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...
Yesterday, I asked Sam to take the microwave out of the kitchen. His jaw dropped. Of course, he had to remind me what I told him last year that I would NEVER get rid of it. ha ha! Times have certainly changed. But since he's not ever going to use it and I rarely use it and won't be using it for the next 96 days I figure move it out and free up some space. Maybe we'll keep it in storage for a bit or just give it away. Haven't decided on that yet but for now, my kitchen is microwave-free.

that feature has been part of my life for at least 30 years. I cannot imagine life without it. . .

OH wait, and to melt cheese. I almost forgot about that very important use for a microwave!
I was so happy to get rid of it and I can say I haven't missed it one bit.

PS. I think SAM should win the mustache contest too!
oh and THANKS for reminding me. I got this comment and i'm currently drinking a green smoothie... and i was almost finished when you reminded me. I have to go to work and then climb/train but i'll post it before midnight for sure. It kind of shows the funny side of me...
Also I think I should start copying badash's work out routine. She makes me feel like a lazy bum! ;)
See you thursday!
Now I find other ways to make things quick and easy!
Way to go!!!

Looks like she's going to do another one focused on making natural beauty products too.
after much tedious begging and conversations about this at my home too, we finally gave that evil nuke box away! good riddance to bad heating. when m'lady moved in, she was convinced she NEEDED it. what a bogus lie. it got used like 4 times a month, and now that i'm raw-ing it up [i do the food prep around here,] there's no noodles or heatables to warm in the microwave. not that the stove is gone, but i like to think about it as a glorified counter top.
hooray for you and sam!
anyways
thanks for hte comment.
I had no idea which one to enter, but hopefully they like the one i did enter...
that book (rawvolution) is one i've been saving up for!!!
good for you!

One morning Peter was nuking something, we smelled smoke, looked all over the kitchen and couldn't find the source. Then I opened the microwave and white smoke whirled out. We immediately unplugged it and quickly removed it from the house.
My mother threatened to replace it but I talked her out of it. They have both adjusted and life in the kitchen runs perfectly fine without it.
