Dippin'

A couple of you asked about the balsamic dipping sauce I mentioned in an earlier post. Since it was my hubby who tweaked and perfected the recipe I'll leave it up to him to share his recipe with you on his blog, which hopefully will be soon. It's yummy, especially with fresh tomatoes!

I just did a quick scroll down your blog...so much to catch up on. I'm hoping to sneak in a few minutes this afternoon. I've been doing some potty training with my son this week. So...you and Yardsnacker are a married item. My inquiring blogger mind had always wanted to know. OK, catch you later!

Hi Rosie, Happy Thursday! It's almost TGIF day! I've been working from home most of this week since my boss is out of town and he's the only person I ever see in the office, it's been a nice change...but there's also some personal turmoil happening so it's helped to be home.

To answer your question about it being hard to give up fosters when they get adopted...yes, it is difficult. I have had about a dozen foster dogs, only got one kitty adopted out so far and one of my good friends took him so felt really good about that because they fell in love with him.

The reason I foster the way I do is so that I can feel comfortable about giving the furkids to their new families, I do the interviews, I do the home visits, I personally get to make sure that I am happy with the individual match as well as the environment and people that they will spend the rest of their lives with. So I always feel really good about it and although it is hard and I miss them, I do get attached to them all, I have a lot of my own pets and it is nice to have a little break in between and some quiet time with my own kids, giving them extra love and affection. Most of the families who have adopted my fosters still email me and send me pics and stuff so that makes it much, much easier!

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding ...

The "Glow"

I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow...

For the Non-Raw Foodist

Aimee recently posted on her blog some basic info found on the Raw Network of Washington 's website about the raw food diet. I thought it was helpful that I thought I'd share too. Here are a couple of links which I'll also post in my sidebar. What is a raw food diet? Why raw food? chart created by Bob McCauley I understand that the raw food lifestyle isn't for everyone but there are many things about it that EVERYONE can benefit from in some way; hopefully these links will help answer a few questions. One of the standard questions raw foodists hear is where do you get your protein ? I still plan on doing a separate post about this but haven't had a whole lot of time lately so in the meantime, for those interested, here is a 9+ minute video that talks about protein . Update: yes, I do have spirulina from time to time in my smoothies. Only small amounts though as it does take some getting used to. :) And speaking of not a lot of time lately, I'm a bit behind i...
