AhaaaHahahaAaahhahaaaAaaa omg.... too funny!! teheeee... sorry!!
... ...

Yes, bring your own food, and enjoy your beautiful vibrant foods. I wouldn't hide what you are doing - there is nothing to be ashamed of! I wouldn't bring it up unless someone asked tho. But if you're not comfortable discussing it - I would just say you are eating healty nutritious foods. And try leaving it at that if they push then offer a bit more information! You'll do great!

no....still don't have the book, my reading list is quite extensive right now....read read read, that's all I seem to be doing lately. Maybe I should just order and then I can breeze through it at least...

If you don't have the book, I'll pass on the ones I use when people get "curious". :)

You are doing something so wonderful for yourself! Be proud!! You don't have to have answers/explanations for anyone else, no mater what their background is. This is what is right for you, you have made the decision for you. I just tell people I'm a raw foodist and leave it at that. I forget, do you have Alissa's book? It has great answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

I've had a few bouts with non raw gatherings. I brought a vegie platter w/ spinach/avo dip for myself and to share. It wasn't out of the ordinary, so I didn't get a lot of "What's this??" Also, I would bring some Larabars or Lydia's raw snacks. These will help you "snack" and not feel deprived... especially for the long car ride. :)

favorite recipe? wow.. used to be spicy tacos... and I still love that cuz it's easy and you can eat it with cucumbers, carrots, celery - roll it up in lettuce so many different ways, ... but I also love the banana ice cream I just made (experimenting) and I lllooooove LoveLife's coconut oil fudge (but couldn't eat that all the time - but for a chocolate fix - OMGAAAWD YUMMY! What's your favorite recipe?

did that help or confuse you? and...lets see... if you dehydrate your foods at under 110 degrees, yes, the enzymes are still alive. (some say 110, some say 114, some say 118).. to be safe I do mine at 109!! lol

okay - I'm kinda new at all this but I will try to answer the best I can... considering my skill level in the kitchen when it comes to appliances... lol! okay - a food processor is a 'glorified blender sorta' chops food, shreds it, mixes doughs - so no - if you use it to prepare, chop or otherwise ... your food is not 'processed as in store bought processed crap -- but processed as in prepared....

I mostly go mono-eating. That is, I pick up a banana and eat it, and the same goes for veggies. I have sea salt and almond butter for decadence. I juice carrots in the morning; about a pint. I want to do more intricate things, but I'm a lowly artist. Little by little I'll have what I need. I buy new stuff every week, so I get to have more options as I go along. Some things I want to get are raw nori, for rolls, and truffles for chocolate cravings. Progress not perfection, Anna.

btw.. I'm eating raw corn right now with some avocado smashed onto it - looks a bit odd... but it is OMG DELICIOUS!!

what's left to cheat on exactly? Beans? ....not worth it, lol. That has to be one of the funniest statements I've read in a while!! OMG!! Girrrl.... too funny! Well, Im glad you're headed in a direction with the part time job (if that's what yu really want! ... then it's good!) ;) And congratulations on all the progress you are making... It's pretty awesome -- keep up the good work!

Seriously - you have a beautiful family ~ what a blessing you are to them.... and look at what you are doing for your health... You should be proud of what you're doing here! Everything will figure it's self out... emotional times - most likely detox... it will pass... You're doin great! ;) ...

for gawds sake -- you've got 6 kids... HELLO --- DID YOU HEAR THAT 6 KIDS.... and you've STILL GOT YOUR HAIR AND YOUR SANITY - honey- You're doin GREAT!!!! ;)

okay... breatheeeee.... girl - look at you - one week raw -- I'm such a proud mommy of our little rawbie rasiaca!!! You're doin so great. ;)

too funny (and very cute) about the blender!! heheeeee and GOOD FOR YOUR DH FOR SAYING TO YOU ... DON'T DO IT! he gets the Golden Carrot Award for the Week.... for saving a rawbie from a SAD fate...!!! ;)

a 10... gotta be the spicy tacos. Up there at the top of the page where you see the banana - do a search for 'spicy tacos' and do another search for 'RAW FAJITAS'.... both excellent - and another 10... (actually an 11...) LOVELIFES COCONUT OIL FUDGE.... omg - amazing - she just posted that last week on her blog - seriously amazing!!!

btw... I loove those littlest pet shop toys! All I have are 5 grandsons.. and of course they would be mortified if I gave them anything like that.... but they are sooo cute! hey - did you ever get that swing set disassembled?? Youre dh cracks me up... he reminds me A LOT of my very own dh... the last thing he brought home is an old antique piano - (2nd one) do we play them? NO.. do either one of us play piano.... NO. gotta love em...

You're really doin great! I tried that recipe this weekend by lovelife for the coconut oil fudge... unbelievable. If you try it - you won't be disappointed! I just got caught up on all your blogs! I love the argument with yourself - I went thru that - It's so strange all the stuff we put ourselves thru - but you are REALLY DOING GREAT - you should be proud of yourself! ;)
