I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.
Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

I have 15 unripe bananas and I wish they'd hurry up already! They're only selling very green bananas all over town. I got 8 more today and my husband was really confused about all the bananas I was buying
I had more date nut torte and some sunflower seed pate with celery. I didn't want to get so many nuts and seeds in the middle of the day but I was starving and they were ready immediately.

That looks good Aleesha. I love the nice deep red color.
Hi everyone, I am in for December. :)
Today, I'm going to do my Monday water fasting. I love how it makes me feel on Tuesday! The plan right now is water today and most of tomorrow, but breaking my fast Tuesday night with a raw v8 (tomato juice, carrot juice and celery juice). Wednesday, I'll start up my normal fair probably with watermelon.
I never get such a vivid red when I make tomato-based things. Even with really red tomatoes I get a pinky result. Is there paprika in there as well as cayenne/chilli?
rob, good luck to YOU! water fasting seems way beyond anything I could ever do. maybe someday!
i'm going to go juice this bowl of fruits and veggies I saved from leftover bits yesterday. also, every night I make a list of the foods I can eat next day so I know my options.
ALSO, as I always do (it seems) I had a tiny bit of cooked food yesterday (vegan, but cooked) and immediately after I felt flushed and feverish and shortly thereafter the migraine I'd had earlier in the day (the day before?) came back. good reminder!
oh and I have SO MANY GREENS so I'd better get on that
eta: my lentil sprouts are almost ready! and I forget the real reason I hit edit.

okay so the juice was carrot/apple/clementine/lemon/celery but it only made about 8oz so then I made the apple porridge from Ani Phyo's second book. The porridge is apple, flax, walnuts, and dates food processed together and it was really good! I'll get a pic up later.
I decided lunch will be a kale salad - kale, avocado, evoo, lemon juice and some other veggies. I'm also going to dehydrate some kale chips and buckwheaties and something else buckwheatie maybe.
