    I made hummus and it turned out tasting almost exactly like the store bought stuff i was used to. I made it with:

    -few squirts of lemon

    I blended it up in the blender and i took it out and was adding more cumin but it still tasted pretty bland. however, then i remembered i had miso paste and i added a few ...

    i had my blender of GS here and then in the car on the way to LA, i went up there to hang with a friend on sunday and check out a film at the arclight.

    Today is day #3 of my raw food journey. I really got inspired from the Discovery Health show with Dr. Oz and the evolution diet. Then I found this website and really was ready to go for it. Processed foods were making me feel sick and tired and fat.

    The past couple of days I thought I had no choice and had what was ...

    I'm pretty sick today, but footloose and toddler-free so I'm not sure whether it is better to crawl back into bed and watch VB's raw dvds all morning, or go for a walk. It's detox in the form of a chest cold. I can't breathe very well, so exercising does NOT sound appealing ...
