You can always ask a produce dept. employee at Whole Foods to cut one open so you can try it before you waste your money. It's store policy to let people sample things:)
but just becouse we were tampered with does not mean that we came from microscopic ethers. We had form, body and a brain, simple tampering was neccessary to tame wild beasts that we were then in order to domesticate us..........and to make faithfu...
"Healing With Whole Foods" by Paul Pitchford is a great veg-friendly book on Chinese food cures. Here is the spleen section on googlebooks:

That's amazing a white dress while camping! Sounds like a wonderful experience!
LOL! That is so sad but kind of funny!
I need a mango now more than ever.
This year has been the worst mango season I've ever seen :( Honey mangos were sad with light colored flesh that held little flavor...Kent mangos...don't even make me go there.
Last year was an AMAZING mango yea...
This was the one in the Santa Ynez Valley, which is near Santa Barbara. I did have a wonderful time! Met so many amazing people! I didn't volunteer though. I actually took a plane from Toronto by myself, but synchronistically met a lot of amazing ...

hey im just wondering if anyone has suggestions of names for a raw cafe. i plan on owning/starting up a cafe/restaurant in the future but i have no idea what would be a good name.
if anyone has suggestions/ random ideas please blurt them out.
LOL- yes, I meant blood vessels. I must've been typing in a hurry;) The spleen (in Chinese medicine) holds things in their place, like blood in the vessels, and organs (keeps them from prolapsing). I wonder if you had a spleen issue back when the ...

wowsers i didn't realise how multicultural russia was but i suppose i suspected it as it's a huge country and there is no way there wasn't a mix of races going on. it's funny in taiwan or india, when you say you're australian, they say things like "but you don't look australian" or when i say i'm malaysian, they say "how come you look like us?" they don't have this concept that you can be of a different race from the majority.
which part of russia did you grow up in, then?
i'm chinese through and through, apparently! haha but i was born in malaysia (i'm third generation) and when i was 12 went to australia for boarding school, university and then i worked for a bit. so i really do think of myself as an australian.. and i'm hoping to move back in oct to apply for citizenship. i'm not a big fan of malaysia, due to politics, religion and just the attitude of people there, so i'm gettin' out. my parents and siblings still live there but.. i think they mostly understand my sentiments.
malaysia mostly consists of malays, chinese and indians, as well as the aboriginal orang asli (who like most abo communities, get treated badly and live poorly). the malays are the dominating race, they pretty much get things easier than the rest of us, have special banks, and it's a muslim country so things are getting more and more extreme. chinese are prob next and then indians are considered "lower". our govt tries to promote multicultural harmony but in reality that is not how it always works.. thus most of my chinese malaysian friends moving countries as soon as they can. also, there is a big class system, family system thing going on so everyone knows about everyone and i can't stand all the judgement. but you know, i suppose i haven't given it enough time.. or patience..
i want to build an ecovillage and it's just not going to work in malaysia right now, so i want to start out in oz and see how it goes.
i used to write a lot too and i love the way the english language works, but now i mostly write music and use lyrics to express myself.. then again i think the message is more important. you should get back to writing! creativity is so essential
i'm studying chinese language in taiwan, but this is also a stepping stone to something else, it has given me time to consider life and where i want to go without upsetting my parents (they were also into me studying chinese! at least we agreed on that). i'm here till sept them back to kl, then probably back to melbourne. i actually graduated from university in 2004, i have a degree in western medicine, but that too was just a stepping stone! ayurveda is my next field of study i think.
what about you? what are you up to?
hope you had a good sleep :)
peace and love
durian .. well i grew up with the stuff obvs, it's so easy to get in malaysia but i was never allowed to eat much, as my mum would be like "it's fattening" hehe but now i try to eat it when i can. it's glorious but not everyone's cup of tea!
it's interesting that megre's style is so terrible in russian, but i suppose he wasn't an author, just someone trying to get the message across. the english translation is not linguistically beautiful but it still makes me cry and i still think it is beautiful. language is simply a machine to get across what we mean so as long as it makes us "feel" and we get the inner sound i don't think it needs to be overly beautiful. as much as i love literature!! maybe try reading the english version?
wow that is interesting, i don't think i've ever met a person of korean heritage whose family has lived in russia for generations- is that common? is russia quite multicultural? i know, i'm ignorant!! but that is very cool.
i gotta go back to class but love talking to you!!
:) xo
Thanks for the kelp noodles link :-)
