Profile Information

About Me:: I've discovered feeling fantastic like I haven't felt in Years, after going raw since February, 2008. Transition these first couple of months have taught me to let alot of things go (mostly emotional!) I've always loved and preferred most foods raw or unprocessed so transition was about letting go of certain "needs" that I'd brainwash myself into (meat!). I started raw in order to gain health and not lose weight (I'm pretty thin already!). What I'm discovering is the bliss in eating REAL food and feeling better that I ever thought I could at every meal and in every day.
I'm already very thin and actually want to build my body in a healthy, cleansing way (ironicly).

Relationship Status:: Single

Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?: Young coconut, Jicama, Asparagus, green papaya juice; Rocket lettuce.

Interests (outside of Raw Food):: Music! I love soulful and experimental music where you get a fun playful vibe (Erykah Badu, Tori Amos, India Arie, Spearhead, Peaches, DAVID BOWIE, Tom Waits, Miley Cyrus, Kate Bush, Kate Nash, Tori Amos, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, James Brown, João Gilberto, Neil Young, Nina Simone, Peter Tosh, Sade, Simon & Garfunkel, Sinéad O'Connor, Stan Getz, Patti Smith, Patsy Cline, Chrissy Hind, Cypress Hill, Blondie, Devo, Daft Punk, Depeche Mode, Doves, Fleetwood Mac, Cher, New Order, Roxy Music, Steely Dan, Suicidal Tendencies, Tears For Fears, Beastie Boys, Beatles, Clash, Cure, Eagles, The Fugees, Isley Brothers, The Postal Service, The Rolling Stones, The Smiths, The Sundays, The Velvet Underground, X; Also love dancing and Kundalini yoga; MIYASAKI movies; Gardening; Swimming or being by the water whether it's the Beach, Lake or Hurricane Harbor, Sewing and playing with fibers (food and cloth!)

Foraging, Growing and Freeganism in Southern Oregon

In three days, I'm heading up with the rest of my stuff packed in the '95 Nissan and moving to Grants Pass. I know Heidi's going to have the swiss chard, lettuces, onions and some tomatoes up there for me. Glenda has some lettuce (and arugula) I can snag too. Other than that, I'm starting fresh on a new territory to forage. What's so cool is that Sergei Boutenko has his foraging hikes and he's in Ashland. I just discovered this three weeks. Just one mo… Continue

August Foraging in Los Angeles

Rawkin Robin keeps bringing a dozen lemons back from her visits with Jim. It's Sunday and I just went out early this morning for a walk about the neighborhood. Good things are growing like crazy around L.A. Just this morning I grabbed a few avocados from next door, a dozen honeydew… Continue

Grants Pass - the girls went shopping, this little piggy stayed home

Robin and Jess went shopping all afternoon with Heidi, Roxy and the girls. I stayed home and ate. It was going to be a day's break from lots of people and catching up on emails and just get busy doing nothing. But then I got hungry and John helped me find the food processor they had. Damn, I got the kitchen dirty fast! I wanted to try processing the dried coconut I bought into a yummy spread, but I couldn't get the hang of it, so I ended up using the processed, "half-way there" coconut to roll… Continue

Grants Pass - an amazing arrival

Two hours after I got off the bus in Grants Pass, I met a raw foodist here. How cool is that? As soon as my sister Heidi, picked us up at the bus depot, we went to eat at one of those all-you-can-eat buffet places. The smells and sights of the cooked food was amazingly tempting and I found myself craving some cooked food. It was weird. There was some lovely melons and veggies in the salad bar area that I enjoyed, but I found myself wanting to just try a bite of some fried chicken skin and the s… Continue

Going to Grants Pass on the Greyhound Bus

I showed up at my sister's place in Grants Pass, Oregon. It was a 15 hour Greyhound bus ride from L.A. I was grateful for the day of greens and juices to prepare me for something I don't normally look forward to: 15 hours of cramped snoozing on the bus. I was able to take some hours in and out of dozing to reflect on the past few days while people were sleeping around us on the ride. I had just moved out of the house on Harold Way on Monday, June 30. Spent Tuesday, July 1 finishing up business… Continue
