Raw Fu Meet Up

Saturday was our 30-day Raw Fu Challenge Meet Up in Seattle at Chaco Canyon. There were many Raw Fu meet ups happening around the country, possibly around the WORLD!

I didn't take a whole lot of pictures but captured a few here.


Clockwise from top left: nacho platter, kiwi-lime pie, Seattle Raw Fu-ers (back row: me, Sam, Priss, Nikki, Chris - front row: Sara Beth, Becca, Aimee), Bunny the Dolly-Raw-Ma

Yardsnacker put together a video (complete with transcript!) you can view here. See how much fun we had? Maybe for our next meet up Thrive will be open (hint hint!).

I am giggling so hard!!! I had to explain why to my family. That Dolly Raw Ma picture with candles burning in front of it is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!

When I'm in Washington, I hope to meet everyone in your meetup group! They seem like a fun bunch!

Lots of love to you,

I have watched the Seattle video 3 times already this week. I think it is awesome and the Dolly Raw Ma is classic...I laugh out loud every time I see that and hear the music. Did Bunny love it?

I just wanted to tell you how beautiful I think you are. It was wonderful to see you speak and move. You totally light up a room!

You and Yardsnacker have a wonderful weekend!

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 ...

Goodies

So it had been quite awhile since Yardsnacker and I had our cupboards full of our favorite raw treats and supplements so this past Saturday we finally stocked up at our local raw store, Raw Vegan Source (they mentioned they were in the process of updating their website so not sure it's really up to snuff just yet but for those interested they do ship nationally). Just thought I'd share some of the things we bought. Some of the things we picked up were definitely splurges or rather, new for us. Such as this candy bar. It was pretty good. I thought the chocolate itself could use more sweetening but the filling was delicious! If you're not familiar with raw caramel it's not ooey-gooey like you'd typically find in conventional candy. This has a drier texture - just no t gooey - but was perfectly sweet and satisfying li ke caramel. To me anyway, which is all that counted at the time. :) On the way home we snarfed this raw hummus with Italian-seasoned flax cr ackers. I...

Raw Fu Challenge Update - First 10 Days

The first 10 days of the 100 day Raw Fu challenge has been a success for me. I managed to lose five whole pounds. Yippee! And I was relatively all raw except I did have a couple spoonfuls of organic peanut butter and if you have read Yardsnacker 's recent post he rats on me, er, I mean he merely mentions that I had some cooked food brought down by a neighbor (he included a pic of my leftovers). If you haven't read it, go ahead and then come back here and read the rest of my post. Hurry. Okay, so our neighbor knows we eat "healthy" but doesn't know the full extent of it so when he offered us this meal he wasn't sure if Sam would eat it because it had some fish cake in it (I wasn't sure I'd eat it either - fish cake sounds wrong). He and his family are so nice and generous that I had to accept the meal (they're always giving Sam stuff, I'm a lucky recipient by default - guess they like him better then me. boo hoo!). It was a rice cake dish (th...
