um it's sort of without measurements. . . usually in the bottom of the wooden salad bowl, i mix a spoonful of miso, a handful of (fresh if possible, dried if not) dill- which the smell of makes me SO happy- and either a splash of carrot juice or some shredded carrots. . . often a dash of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, and some water. . . mixed together until creamy dressing consistency, then I massage salad greens, seaweeds, raisins, etc. into the mix. . . .
now my mouth is watering!

Happy/annoyed

I've got a bladder infection, so I'm annoyed: I hate being on antibiotics. They really mess up my stomach, and I hate how long it takes to get back to normal again. And, I've now got to go and buy extra acidophilus to compensate for the loss. So, expensive, ouchy and blah.

I'm happy, though, because my blood pressure's been AWESOME since I started eating mostly vegan/raw: it was 110/62! Last year, it was 139/90. Yay!!!

More later, it's busy around here.

A grueling week at work

...of hours and hours of overtime, surrounded by people eating pizza, General Tso's chicken, and sandwiches the size of your arm. I've begun to notice a subtle change in my energy level,but what's interesting is that others noticed it. They can tell I'm not as tired as them, and I'm still zipping around, after many hours of zipping have burned some of the others out.

I've slipped a little: the extra cup of coffee here or there, but when you're at the office for 12-13 hours straight,not… Continue

Dinner with the family

I had a semi-raw dinner, in the cause of family unity...you know how it goes. They all had beef & pepper fajitas and I had raw red pepper, avocado, jalapeno, and a smear of refried beans (because I cannot resist homemade vegetarian refried beans, period. Cannot. Do. It.), some cooked dandelion greens (because I cannot eat them raw, come hell or high water), and of course, a whole wheat tortilla.
Ah, the tortilla: I've still got some non-yeast breads in my diet, and I'm not sure if… Continue

On raw food choices and cancer

The most amazing thing about changing my diet to vegetarian/vegan/mostly raw (I'm still transitioning) is how drastic a measure many people think it to be. By people, I mean people I work with, people who know that I've had cancer twice. I guess I'm surprised that people can only see the cancer treatment continuum as a series of things that are done TO you, not things that you do for yourself, to help fight.

Food is a very confusing thing in our society. Advertisers & manufacturers… Continue

Thank you guys for the advice! Freelee, i have learned about food combining before, I guess I was just hoping that in the raw environment it would be different. But it's ok! I just want to feel good.
