I'm sorry this entry is so long. I wanted to write about the entire weekend so I wouldn't forget what a good time I had.

The weekend started with the destruction of my food processor. It was a small, leaky attachment to my old blender. It made the most horrendous noise and stopped working. I needed another food processor immediately. I had promised to bring macadamia nut brownies and a strawberry cheesecake to a luncheon on Saturday. After searching RFT for threads on food processors ...

The most unexpected thing happened Saturday night! I got a phone call from the owner of one of the raw restaurants here.
