Martha Stewart food

[bellona]

I'm so wishy washy lately. I think it's because I'm so tired and dull feeling. I'm not back on raw yet. Gotta wait until pay day to go shopping :rolleyes:

But anyways, yesterday I was all psyched about getting on raw again...and then the mail came. Several months ago I requested Martha Stewart food and it just came (thank goodness I didn't pay for it - I'm just going to cancel it!). But anyway, the food on the front looked SOOOOO good. My resolve was broken. I opened it up and the first recipe I came to was...a totally raw salad recipe. If that's not a sign, I don't know what is. It's the special grilling issue or whatever.

So today I got some boxes and I'm putting all of my cook books in them to store. I can't bring myself to throw them away and I can't really bring myself to commit to raw forever. So right now I'm telling myself that I'll do raw for a while and when my body gets back to normal I'll reevaluate the situation. It's a little more encouraging that way.

Collecting cookbooks is a hobby of mine. I especially like the really old ones. Yes, there are always a lot of recipes in those books that do not apply. But almost all cookbooks will have at least one raw recipe in them. I do go through mine every so often and if I see one that has nothing of interest, I will get rid of it. I used to have two bookcases full. Now I have two shelves.

I'm sure there are a number of recipes in the ones I have that I could use...but I"m not risking opening them. Not yet anyway. I don't trust myself!

Don't you love it when old cookbooks have some grotesque recipe for something like possum or squirrel? I have have had intense belly laughs form old books like that.

bellona, go through your cookbooks & adjust the recipes for RAW. I have so much fun doing that. it makes me feel that they are not a waste AND I get to keep my books.

I actually found some really cool recipes for almond milk and flavored variations in my old veggie cookbooks. Most of the recipes are filled with eggs, cheese and milk and I just happened to flip through when I started raw and found all these cool recipes that I can use now.

You can always donate the cookbooks and then, new ones that are raw will magically come into your life ;)

I don't like to look at magazine pictures of cooked food myself or read the recipes :eek: I jokingly refer to as 'food porn' with my friends. (Sorry, I have a really bad sense of humor--I'm a lamo! LOL)
