Give it to me Raw

I have been trying to lose the habit of calling any certain food "good or bad", but sometimes I still ask myself "how will I feel after eating this" I know that if I eat certain foods now that later on I will feel bloated, have a stomache, have the runs and seem to live in the bathroom for a week straight and in some cases (mainly from to much sodium)~makes my lips feel numb & swollen

My motto is it should be tasty, healthy, and most of all quick & easy to prepare. When I open some raw cookbooks and find a recipe with a page long worth of ingredients or even short recipes that require the use of a food processor, blender, juicer and dehydrator all for 1 recipe, I ask myself, “Do they really expect me to spend that much time just to eat?” Then I think of all of the time it will take to wash all the dishes and I give up. Are they kidding?

I'm not really into mono-eating, but I do like to keep it that simple...well except maybe I could live on fruit for a whole day, but not just 1 kind. And I'm usually to lazy to make up fancy recipes for the fruit. Funny how some people will look surprised when I'm walking around the small general store here and all I have in the cart is a whole bunch of produce...someone will ask what I'm gonna do with it all.
"I'm gonna eat it" thats why I'm buying it????

I was asked on more than 3 occasions if I had a pet monkey!

I agree that it should be simple for me, but I know people that actually enjoy all that prep work. My favorite recipes have 3-5 ingredients and take no more than 20 minutes to prepare.

You're suppose to be able to pick the leaf out of the middle - and it comes out realllllllll easy - if it's ripe. It should smell ripe too.

It's actually surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it. No machete required. Shave off the husk at the pointed top close to the shell. Then poke the point of a knife in about 2 or 3 cm out from the centre and wiggle it about until it pierces ...
