Always coming and always going, yet always right here. Joined this site a year ago while I was living and working in Japan, but have since returned to the States...my heart and energy now go into dancing and drumming with the Kissidugu West African percussion and dance troupe in Boulder. The rest of the time I work for a spice shop (if you need cacao nibs or Celtic salt, I've got the hookup!)

Hi! I don't know if I can make it sunday. I have to work at 1:00 :( Your sea weed salad was so amazing! I'd love the recipe, even if I have to make it with non-Japanese sea weed.
Hi Leilacita,
I have lost your message about coming to Tokyo, but I think you said you were going to be passing through for a few days, and that you were looking for a place to crash. You are welcome to stay here, but I warn you that I live in a dorm and my room is a 6 mat room. If you don't mind squeezing in, you are welcome to stay a few nights. I even have an extra futon.
Hello, Leilacita!
I read your message to Raw Japan. I wish I could give you a couch but my place is too tiny. I'm sure you will be able to find some place to crush in, though. There is a hostel in Yoyogi, just in case.

I like persimmons and natto!
Have a fun trip to Nikko!

Coconut leek cilantro and lime soup
Might have a coconut kefir smoothie in a hour or two
Greetings all,
I and Miss Makeda Voletta will be having an phenomenal sex education workshop/event in the beginning of this December. I hope to see all of you there. If you are unable to attend, please spread the word to family, friends and others...
I distinctly remember feeling the exact way. I had the Nesco dehydrator before, and it stunk (it didn't work well). LOL The Nesco dehydrator is made in a circular shape and it would take doubly long to dehydrate, and food was often very moist/chew...
I think the green is more "leafy" tasting (which I don't mind) but doesn't have the same long-lasting aftertase that the white does. I love the Wisdom of the Ancients green stevia liquid. I've finally made friends with stevia, LOL! I get it from V...
What is a safe mattress that you recommend?
I'm looking for:
~no off-gassing
~no springs (because they can conduct EMF/EMR waves)
So, far I've been looking into:
