Hello rawsome ones,
I've been toying with going raw for 5 yrs, since falling in love w/Juliano's book. Frankly, I kept getting confused, but found myself really wanting to do it, both for health & ecological reasons.

So as of Monday, I'm diving right in. Probably won't be 100% for a while, though. So thankful to have found this group, so I won't have to reinvent the wheel.

Be warned, I'll have LOTS of questions. First one- so far (two days into it) I'm feeling like I'm doing a whole lot of preparing & washing up. I'm hoping there's a curve here, and it won't be quite so labor-intensive? (That said, I'm having a whole lot more fun in the kitchen since I stopped baking a couple yrs ago!)

Love, Cilantro/Sara

Welcome! Washington state is well represented on this board. I’m over on the coast in Ocean Park. I try to make kitchen chores into a meditation. I practice staying present in the moment while I chop, peel, and scrub. And when I get tired of that I turn on some rocking music and sing while I work. Best wishes in your raw journey.

Thanks VW! The music's a good idea. I'll make myself a raw playlist & fire up the iPod.

And I do love to chop. I figured out today that I can sit on my kitchen stool part of the time, too. Eureka!

Love, Sara
