Check out some changes I made to my blog and let me know if you like it....

I added a collage of all of my raw pictures at the top. Just curious if people like the old lay out or the new one better. I think I like this one better but am alway changing my mind on how I want my blog to look.

List of Things I want to do SOON!

1. Go to some tropical paradise and get trained as a yoga instructor.

2. Be around inspiring raw foodists (who make wonderfully delicious food and make me want to make wonderful food as well).

3. Move to New York for the summer and work in a delicious raw food restaurant (preferably Pure Food and Wine).

4. Find a job that is not BORING like the one I work at now!

Cool!! Where are u training? BTW, saw your performance the other night at yourACT. you were AMAZING!!!!! Would love to hear all about your experience and yes, we need to make dishes together. As the weather starts to cool, I'm more likely to eat non raw food and need the motivation!!ox

Right now I'd settle for just eating at Cafe Gratitude before I decide if I want to work there. I really need to make my way out west. I wasn't raw the last time I was in San Fran (although I was just starting to learn how to eat better).

This may sound strange, but the german chocolate cake was "pretty good." I mean, it was light, and pleasant, but it wasn't knock-out ECSTASY. . . if that's what you're going for.

this is the cafe gratitude recipe that i altered:

Cake:
9 cups nut milk pulp
2 cups well packed finely chopped dates
3/4 cup raw unscented coconut butter
1/2 cup raw cacao powder
1/4 cup vanilla
1/4 cup fresh coconut milk (blend coco-water with meat)
1/2 teaspoon salt

(I found this cake mix too bland...so i added and changed a few ingredients)

Filling:
5 cups pecans or walnuts
3 cups coconut flakes
1 cup agave nectar
2 tablespoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt

To make the filling:
food processor 4 cups nuts, agave, vanilla, salt until nut-butter consistency. transfer to bowl and add remaining nuts and coconut flakes and mix.

make cake:
food processor dates until smooth (may need to add water or scrape down sides several times). next, in a standing mixer with the flat paddle or with a hand mixer at low speed, beat the date, coconut butter, cacao powder, vanilla, coconut milk, and salt until smooth. Add flour and mix at a highter speed until well incorporated. when ready, remove from mixer and seperate into however many layers you wanna make.

grease a removable bottom 9-inch cake pan and start forming your layers. set in fridge to chill.

take out, remove cake pan shell and pour over a chocolate sauce of your choice and chill again. i tried their chocolate sauce:

1 1/2 cup almond milk
3/4 cup cacao beans
3 tablespoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt

Blend!

let me know if you try it out! or if you have remaining questions about it.

Wow, so you'll be doing the same thing as Marte. I didn't realize you were acrobatically inclined. Very cool.

As for my job, I work in the back office of a very large brokerage firm. If you want to know my exact title, it's Credit Services Account Specialist. Basically, I'm a clerk who processes crap all day. As you can tell, it's quite thrilling. How in the world could I ever want to leave this wonderful cubicle of mine?

So what are you gonna be doing in Hawaii anyway?
At 4:00am on October 7th, 2008, Marte said…
Yes, I am thinking about going back in the end of feb/start of march, to do aerial with the girls. But it kinda depends on what I'm doing afterwards. I don't know if you remember Munkey (big canadian with a tattoo going down his arm?). We've been planning to bike the west coast and work at animal shelters on the way...so I'll have to get that one planned out a bit more first.

Are you thinking about aerial camp as well? Or some yoga stuff?
