The toys..the gadgets..the fun involved in this adventure! I broke out the Cuisinart today for some heavy mixing...First up? Asian Slaw (courtesy of the Raw Chef Blog)..a mix of thinly sliced veggies in this amazing almond butter/gingery sauce. So delicious! I have found so many great recipes on his site, and other sites from raw foodies in the U.K...they are on to something that we Americans haven't all figured out yet! I wonder what the difference is in our thinking patterns, I'm sure there are plenty of people here in the states doing the same thing, but the Brits are so much more accessible on the internet. A mystery for now I guess...
Item number 2? Corn chips with a chili powder and cumin seasoning. They are in the dehydrator right now, along with some sliced up sweet potato (just for kicks). More on those tomorrow..but they smell delicious already! I truly can't wait to try them..I believe my husband will have a tough time tonight if he can only smell them and not eat them (as they take about 10 hours to dehydrate). Sorry JB!
On another note, Katina seems pretty interested in this deal. I found a website (another U.K. person named Karen Knowler) that has a booklet you can download to "Go raw for a day". It contains a couple pages to fill out about how you are feeling before and after your "raw day", as well as shopping lists and recipes to cover 2 days worth...pretty basic but interesting stuff. Anyway, Katina mentioned that she is interested in trying it out..so that's exciting! We decided it will be easiest to do if we wait until school ends (which is only in a week)..maybe this won't be as difficult as I thought? She's so great about new adventures, I'll just have to keep the menu fresh and interesting!

That's it for now..going to eat some slaw and contemplate how to send fruit rolls to my brother. I'm sure they'd be fine in the mail! I might have to make another batch though, JB just told me how much he loves them, so they probably won't last long..
