• Yum. Rawvolution. I could eat their cheezy jalapenos every day. I always wonder how they manage to ship a week’s worth of food. I’m afraid of what it would look like on day 4 or 5. How does it hold up? But if they’re pressed for time…well, DH and I …

• Public Service Announcement: I’ve recently discovered Reed avocados, which do not turn brown once cut. They are a little larger and rounder than Haas, Bacons, Fuertes, etc., and they’re very creamy.

• I do public relations for high-tech companies, and on the side, I do PR for my own clients in vegan/raw/green businesses. For now, I want to keep some of the perks that come with my “real” job, like health insurance and IRAs, but eventually my side …

• Love the stuffing ideas. You could try blending them into a soup with some cashews, garlic, tahini and lemon juice and top with cilantro. Or serve the soup in a hollowed-out pepper.

• In my experience going from SAD to Raw is awfully difficult for most people. A transition from SAD to vegan – what a dear friend who’s a PhD in nutrition calls a “Revised American Diet” or RAD – will be difficult enough for them. There are meatless …

• Along with the hummus idea, I’m also thinking various nut pates would keep well for a few days. On day one you can use it in a wrap or salad, on day two rolled in nori sheets, on day three with raw crackers. Loads of nuts and dried fruits for snacks…

• That’s exactly how I made applesauce this year. I didn’t even bother to peel them – because I was so excited to make applesauce with apples from our own teeny tree that I forgot! I don’t see why it wouldn’t freeze, but it may separate or discolor a …

• A while ago I heard an interview with V. Boutenko who said (I paraphrase) “I don’t talk about my diet unless someone is really, really, DYING to know.” I’m a little different than a lot of people here because I’ve been vegan for more than a decade, …

• I’m with Greenghost. There’s no excuse for being as rude to a customer as they were to Debbie. That’s just crazy. (Although I’ve heard that the UK and the US have very different standards of customer service/politeness.)

• Tomberlies is a little too heavy and dense for me. I think it’s the nut base versus milk(ish) base. Still, if you’re having a dinner party and want to serve a teeny scoop of ice cream on top of a raw pie…um, I’ll accept your invitation. For non-raw,…

• We're in L.A. and know lots of people (a dozen? more?) here and in San Diego who are like us - enjoy eating raw, but don't adhere to it 100% slavishly. Even one of the raw chefs we know is sometimes seen at cooked vegan restaurants around town. Actu…

• If there is a nursery in your area (not a big box hardware store, but a place where people who know gardening) they should be able to help you select edibles that do well in your area. What works for me in SoCal may not work for you and vice-versa.
