because i'm eating french fries!


alissa's recipe for spicy fries
they look EXACTLY like the real mcCoy..,
but don't taste like it tho.
not bad mind you, just different.
i had them after a nice ripe tomato salad...


i put moe on the look out to let me know if a mob uprising was headed our way...




i was out all day today and stayed raw, happy & energetic.
did the food shopping after work and came home to put it all away and bag up serving size portions of some of it.

watched some of today's oprah... interesting segment w/ dr oz talking about the gorilla diet (yeah, that's pretty much us )
http://www2.oprah.com/health/oz/oz_20070917_350_107.jhtml
they had a group of people who ate 11#s of fresh raw fruits veggies nuts & seeds every day... after 10 days their cholesterol dropped 25% (meds can't even do that) their bp dropped 10% and they lost weight too.
but they didn't spend much time on that diet at all. just mentioned in passing. but mentioned it was!
interesting!

i hope everyone else here had a wonderful day today
thinking of you tig, hope you get my message from bc site.

    Those fries look so good. I made them once but wasn't too impressed. Guess I had my mind set on real fries. :) If ONLY there was a recipe for raw fries that tasted like them! *sigh* Interesting about Oprah. Now it's the Gorilla Diet? Hmmm....I ain't no gorilla....think I like Living Foods better. You're doing great! Keep it up. :)

    jicima indeed. i only can find it in one store and it's a little old and $2 #, one weighs about 1.5# in the size range here. it was worth it. all the leftover snipps i saved for rice in my nori roll tomorrow.

    Wow. And I actually had a dream that I was eating jimaca fries. Those are mouth watering. How do they taste though? Jimaca is like a starch food,right?

    not starchy, crisp like a pear. not sweet. just like what flavors you marinate it in, it makes super 'rice' for nori rolls.

    The fries look divine, as will you in the party gown. I'm surprised that Oprah hasn't done anything yet on the raw diet. (???) Usually she's on top of everything...it's only a matte of time I think. Until then...beppa's in the mist gnawing on her banana. Oh, and we could never hate you!!!

    Hey snow! I made those fries yesterday too - but w/out honey. Yours look divine! You're right though - they don't taste like a greasy, artery clogging one....I think they taste kind of like a green bean! Keep up the great work - 1 day at a time!
    P.S. I LOVE MONKIES! lol...can't tell by the name can you???
