you have one that doesn’t carry it you might be able to talk them into getting it in.

  in What's a good alternative to rice? Comment by Krystale
• Less in winter, but usually about once a month on the legs, if I remember. Happy to hear the knee socks thing, I wear knee socks a lot since about a year ago. (Yay, raw organic lolita!) My pits are very sensitive and sometimes I have to shave becaus…

• For me it’s more like that the only part that I’m NOT having trouble with is that I see it improving my life, and the number of recipies and potential combinations I havn’t explored fill my creative food obsessive compulsion.

  in Where are YOU having trouble? Comment by Krystale
• It occurs to me this is the post to ask on: Are avocados genetically modified? There’s new “Florida” avocados. I really prefer them, the second half actually keeps a night in the fridge, but I stopped buying them for fear they were GMOs. I recently …

• Achin70: Thanks! Angie: I swear I have a few raw friends who invite me around meal times just because they know I’ll bring stuff to cover me, just in case. Seeing as I love having my food praised (who doesn’t?) I share. LOL Hey, if it spreads good h…

• That’s funny Angie, because that book is sitting right next to me and it didn’t even occur to me to look. I’ll do that next. What’s really funny is it’s my friend Angie’s book, and were she online right now I’d have asked and she’d have told me to l…

• If you have to pay to learn from someone it's going to be colored by their interest in success. I took classes from a raw chef, and he spent a chunk of the time pushing supplements he sells. Supplements. Vitamin tablets. It just doesn't get too much…

• Just because it was brought up… Diverticulitis isn’t the pockets on the intestines, it’s ruptured pockets on the intestines. Diverticulosis is when it’s unruptured pockets. And believe me, you’d know if you had it. It wouldn’t just be pain when you …

• My suggestion: Cabbage. Purple is my favorite. Makes good wraps and shreads for pasta, plus it’s just plain tasty as a salad.

• Honey isn’t vegan, but bees aren’t animals. They’re insects. And, as my husband pointed out, it’s an “animal” by-product, something they made. Not like milk or eggs which come from inside the animal, although it is for the similar purpose of sustain…

  in Honey VS. Agave Nectar...what's the difference? Comment by Krystale
• Cocoa DOES contain caffine, but very little. Humanimal is right about the theobromine, but it is very closely related to caffine and produces much of the same effects at a slightly lower rate. Acutally guarana, coffee, cocoa and yerba mate, even som…

  in cocao and anxiety symptoms? Comment by Krystale
• They're the same thing. The only thing that determines the difference between raw and not is if it says Raw. And believe me, anything raw they're just dying to write Raw on so we'll pay more. Even then some people manage to get away with calling som…

  in To shampoo or not to shampoo? Comment by Krystale
• I do sales and have bangs so I wash my bangs in the sink, but not to the scalp, with Vermont castile soap. (Used to use Dr Bronners, but local, local, local when I can now.) My concern is that I don’t like dreads. Can I not wash (currently shampoo w…
