Today, at 6:15pm, my car thermometer read 106 degrees. Apparently, I am living in an Excalibur dehydrator. I now know how Onion bread feels.

Today was the second day of my 30-day challenge, and I have no complaints! I seem to do quite well until day 4/5, so if this remains true Wednesday-Thursday may be rough days. MIL came over today and thumbed through my Rawvolution book. She thought many of the recipes looked delicious. She did suggest this was another one of my fads, but ...

Yesterday, September 1 was my first day of the challenge. I began with a 24 hour fast using the 7 day detox program from www.therawdivas.com.
