I just got back from a 5 day conference in Portland. It was my first stay away from home since going RAW Dec. 27. I weas a little nervous about food and took lots of things to keep in my room: carob balls, banana pancakes, and flax crackers. I went to a store and got lots of fresh fruit, figuring it would keep for 5 days. Everything worked out so well! I was thrilled. I ate fresh fruit or salads during the conference meals, snacked on what I had stored in my room. The real bonus is that I had 2 beautig=ful meals at The Blossoming Lotus. One of you had recommended it, especially the pizza there, which was, in fact, delicious! I also tried some of their juices and desserts which were also quite tasty. I had one lunch at Vegannopolous. They have one RAW entree a day, which I tried. It was tasty, but overall, not nearly the adventure at Blossoming Lotus. The folks who work at BL were great, as well. It was just a wonderful experience and I am very grateful to whoever it was that recommended that place.
Oh--and Portland is a positively wonderful city!!:D
