When we walked into this little place in Soho, we were immediately drawn to all the wood & the incredibly vibrant food. But the first time we looked at the menu we got really confused. There were "menu items", different sizes of plates, a buffet, a plate with a "main", etc...so we walked out because a family of four was behind us & we didn't want to keep them waiting. The funny thing was that we walked back in several minutes later, and the family of four was still trying to figure it out. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As far as I could tell, most people just do the "buffet", which here means pile whatever you want on your plate-one time. It's not American after all. You could also pay more & order a buffet with what they considered to be a "main" dish, but it seemed pretty unecessary.</div>

There was one pretty much "raw" food bar & then one that mostly had cooked & steamed veggies, rices, curried veggies & really nourishing, simple cooked foods. I chose the mostly raw kale salad, broccoli salad, and loads of shredded veggies. Very simple. Some oil. Some seasonings but very mild. Perfect for travelling-I just don't like to tax my system that much when bebopping around. And I was pretty stoked to find food that I wouldn't totally regret eating an hour later (like sugar laden vegan bakery goods!!).</div>

I love that they put Free from GMO AND Irradiation on their sign! Irradiation isn't even really a word we use in the States. Unlike the States, Peeps are leery of GMO's in Europe. It's not that they don't have any, but people are much more reluctant to have them take over. </div>

The food was so perfect for me, that we ate here twice! It's central location lent itself to an easy place to stop in, while walking until we could no longer, on the streets of London. Which may be one of our fave places in the world. Like a refined "States", yet there is enough chaos to keep it interesting. And people are just generally friendly. </div>

This is kind of normal. Pj digging under foundations, saving puppies. This one was in Washington Park, Illinois. Where so many homes are "newer", yet abandoned & completely falling down. Pj & GPG spent hours digging to rescue this little Princess. Her siblings were rescued on another day.</div>

And then all different feeding days for Radius. Pj's new love, in East St. Louis. He is a stray & was always super quiet until he saw that Ol' Man Ellis was in the back of the car, and was getting rescued. Once he figured out that Pj's car was a viable option, he seems to insist that it will be his option as well. Pj is pretty much wanting to get this guy as soon as the shelter has room or we have a foster.</div>

The only candidate for which I actively campaigned. I can't put 100% behind anyone else. I can vote for someone else, but can't put 100%. And his wife rocks too. <br />
Vote for Prop 37. And then take it to the nation.<br />
It doesn't cover everything. Like the animals that eat GMO. I don't think they have to label the animals GMO. But at least vegans will be able to tell from where their food comes-well, a little better anyhow.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So check all your "corn" products........Fresh corn used to be "safer" because it is really feed corn that is GMO. But now Monsanto wants to invite itself to the fresh food products. You know, all we want is labeling. We "want" more, but all we are doing now, on our knees, sucking your MonsantoGmoWitheredBalls, is just label the product in which you are so proud. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And if you really loathe Monsanto and want to decrease GMO's, then quit eating meat and dairy.<br />

"The Other Side" in Boston. Since Closed, which is a shame because apparently it was a fixture in the Back Bay for 20 years! Not a vegan place, but they had some vegan goods, and brews for the man. This is part of the "Nature Boy" RAW platter. Yep, a beer-bar type of place had raw food eats on the menu. Insane & priced really well. A huge platter of sliced veggies with 3 types of raw nut cheezes. Way more filling that the typical "raw food entree" geared for breatharians in training.</div>

Hubby spent some College Years in the Boston area so always romanticized it a bit. So we made a detour on our last trip to hang out there for a night. It was bitter cold and the wind was brutal. So walking around wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been. We were thrilled to find this place. Super comfy & chill vibe. And with hot vegan chili! </div>

There were 3 types of "nut cheeses" and pates. Cashews, Sunflowers, spices. Kind of the "norm" for Raw food dips/pates. But what a great idea! So easy for them to whip up in food processor & then so little prep to run those veggies through a processor/slicer. Wish more "regular places" would offer fresh foods like this!</div>

Always a bummer when a place that has been in one area closes after 20 years. But rumor has it that there may be a possibility of it reopening in another location.............And you can go to their FB page, where they may keep you informed of any news. A place that has <b><i>both</i></b> raw food and beer?? That is a true "couple pleaser". :)</div>

A few pictures from an impromptu Vegan Barbecue. Hubby loves to cook out in the summer. Something manly about fanning flames while drinking some barley malt. Just a few pictures of some VeganPhat Food. So he really digs the firm tofu with Barbecue Sauce. His favorite brand is Organicville and he puts about half the bottle on prior to cooking, and uses the remaining 1/2 while he cooking.</div>

Hubby likes the Italian Style of Tofurkey Brats. So they aren't the most "unprocessed" stuffs, but zero cholesterol (because only animal foods really contain measurable cholesterol) & much better than those truly fatty brats.....And his fave sauce. Organicville brands tend to be pretty good & tasty-but sweet. Seems like most have agave in them (which I don't use any longer)-and a bit pricey. But ingredients tend to be organic & so hopefully less chance of major GMO explosion in tummy.</div>

Hubby loves his Brats. You really need to watch these on the grill as they may be oily for "vegan food" they aren't oily like meat & only need to cook briefly, to "warm up". If you overcook them, they will dry out.</div>

Oh I miss you summer, but not really the months on seemingly endless 104 degree (F) temps. Ouch. Summers in St. Louis truly suck weatherwise. You can't buy enough sunblock & the long sleeve sunclothes get old after awhile. And your car doors and house door and all your doors have even more white smears on them from your obnoxious "mineral sunblock". So if solely for the UV factor, I welcome fall. Oh, <i>and</i> I can break out the slow cookers!</div>

Elizabeth Kucinich talking about Vegan & Politics. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From Politico article:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kucinich says members of Congress, of all people, should be switching to a vegan diet.</span></i></div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Many people in Congress, and other places, have lots of different diseases that other people have got, too, like diabetes or high blood pressure, cholesterol and things. So just by talking to them about plant-based diets being the way to go, that there’s no cholesterol in plant food, for example, that really helps using legislative vehicles as a way to converse with people.”</span></i></div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Also not helping Kucinich’s cause? The president.</span></i></div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“It’s a shame when Michelle Obama is out there fighting the good fight, trying to get people thinking about their diet and then somebody else very close to home is doing a very different kind of photo-op,” said Kucinich, referencing the president’s various stops at hamburger joints.</span></i></div>

And one of the only peeps in the Political Arena that are Vegan and have the balls to speak out about Monsanto. Their crops get more political welfare than Big Bird ever will & I just don't hear either party actually talking about it. Sad. Eat organic. Eat as close to the source as possible so you don't have to call about every random ingredient that could be corn derived. Shop at co-ops and Whole Foods and health food stores if you want to get packaged foods and even then, read the labels. There are a LOT of decent companies that are labelling with the Non-Gmo project-and these co-ops & Whole Foods have a lot more products that will label "non gmo" in their ingredient list. But if you truly want to give GMO's out of your life, then you even have to think about what you wear, because cotton is apparently also a large GMO crop. Organic Cotton & Hemp are other options..........</div>

I love London. Okay, it's not the most challenging place, because you can speak English. So everyday tasks don't totally confuse you. You can converse with people. You understand the prices. You can read menus. You get "it". It's like that States, but it seems more educated. But not so organized that it's totally dull. I think of it as being the States, but 2.0. </div>

Crazy amount of European Raw Food Stuffs!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we were in Europe recently for some work. And as usual, we tend to figure out our own plans. So we rented an apartment for a few days in London, instead of staying in the mainstream hotel that my hubby's workplace provided. Usually the hotels are quite nice, but a bit dull, and generally a "name brand". And not on High Street. I mean, who can resist High Street? And our place was super close to the Kensington Whole Foods. Which may be the most beautiful Whole Foods in the World. Seriously, I felt like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. Except it was like little vegan girl in a wacky wonder vegan extravaganza. An insane Whole Foods. It felt like endless flights of OrganicUtopia. Levels upon Levels of Endless Goodness. A Wine Bar. A Craft Beer Keg area. Locally Grown Sprouts for CHEAP! Vegan Confections. The top level with several restaurants........I think my hubby & I both worried that we may not want to go anywhere else in London!!</div>

Jaw dropped when I see a counter full of Vegan Marshmallows. And a confectionery display that had "Suitable for Vegan Diet" signs on the majority of the handmade sweet heaven. I don't eat marshmallows or sugar, generally. And I didn't this time either. But I was just so thrilled that all of this was available! It was me "choosing" not to eat it instead of just "not" being able to eat it because it contained blood, pus & animal guts. No, it was happy vegan sugar stuff. </div>

Okay, it was really tempting and I may have lingered. Thankfully no one was really attending the counter at that time so I could just browse. And Browse. And Browse. Seriously, ALL vegan stuffs! All those little red signs say "Eat Me I am Vegan"!</div>

And I don't do Vegan Cheeses much either.....But my love does. And we both were shocked to finally come in contact with this mysterious "Sheese". Which isn't really available, at least near us, in the States. It's Scottish. So hubby had to acquire some. They also had a lot of other vegan cheeses......Seriously, these Londoners are way outveganing us. In a very big way.</div>

Yes, we just had to pass by this counter again!! Look at all that amazing stuff! How do Vegans in London not just get hugely obese with all this selection??!! Of course it is probably kind of pricey, but we don't really know what anything is in pounds. Our brains are already hurting from the stupidly long flight on the stupid Iberian Airlines. And we don't care about pounds, on our tummy or otherwise. We just want to actually rent an apartment IN this Whole Foods.</div>

Rumor has it that Austin has Craft Beer too?? But our lame ass juice barless WF in St. Louis, has NO veggie Juice and NO barely juice. Not freshly squeezed anyway. Mini-Kegs from Whole Foods. This is why WF enhances marriages. Little RawVeganFlirtWifey can eat her hearts content with overpriced raw CarawayGlutenFreeCrackers and Hubby can Get Organic Pan & Craft Beer which won't make you fat or have any harmful effects on you, because it's from Whole Foods, right?? So that makes the beer healthy, right?????? Um, Nope honey. It's still beer......But I won't bug you too much about it if you don't complain about my foo foo crackers and locally grown sprouts.</div>

London (And Europe in general) just has a lot more bottled (in glass) real juices. Veggie & Fruit juices. They just have veggies and fruit in them. I know, it shouldn't be such a "WOW" thing. But almost nothing in the States does NOT have crap in it. I mean, I feel like 90% of the "food" they sell in the states is just laden with chemical stuffs and it's not like it is going to change, because most people don't even really read the ingredients or really care. They think because the phenomenal US government allows this shit to be sold, that it must be okay. Even the super paranoid conspiracy theory people and the Ron Paul voters and the uber progressive peeps, they just tend to trust their food sources. Or they sigh, and still pick up that case of soda, bakery bread from the supermarket (with 100 ingredients), and meat that probably has BSE, and BPA laden everything. Eye Roll. It shouldn't really be rare to be able to buy "juice" without chemicals in it. But for this US girl, it really is. Rare.</div>

This is my hubby's life force. Dead Bread & "Living" Cheese. I donated my cheese to him to avoid eating ALL of it. Bread from Whole Foods. He LOVES bread. He had little Gluten Festivals every single night. And Raw Vegan Cheese from the Saf to go area, in Whole Foods.</div>

You could rent bikes......"Barclay's" bikes. We didn't, but a friend of ours did. He said they were really "clunky" but he is really into bikes. I think it's cool that 90% of Londoners are not overweight & are able to actually ride a bike. I wish that we had more stuff like that-in ALL of our cities. Not just the profoundly overly hip cities. But in "The Belt". We live in "The Belt'. Like the Crotch. Like the Smelly Crotch. Okay, Our Smelly Crotch has really Cheap Realty & we Currently have health insurance, like today, so I guess ShutUpAboutSmellyCrotch and just get a BulletProofVestForOutdoorKaleGardening. </div>

Great. SO funny. We had already given all information before arriving, so basically we rang the bell when we arrived with luggage. Someone from underneath came up, took us up to the apartment, gave us a wifi password & key, and that was it. Nothing about check out. Nothing about anything else.........A very different type of "check in". And it all worked out great. I did have to make sure we didn't have to "do anything" prior to check out. But there was NO check out. We left the key on the table in the apartment! Abdul apparently "runs" this building. I think his parents live on the first floor, but when I tried to ask them something, they couldn't respond at all, because I don't think they spoke a single word of english, or spanish. But I later got in touch with Abdul, and he confirmed that we do nothing. No cleaning, etc...Just leave the key in the apartment! </div>

Good-bye Whole Foods. I do so dream of a penthouse on top of your lovely Kensington Location. But somehow I don't think that will come to Fruition. However.......I can plant some Kale in our square foot garden in the "hood" at home, and hope we don't get hit with stray bullets, while tending to it. St. Louis is a real fucking dive.

And Dennis Kucinich on GMO's. I believe the majority of foods in regular supermarkets to contain GMO's. Even in Whole Foods & Co-ops, a lot of food can contain GMO's. So eating fruits & veggies, organic and cutting out all packaged products is probably the safest. I try to read the ingredients for any packaged products or look for the Non-Gmo seal. Typically better brands will specify non-gmo for any soy, corn, or other questionable ingredients. To my knowledge, most fruits and veggies haven't been tampered with much yet. The majority of GMO's are used for "feed" crops, given to animals, which people then kill & eat. But all that corn waste & soy waste is also put into other products. Packaged products. <br />

Last year I got to do some work with a friend from Atlanta. We had met abroad........and I had not yet been able to see her in her "home base". But you know it's going to be a good experience when upon arriving home from the airport, she lets you know we aren't parking in the driveway because that is her yoga teacher's parking spot. And then starts telling me she is learning to chant the Sutras (Patanjali) and bursts out into Sanskrit Song. </div>

This is a great Yoga Room!! She lives right by the University in Atlanta and her whole house is super bright & airy. And I kept running into little sayings taped onto things. Quotes from different spiritual texts. </div>

And she is pretty much vegan. She has been eating vegan style macrobiotic for years and rocks a super sporty body. I remember watching all these girls float by on the dance floor, at an Argentine milonga. And I kept staring at one as she was whisked by.......with a super muscular, stealthy body. Well, it was my friend, who was 50 at the time, who was rockin' the milonga that night. </div>

Love the screened in porch. We had to do a pollen cleanup so she could host an after party later. Apparently there is always a layer of pollen on everything & it can be torture for those with allergies.</div>

Cricket has one ear cut a little bit. That's because originally Cricket had been captured, neutered, and released. Well, I guess that some peeps (including my hostess) thought Cricket may not be a "feral" cat forever, or thought he could at least get a shot at a "home" life.</div>

And a few minutes later....a super protein packed midnight treat. I know a lot of peeps don't do a heavy tempeh, soy, protein type of diet. But from the looks of it, it is working for my hostess!! Her kitchen is stocked with loads of fresh veggies, fruits, and tempeh types of quick go to proteins. She eats simply & super clean.</div>

The next morning I went for a run around the campus area. Guess that CNN is pretty close & I kept imagining I would run into Sanjay Gupta. I know, so totally silly, but other than the child murders that happened so long ago, it's just about the only other thing I "attach" to Atlanta! And I think he may be involved with the University?</div>

And here is Pj from <a href="http://www.gatewaypets.com/">www.gatewaypets.com</a> getting some love from Adam and Eve. These were just a couple of the kids we saw this morning, in East St. Louis. Illinois. So many street dogs there. Pj & GPG go daily to feed & care for them. And then rescue as we have fosters & openings at the Emergency Shelter. We are always looking for volunteers, to go out on feedings, plan events, walk the dogs at the shelter on Manchester. We are located in St. Louis City, but our feeding routes are in Illinois, in pretty impoverished areas. Dreary, Rainy Days and feedings with Pj always make me pretty emotional. Well, today sucked because we did NOT see Tony & Elsa, who were slated for rescue awhile back. But their rescue didn't work out & Elsa is pregnant. And then Pj saw them both individually, and they seemed "off". Now it's been days since she has seen either. Hoping they are okay. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Was a Truck Driver making good money. On the road all the time but had decent salary & living "the good life" by eating steaks and indulgent food.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Never really exposed to natural foods, spirituality prior to meeting Dave & Yundit, some trucking "interns". Dave & Youdit Whiting were a young couple that would truck for one year & then go to Naturpathic school for one year. They liked to live debt free & were obviously into natural healing. They were raw vegans & wanted to eat that way on the road. So when they started "training" with Dave, they asked him where they could get food. </div>

*I didn't understand exactly, but sounded like he has a heart condition (but don't know what it is) that is not something one can reverse........and made reference to the fact that he could live 3 weeks OR 3 years OR 30 years, etc....(we all could, obviously) but it seemed implied that his reference to being "at peace" with going "whenever" was kind of in the same paragraph about his "heart condition"</div>

*Initially started with just eating raw & vegan & not paying attention to glycemic levels. He lost loads of weight, but fruits were sometimes still affecting his blood sugars. He talked about if one is not battling disease (he had diabetes), that a normal raw fooder can chow down on fruit & hypothetically blood sugars should be fine. But because he had so much going on with his body, he transitioned to low glycemic raw. Influenced by Gabriel Cousens and sounded like he followed the plan in the Gabriel Cousens book. </div>

*After he started eating/juicing this way, he got several large cysts, and they were leaking? He told his friends that this "diet" wasn't working after all. His friends "high-fived" and apparently told him that this was the "detox" process. </div>

*He said that after he was doing this that he overcame Late Stage 1 or early stage 2 Colon Cancer with no surgery and no radiation. <i>Whether there is/was a relation or not, is up to individual to decide.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
*<a href="http://daveconrardy.com/">Dave</a> was on the road 80 hours a week and still juicing. He would juice every 3 days sometimes. Going to the supermarket & stocking up. He would talk to the staff, let them know he was dying and trying to cure his diseases, and then would ask if they could wash his produce. Sounded like they were always fine with that. Then he would go to a picnic table at a roadstop, or wherever he could find, and pile the table full of all this produce. Sounded like he would drink about a gallon of high green juice a day. For "juice feasting" the "norm" is 12-15 pounds of produce juiced a day. </div>

*Hospital stories.....about saying he was going to juice. They said no. Then he said he would fast. They said no. Everything became a big deal and Dave had everyone on staff from every department make a visit to him. Apparently the end deal was that he would be allowed to have juice carried into him, but that it could be dangerous & introduce bacteria into the hospital. Therefore, he must consume it very quickly and then it must be disposed of in a red container for "toxic & medical" waste that hospitals use.</div>

*He was supposed to be paralyzed.......and initially he was. He was new to the whole natural healing thing, but he already knew about his own experience. He was feeling better. Somehow, something he was doing was working & he had lost weight, overcome cancer & diabetes. In his head he was thinking he could follow this same path. It sounded like the doctors told him he was nuts. And then proceeded to tell him that people who are paralyzed get very depressed and that it could be 3 years before any improvement was made. Then one day he had his friend help him, and he got up and showed off by walking around the entire unit at the hospital. From what I understood, every doctor & nurse just stared at him as he walked by. Their jaws dropped. Then.....apparently there were a lot of staff members trying these green juices (sounded like covertly!). </div>

*The whole "Someone with a 9th Grade Education" line was sprinkled into his talk frequently. Often to make a point. His "point"....that he didn't go to Harvard for 10 years. Yet, he still found a way to help himself overcome tremendous obstacles. Obstacles that our government, gazillions of dollars, thousands of researchers for drug companies, and doctors just "can't overcome". And if he, with only this 9th grade education could figure out (apparently) how to take control of his health, why couldn't the power that be do the same thing.</div>

*The other reason that the 9th grade education line was used was because of an issue with the courts in Washington. Apparently some parents of a hemophiliac wanted help, to encourage some natural healing in their son. From the story, it sounded like the parents came to him-he told them he really didn't have that experience, etc....He obviously couldn't "treat" their child or even really give advice. He could just let them know where information was, or find information & kind of point them in a direction and the parents could pursue it. My understanding was that the parents were using green juices (from grasses) to help thicken the blood. I think they were having it monitored to measure thickness or the body naturally created the correct density. It sounded like the child was doing fine and it had been 3 years. But the doctors freaked that he had been 3 years without meds and were sure that this child would not be okay using this type of healing for the future and that the State? was going to press charges against Dave? It seemed like the parents wanted to continue the natural healing route. So the parents help the child heal without these drugs (or a smaller amount of them?)-is what I heard. The drugs sounded very harsh & then still sounded like it was a bad situation. But the child wasn't using modern medicine and still getting well. Hence the lawsuit? I have heard it time and time again. I have heard it so many times. Actually from people in medicine. If you have a child with cancer and you choose not to do chemotherapy, even if the chemo may not have very good rates of improvement-well-you probably need to have a lawyer. </div>

*Dave is hilarious. He tells his "colonic" story. So funny. Funny the "Okay, this is normal for raw fooders". Maybe a serious plug for Raw Food is this Cosmic Energy thing you apparently get after juicing and getting your Butt Cleaned. But now I am "ChakraThrobbing Curious" and think I have to find a good ButtCleaner in my area. And I might have to borrow that hat & sunglasses. </div>

*Dave has good energy. You know how they say you are lucky if you are miserable. Or sick. Or unhappy. Or hit rock bottom. Because only then you will make a radical change & stick to it? Because only then will you embrace life & shed your fears? Because only then will your passions & your "life's work" be truly revealed to you? Okay, maybe not, "only then".....but often it seems to be the case. If you are doing okay, going along in life......often you don't have the energy or drive to create change. Frequently drive comes from hitting rock bottom. It's not something any of us "hope" for or want for ourselves, our loved ones, or our planet. But sometimes it just seems to happen that way. Dave was making some money. Living quite well. Then getting quite large. Getting quite sick. When Dave & Youdit were talking to him, the part that he "heard" was that he could eat all he wanted and lose weight. Not all the other stuff. But the initial spark was "Eat all you want or anything you want, anytime you want". So he did the raw food thing. Then it sounded like everything went wrong with his health & that he hit rock bottom. His girlfriend had died 3 years earlier from Cancer and he recalled feeling like those treatments were questionable. But shit hit the fan for his own health & he had just been introduced to this lifestyle. He had to make a change. He changed everything. Not all at once, but the lifestyle just started getting into him, and somehow he emerged all of this some radiant light being full of good energy & able to communicate with people. God, can you please make a summer camp so we can send all of our men there? We don't want to go through any of that. But what we do want, is to learn how to live, while we are alive, a beautiful & vibrant life. </div>

Time and time again we see people from all walks of life completely transforming their health, their outlook, their energy. Sounds like some writing projects are in the future. Dave was "not" connected to the Web until about 7 months ago. Unreal, right? He is all over it on YouTube & Raw Food Sites, but he didn't know what that meant. Well, now he is connected and kind of aware of that "torch". Sounded like people were constantly calling him for advice, interviews, etc...and he was very reluctant to become some "role model" or gain that type of "fame". He didn't want to be the "go to" guy. But then how did he find out about all of this?? It was from another guy that was dying & apparently saved his own life. It was through Dave & Yundit. It seemed that something clicked and Dave realized that this must be his calling. All of this happened to him for a reason & he is supposed to be telling people about his own experiences. And we are thankful that he is. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My aunts, mum & I had a "sister" reunion at the first Midwest <a href="http://bhaktifest.com/">"Bhaktifest"</a>. What's Bhaktifest? Depends on who you ask! Basically nearly non-stop kirtan music at the outdoor stage. All types of physical yoga, some classes with music. Talks about environmentalism. Yoga Sutras. Eating Raw/Vegan. Gong Baths (no water involved :). Ganesh, Shiva & Parvati stories. So a mish-mash of anything/everything yoga related. Had no idea what to expect. And now lusting over glow in the dark hulas and Baggy hemp pants. Tie Dyed of course :)</div>

So many different Kirtan bands playing. Only wished there was a shadier or indoor venue. The sun alone prevented me (and I am sure many others) from attending more daytime kirtan events. There was no shade and it was hot and sunny. Yeah, I know that our "body" isn't supposed to matter. But my "body" doesn't want anybody carving it up to remove suspicious looking moleson it from soaking up too much sun. (I totally overdosed in my youth.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you don't know what kirtan is....It is chanting the names of God. But typically, Hindu God/s. I say God or Gods, because sometimes there are many names/forms of one God. I know, people think there are "all of these" Gods, but just think about how Christianity has the Trinity-Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, and they are all One, the same thing. Well.....to me, there is an awful lot of that going on in other religions as well. It is just not always to see the commonalities when we were taught to view other religions so differently from the ones that are prevelant in our own country. So are these all these people at the kirtan Hindus? Um, nope. There are likely some Hindus in the crowd. I think of Kirtan as music. It is spiritual music. It is meaningful music, and it probably means something a little different to everyone. But no, Kirtan at <i>festivals like this</i>, are not "Hindu Events". And yes, you might hear a Hare Krishna chant, but that is just <i>one</i> of the many chants. It is also <i>not </i>a Hare Krishna event. Yes, there are both Hindus and Hare Krishna people there. But there is just a little bit of everything there including Catholics, Jews (not Orthodox), Jains, Pagans, Unitarians, Agnostics............It's odd, but really very cool. </div>

I stuck with indoor daytime events. Like <a href="http://www.synphorium.com/ocean.html">Preston Klick's GongHealing.</a> The <a href="http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-5844/Sound-Therapy-The-Role-of-Gongs.html">Gong Bath</a> (we all went to this). Yep. A man and his wife (He did gongs, she had long blonde hair, flowing clothes, and did brain healing) did this one together. You lay down. He plays Gongs. The room vibrates. You are "bathed" in this ocean of sound that starts with nothing and works up to a crazy climatic gong high, likely integrated with the man screaming (most likely releasing energy??) and she walks around and rubs scalps and helps to healed our cooked cerebral cortexes. I couldn't help but wonder what their home life was like. I mean, my husband drinks beer, eats vegan pizza, and watches football. I personally couldn't imagine what their evenings might look like? My mom (seriously never making jaded remarks-I got THAT from my dad), said, "They probably fight all the time". Ha. Who knows. I adored the Gong Bath. Yeah. Some stuff & Vibes get a little "new agey" for me. But I love sound. And experiences. So it is just a really cool experience to just let all that sound vibrate your body. In addition, most "new agey" type of stuff is really just ideas extracted from really ancient stuff. But if you ever get a chance to go to a gong bath (yes you are fully clothed!), do it. If nothing else, it's interesting. And it prompted me to change my wake-up alarm to the "gong" setting! And for the record...I loved it. I have a tendency to freak out a little when people "talk" about art, music, poetry too much. I just like to do it. I just hate intellectualizing art. </div>

And <a href="http://www.davidnewmanmusic.com/index1.html">Durga Das (aka David Newman)</a>. Great guy. Non pretentious. Flannel Shirt & Jeans guy. Usually has his wife sing with him, but I believe that she had a family issue so was not able to come. Enjoyed the kirtan.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also went to what somehow we all kept calling the "eco terrorist" man talk as well. My mum thought the bio sounded interesting. Okay, so it was interesting. But in a weird way. So I had read in some true "Yoga girl Goes to India" type of story (there are SEVERAL), about "eye gazing". Guess what? We got to eye gaze. So partway into the talk, we are instructed to get up and walk around the room. (He also lets us know we can stay seated, but he doesn't say what is to come when he offers that!!). We are supposed to be looking at people or just keeping our eyes open or something?? While walking. Then....we are supposed to "find" a partner. Somehow this guy & I are the last 2 people left. I look over at my mum (who has been to a load of zen, Buddhist, retreat, yoga, blah, blah, blah, events before and while she is SUPER shy, She is not an eye gazing virgin. ) You know what "eye gazing" means to me? Okay, in my city it is don't look anybody in the fucking eye, or you might get shot. Or, at a milonga it is don't look at anybody in the fucking eye, because you are there to listen to live music and nothing else, and if you make eye contact "he" will come to ask you to dance. Except that "dance" may not be "open" embrace and it might be close embrace and some people's close embrace might involve a sweaty old crotch attempting to grind you or some creep thinking your ass is a way to steer you-partly because he can't lead worth a damn, and partly because he just wants to be up in there and learned to dance because he knows there is a world wide shortage of good leads. Oh, and eye gaze could mean you want to take a coffee. Which apparently means fuck. So you know what, I haven't looked anyone in the eye, for years, with any sort of penis. Yeah, even strap on. :)))). Okay, I have to drop ALL of that because we are in some "eco" talk & I am supposed to be thinking about how the earth is being destroyed by us and how we are killing all of the animals and how all of these deeper concerns are really occupying the apartment in my head, when all I can think about it, I don't want to gaze into any one's eyes. No. Uncomfortable. Yikes. </div>

<i>This video is not from BhaktiFest.....but is used in another context here. I know my mom has done this practice in yoga classes, and not in a dating/sexual/attraction sort of way at all. But it does seem to invite an openness to vulnerability.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the last man standing & myself sit down across from each other. I breathe deeply and see my mum not hyperventilating across the room. Arrgh. She already knows how to do this. I don't remember the order of events. But we were basically supposed to be staring into each other's eyes while the teacher (we called him eco terrorist man, I am not sure why, but that is what we called him for the whole time) talked about imagining that we are sitting across from another soul that was deeply concerned about the earth. The planet. Mother Nature. That this soul was so concerned and had so much love for the planet, the earth, living things, that this soul was in this room today. That this soul hurt. Suffered pain from knowing what was happening in the world and not being able to do anything about it. About a place that this person cared deeply about and what may be happening to it because of pollution, environmental damage, carelessness, and lack of respect. All while gazing into the other person's eyes. Wow. Okay, this was really weird and at the same time somewhat cool. A new experience. But I was still scared shitless. And the teacher kept talking. And all of a sudden, many people burst into tears. Not fake, I am having a melodramatic experience tears. But this explosion of emotion. Just this kind of release, outpouring of emotion from this "soul gazing". </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>And yet another context...."Speed Eye Gazing" as a Dating Technique??</i></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wasn't in a relaxed enough state to let too much vulnerability penetrate my nervousness. But I was trying to soak it all in, while trying not to be too freaked out that I was staring into this stranger's eyes for a really long time. And then I tried to let go for a bit. And yes, most likely there was a male across from me that truly loved Mother Earth and woke up each day, really thinking about & feeling pain & suffering much from all the things that were happening to Mother Earth. All the things that we could not just change. Not just make go away. And so my jaded self vacated the BrainApartment for a bit & allowed my SevenYearOldSelf (before I became jaded and I was just happy all the time and sat outside and read copious amounts of books and didn't know there was anything wrong with the world) to live in the BrainApartment, or at least rent out the space for the duration of this workshop. Anyway, I don't know what I thought about all of it. It could have gone either way. But I felt that I was really sitting across from a good soul who was committed to the exercise and nothing more, and that in any case, the whole thing made me very uncomfortable until I just settled into it-or what I say, just surrendered. And then it maybe was very very cool. But I would still be nervous about repeating the experience. It is bizarre to stare into someones eyes for that long of a time, without any sort of knowledge of the person, but then you are looking past the person, the body, etc...and gazing into "the soul, their soul, the oneness" or something like that?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At one point we were instructed to have one person talk for a certain amount of time about a place that they care deeply about and how it is being affected by environmental factors. The other partner was supposed to just sit there and still look into their eyes and just listen to the other person's love of this place and their concerns for it's future. That was weird. I hate talking by myself and actually have someone pay full attention to me. It was awful and I got stage fright about what I was going to say and all that other stuff. All of this stuff was new to me and I am an UberShy girl. At the same time, sometimes I thrive on forced uncomfortableness.............and now I am at least glad for the experience. </div>

We also all went to a talk about some of the Gods and Goddesses and the stories behind them (abbreviated versions) and how to find the ones that speak to us by being around the deities and picking up on the energy. The man giving the speech actually told the story about a young man who picked up a Ganesh for his girlfriend (I think that's how the story went), and was pretty cynical about the whole thing-but then the story went on and we discovered Ganesh had helped the young man in the end and that the "young man" ended up turning into a Yogi & Musician that we know as MC Yogi!</div>

My mum & I went to an ayurvedic talk. Not on purpose. We thought it was the EcoMan one. But no.......And the man giving it was very Kapha. And I'm not. It was a lot of talking, and It was a lot of Ayurveda & Kapha. And I was a little tired. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We hit some yoga classes too. One with live music (which is nearly always a good thing in my book) and FamousMaleYogaTeacher. He is kind of a yoga star and I didn't really know that much about him. Basically when he first opened his mouth and started talking I immediately thought he was the type that had a lot of female followers (of course most of them are, right!!)....but you know.......So he was completely smooth & ran a great class that was a yoga & music "experience". Okay, but my first impression was that he was a "YogaStud" and I am more drawn to OldWiseYogaWoman. I am jaded. Oh, and I am a realist. Oh, and I do have some sort of general distrust of really smooth, confident men in the YogaWorld. There are so many tight PranaPants and PushedUpYogaBoobs and SuperCutYogaTri's and all while sucking up that root chakra (only strenghtening that sexual yogic muslce).........that it would take a true Saint not to capitalize on all that SexualYogaEnergy being thrown around in classes like this. And everyone lets loose because generally YogaRooms are primarily women. And we think we are supposed to "let it all go", release the tension, blah, blah, blah, ALL the same things you need for the BigO, you need for the BigR (Relaxation). At one point we were just gyrating our hips, boobs, butts, bodies to a wild drum beat and FamousYogaTeaher's SmoothVoice. SeriousEstrogenOverload in the Room. Then we were all "shaking". First we start with one body part and just kept adding more, all to this driving beat. Something about tapping into the NativeAmericanEnergySpiritMovement. So we were all shaking everything, all over, the room. And there was a group of musicians and FamousYogaTeacher Grooving. Watching. Again. While I am somewhat hesitant to gyrate anything except in front of my husband (can you tell I could never be a lap dancer??)-I just did it and pretended all the men were gay. Ha. They weren't, but I had to pretend to even go there. So the shaking thing feels pretty cool, yes. And it's kind of cool to do it in a room full of other people and tap into some sort of energy. But I think I would have been more comfortable if no male energy was watching all this female energy fly all around the room. Once again...very fun....cool...love the music. But I am JadedYogaGirl and somehow think that many of HotYogaTeachers aren't preserving their SexualEnergy or practicing TantricSex, but just acting on lust and creating dramas and messes and dramas and messes. Maybe I am just jaded? Maybe I am just a realist. And it's not all of anybody, I am sure. But just an energy I get sometimes.........In addition to the fact that there are constantly new revelations about SaidYogaTeacherHotFamousOrJustFamous using/abusing their YogaPower. Yoga Teachers fill a weird, ambiguous function in the States. Such a cross into spirituality, texts, religion, etc.....and they get followers. And there are often stories of misconduct. Melodrama. Messes. Breaking Trust. That is why I go for the OlderYogaWiseWoman. The ones I know won't be tweeting their Va-Jay-Jay's or probably won't be risking it all to score a hot young lad-probably.......Okay, class was fun & well directed. I didn't get all spiritual in it or anything. Way too much tight BootyShaking for that. </div>

Note: There are many Yoga Teachers, Presenters from which to choose at events like this! So you can choose the peeps, events in which you feel most drawn. You don't have to go to any power yoga classes. You don't have to go to a talk about deities. There are so many offerings at one time, that you just choose what <i>you</i> want to do.</div>

Mum & I got scrambled Tofu & Potatoes. Green Owl has a big menu and I really wanted to try their jackfruit burritos and some raw food dishes. But this was a Brunch day, and so they had a pretty small & fixed menu. Basically this was the Gluten Free Vegan option.........Like that place a lot, but would be much better to go on a non-brunch day so you can try all the super cool stuff they usually offer!</div>

These were the goodies I picked up before the Krishna Das concert.<br />
Balinese Cacao Cashew Cluster. OMG. So amazing, but seriously, it was "Candy". My aunts loved it (and so did I), until we saw the caloric content. And I don't even really pay attention to calories, it was just SO much. Added (unrefined) sugars and obviously the cacao & the cashews, put that little treat in the "not going to eat everyday" category. Was divine while it lasted! Raw Vegan Caraway crackers.......with a primary ingredient being cabbage. And the GreenSpirit Salt & Vinegar Kale Chips.</td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was concerned with the food prior to going to the event. We would all be staying in one hotel and I didn't know what would be around of what the mini-kitchen would have. Turned out great. My aunt made an amazing black rice salad & gazpacho. I brought a cooler of fresh fruit. My mom brought fruits and some other goodies. And the hotel had a mini fridge, a sink, and a coffeemaker. They also had an endless supply of hot water downstairs. Perfect for my thermoses of Yerba Mate.</span></td></tr>

I discovered this place Sunday night, the last night of the festival. Really, a stand that sells sprouts by the ounce and has WheatGrass Shots? Um, amazing. I will doing grass shots the whole weekend next time! In addition, after I told them I lived in St. Louis, the guys at the booth started talked about the Cahokia Mounds and Dragon Caves (in Illinois). And underground pyramids. ? They were fun.</div>

Love. Kombucha & Yerba Mate in one stand? Locally Brewed Kombucha at that. Was going to hit this tent later to give it a try. My mom & I walked up & there were a few people chatting. And the guy at the tent who was "taking orders" was talking to a young, very muscular yogi about spirituality. Hmmm....interesting, what comes next? KombuchaStud "Wow, I can tell you are in really great shape. I mean, it obviously enhanced your spirituality/inner growth". MuscleYogi "It's all just yoga", she seems to be trying to shrug it off, and perhaps just really wanted a cking Kombucha. But you had to love the pick up lines. Anyhow, he was pretty focused on trying to talk this chic-clearly because she was so deeply spiritual. Saw that was going nowhere, so took a detour. Did get to try my aunt's Kombucha later-and yes, it's a good brew. All flirting aside.</div>

<a href="http://www.krishnadas.com/">Krishna Das</a> did an indoor Kirtan the last day (Sunday). Love how the musician on stage is taking a photo of the audience while I am taking mine :) This event was billed as a "workshop", but really it was KD talking & regular kirtan (call & response). KD is pretty much a rock star in the yoga world now. He is played in yoga classes around the world & the KirtanMan around the globe. I personally adore him. His stories are so great, really funny, and he possesses so much insight but and delivers it without the sometimes seemingly pretense that accompanies a lot of this kind of "spiritual talk". His dress & style is simple. His body is not decorated with obvious tattoos, piercings, no Indian clothes or the wearing of all white to "catch the energy". Not that there is anything wrong with any of the above. And he makes references to watching late night tv. He just seems to put it all out there, not attempting to be some guru or anyone "higher" than this American guy who had some really incredible experiences when he was younger. He isn't ultra "suave" or the type of guy that seems to put out the message that he wants a million yogis bowing to him. His voice & message speak for itself. </div>

He also opened the floor for questions. Pretty much from the getgo. First one was from a gal in the front row who asked something about how her son choosing to leave the planet was supposed to help her practice. Wow. Not really an easy starter. KD (yeah, that's what all the cool kids call him), allowed the space to breathe for several minutes. Then he calmly responded. Not by having "an answer" at all. By kind of saying (obviously what I "heard"), that for whatever reason her son was not able to exist here anymore. That it was terribly difficult and he offered his condolences. I don't know how he did it, but somehow he mustered up a completely eloquent and meaningful response.....once again........not trying to be a "guru" at all. But it kind of comes with the territory. Of his experiences. People ask him questions. Open up to him. Of course I don't really know him at all, but it appears that he has no intent on thriving on that "power" or abusing the fact that people are naturally drawn to him for some sort of "advice". He is really quite funny. Quite serious and no bones about it when it comes to the important stuff. But quite grounded and has been through it all himself.....and obviously still going through it. </div>

<a href="http://davestringer.com/">Dave Stringer.</a> The last night. Such an odd combination of music. Just wasn't sure if I really liked it or if it just was too "heavy metal" for me. Really, the Kali tune seemed like there needed to be a mosh pit. So basically the age old artistic question-how much altering of an idea is cool? Or maybe he doesn't alter the idea, but the sometimes heavy metal accompaniment to an old Sanskrit Chant.....Loved some of the fusion though. So in the end I shrugged my shoulders and just enjoyed it, but I was seriously puzzled and taken off guard for a moment!! There was a couple in front of us jumping up and down and pointing at each other yelling Kali whenever her name came up in the tune. They were about 30, white, casual boho gear, and doing the Kali groove. It really seemed like a fusion of a Rock/Dead/Phish scene maybe? Except there were really so many older, a bit more reserved yogi peeps there as well. Truly a diverse audience in age. I did not see the diversity in color and I am not sure about economic groups. Overall, it seems this type of crowd is generally educated. Even if some may roll their eyes at advanced degrees, I kind of get the idea that most people came from educated (in the traditional sense) places. Just a hunch?</div>

I really didn't think we were going to stay for the closing ceremony. Just sounds so bureaucratic. Um, it wasn't. First the organizers came out & talked about how great it went. And how there was some doubt that a Bhakti Fest could make it in the Midwest. Usually it's just something people fly over to get to their coasts. But I think there was so much value to having something like this in a place that is slightly more grounded. I haven't gone to the other yoga events on the coasts, but apparently some of them have a different feel. Even though we may all be "the same", often the New York/Boston & LA crowd has a different energy. Madison is a funky place. Really just enough going on to be content, yet it feels a little more earthy and a little less tolerant of so much "yoga bling". I could be completely off base, but it felt like they really tried to make this an authentic event. There were not LuluLemon booths & no ubercommerical "food bars" and I don't think I saw any YogaJournal magazines. It had a little bit more of a grassroots feeling, and guessing that was super intentional. Maybe because that was their "marketing" plan, or maybe because they truly wanted to more carefully pick their businesses. Have no idea, but either way, I'll take it. </div>

And my skin dreads it. While I adore the "feel" of sun on my body, I really overdid it when I was little & need to take special care now. So usually I have to bathe in these disgustingly white sports sunblocks to go running, walking the dogs, or whatever else brings me out to play in the solar universe. I hate the stupid sunblock. Most of it it totally white & gross & greasy. The stuff I really like, isn't for sports or water or anything active. It is just for "everyday" use. So I am still looking for some halfway decent, halfway normal looking (so I am not actually painting my body white!!! Or I should just go for the goth look maybe!!) sunblock, that actually performs in the sun!!</span></span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Coolibar was awesome enough to send me one of these Bamboo blend summer hoodies to review. I am always in search of "sun clothing" that actually "lasts" & isn't completely dorky. Although I have some non-sun specialty brands as well, I never really "trust" the UPF unless it is coming from a company that actually specializes in it. Sometimes places even "apply" a UPF that "wears" out of the clothing after multiple washes. <i><b>Not</b></i> Coolibar! The other problem with "sun clothes" is that they are usually made for much older people, who actually pay attention to this stuff, because they have already experienced some form of skin cancer and/or they have lived long enough to truly know that our body has to carry us through this whole life. We don't get another one if we wear the first one out. So the clothes tend to be geared toward a more mature crowd. Coolibar kind of breaks this "mold" and truly creates a line that could appeal to any age. They have countless sun hats/suits/glasses for the little ones. Surf Shorts & all sorts of other active clothing for your man. And loads of styles for "girls" 18-80. And they have many "seals of approval" from the Skin Cancer/Dermatology Peeps.</span></div>

I love that they have a multitude of fabrics from which to choose!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Zno Suntect-Cotton & Bamboo/spandex (just a bit for stretch) blend. Light & Breathable & doesn't get smelly with multiple wearings!!!! ::)) This Zno Split Rock Hoodie is a pullover sweatshirt that is for summery weather. Eighties super comfy. Nineties fine if not exercising a ton. These aren't the ones designed for "extreme" heat, but they do "breathe" super well & I think I like the bamboo blends that are just slightly heavier-in comparison to the Poly blends. I think the top is pretty cute & love that it has a hood. So if you get stuck in the UV without your hat, you can at least protect your scalp a bit & provide a little more shade. This retails for $59.00 which is also a deal for "Real UPF". Seriously, some of these clothes are a little pricey, but SO much cheaper than constantly applying truly environmentally friendly, healthy, safe sunblocks!! Which don't even "fully" protect us!! I adore the hoody & will be looking into their other bamboo blends!! I had tried on the "Active" Pants in the past, which are basically Yoga Capri Swim trunks-but they were not as I expected. The waist was too high and the stye was a little mature for my taste right now (at age 40!). </div>

As for their Sizing-I take XS. It seems these places generally size larger.....So I personally wouldn't go up from my normal size. They don't do "teen" sizes and pretend it's normal! But I have no boobs, so if you have big boobs, your normal size may still fit, but you might have to refer to their sizing chart just to make sure!</div>

And the SunnySpot in my day......Gateway Pet Guardians (www.gatewaypets.com) was able to trap Rebel today. Pj & GPG go every single day of the year to East St. Louis (and now Washington Park, Illinois-USA) to feed the stray dogs & cats. They are fed, cared for, and rescued. They always need foster homes, money, volunteers, and love!! Rebel has a terribly embedded collar & is super skinny now. She is very shy, yet was getting pretty close to one of our volunteers today-because she is starving. So happy that Rebel will get a new chance at life. I don't know if she will have to have the collar (tied in knots) surgically removed or not, but now she is a bit of a mess. Poor thing. Such a sweet doll. We only saved one today, but for Rebel, that means the world. It is heartbreaking that others are not saved. It is heartbreaking that we cannot save every single plant, animal, human that is suffering. But we can save one. And there is some joy in that. Rebel is going to get all fixed up, get adjusted a little bit, and then probably be looking for a foster & forever home. If you are in the St. Louis (or nearby area) Missouri (USA) area-let us know if you are interested in meeting Rebel!!</div>

Sacha Vida sent me some Seeds to try in exchange for an honest review. I LOVE seeds! And this is my new Favorite Seed. I adore nuts, seeds, and anything sweet, salty, and with fat. These new "wonder" seeds fit the bill. Touted They pair wonderfully with my Yerba Mate. Both very earthy tasting, and totally addictive. I tried out the roasted, roasted & salted, and chocolate covered. They look like peanuts/almonds and was totally anticipating something pretty mild & run of the mill. However, was totally surprised and delighted that such a small seed packs in such a great amount of flavor! They are pricer than other seeds, however, I have cut way back on my fat intake & so will probably indulge in these from time to time. </div>

The flavor is indescribable. Hubby said "earthy". That's the best I could come up with as well. But they seem to be saying "Savor Me". Can a seed be "robust"? I think a great snack for wine or mate. Uber Healthy & has that happy thing going on with the tryptophan!</div>

I didn't think I could love any Vegan Style Indian book more than her first one (The Indian Slow Cooker), but this is just as great! SO excited about this ALL VEGAN book!! So many veggies including kale, okra, sweet potatoes, cabbage. Soups & Breads. Salads that sound amazing-think spicy fruits, carrots, daikons! Slow Cooker & Stovetop recipes. Can't wait to make the South Indian Crepes. The dishes are already very healthy with emphasis on whole foods & dried beans. Anupy uses small amounts of oil and salt. I have found that you can skip both of those and still have great food. Last night we had the Kale Pizza breads-a super quick snack. Oh, and it has Anupy's best on the planet Chai recipe. And the drink section includes Iced Coffee & Green Drinks-for those of us who don't just do one or the other! Very inexpensive on Amazon and a lifetime of Indian food. Ingredients are inexpensive. Now should I whip up another dish with the cabbage before hubby comes home....decisions.....</span></span></span></div>

Fabulous thing about slow cooking is that you cut up all those great things like cabbage, garlic, onions, etc...and then it takes time for the slow cooker to heat.

We all hear about "the enzymes", right? Tim VanOrden was the first person (followed up by evidence outlined in Brenda Davis's book) that alerted me to the fact that raw foods are truly better for us because of what we are NOT getting. The PAH's, the AGE's, and other nasty stuff that happens to our food (and the toxins on it), when exposed to heat. Not to discredit the "enzyme" theories, and both may be true. However, we have real scientific evidence regarding AGE's and PAH's and not as much about Prana or a consensus on what happens when food hits our gut. However, the raw fooders seem to be "right" about the enzymes on certain foods. And in that group" Cruciferous Veggies. You know those "C" fighters? Well they may not fight the "C" very much, UNLESS prepared properly. Bummer, because NO ONE I know cuts their broccoli and waits 40 minutes prior to preparation. </div>

Summary of the Video Above</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Sulforaphane is basically inactivated by cooking. So the good stuff in your cruciferous veggies.......well, steaming doesn't give the most bang for your buck. </li>
<li>One would have to eat 10 cups of cooked broccoli to get the same amount of sulforaphane in 1 cup of raw broccoli.</li>
<li>OR you can Chop the Raw Broccoli up first, then wait 40 minutes for the enzymes to do their thing, and then you can "cook the heck out of it". (But who does this??)</li>
<li>PreChopped Broccoli might be better than the florets, because it has been chopped up & the enzymes have done their job already.</li>
<li>And in another part of Dr G's Video Series, we learn that Broccoli Sprouts are the cheapest way to get your broccoli!</li>

Yes, I have every raw recipe book on the planet, nearly. Yes, I have a shelf of vegetarian/vegan cookbooks. No, in general, I don't use them. Other than the Indian Cookbooks (because I don't have the experience/background to improvise wisely on those), it seems that I simply cannot or will not, follow a recipe. I used to spend hours pouring over books & then make lengthy lists to have exact ingredients. Now it's basics. So used to eating a lot of raw food that when I do make cooked food, it is as simple as it gets. So this is one example. Which could either be all raw, all cooked, a mixture, and whatever veggies you want.</div>

Hubby's GoTo sauce. He used to buy the traditional brand of Sriracha, but I would <i>never</i> eat that. I rarely sneak this either, because I hate that it is in plastic. But it is delicious & made by Organicville & very expensive for Sriracha. "Regular" sriracha also comes in plastic AND has Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Bisulfite, and Xanthan Gum. I am just tired of plastic, BPA's and places putting sht that isn't food, into food. Just tired of it. Not like I am a major fan of a** cleansing, so I try not to put too much stuff in my body that requires heavy duty cleaning to get out-if it even comes out. Heard somewhere that Plastic can make you fat too....So if health isn't a scare, you know I don't want to eat something that encourages fat POST 40!</div>

Quinoa & Veggies. 1 cup dry quinoa to 2 cups water in a pot. Bring to boil. Then cover & simmer for about 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork. I grated carrots in the Salad Shooter, cut up dates, red peppers from the garden, 2 hot peppers. Steamed one bag broccoli and one bag asparagus. Then I mix it all together. The only seasoning I put on mine was a small amount of sea salt & a fair amount of cayenne. Hubby uses sriracha. And that's it! Of course you could put anything to season, onions, garlic, pepper, no salt seasoning blends, herbs de Provence, sesame seeds or oil. I just served as is, a mixture of hot & cold. But it's great all cold. I prefer to make these things all raw, but I generally don't have quinoa sprouting, and if I do, then I manage to forget it and let it get moldy. Quinoa is a fabulous gluten free, high protein food. <br />

To do it all raw I would have had sprouted quinoa. Soak & then sprout until there are "tails". And I would have the same raw grated carrots, dates, red peppers & hot peppers. For the broccoli you can put in food processor or cut finely. Asparagus, the same way. However, the broccoli is just to fill up. For the broccoli to pull it's guns out, (according to current studies), it needs to either be eaten raw. Or it needs to be chopped up, let sit out for about 40 minutes, and then cook. So who does that, right? So sprouts are where it's at for cost/benefit value & broccoli. </div>

Think they should be thin crepes, in/on which you can scoop up your dals, chutneys, or whatever other delight you may have in front of you. I made them thicker because of my attempts at making without much oil and also I really stink at making anything resembling pancakes.</div>

I made these in a cast iron pan, just because it resists burning that way. First attempted with zero oil, but then I had to add a touch, just to get the pan oiled a bit. If you have some spectacular, green, safe non stick type of cookware-then you could probably do it sin oil.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Jane Velez Mitchell, fellow vegan, is unafraid to tackle the big stuff. No one would touch these types of stories years ago, but with social media and increased awareness, it is now becoming actually "okay" to discus this. Of course "they" want to make laws that make it illegal to photograph factory farms, and of course do any type of undercover work. So no photos of the farms please folks, but apparently in the states anyone with any type of mental record or hate group involvement can buy any type of gun/assault weapon. What I love is that you can't grow sustainable hemp, say anything about the agricultural industry that would affect their profit, or not wear seatbelts in your car. But green light on the guns. We are very pragmatic people.</div>

<div>
If wanna be Vegans, Wanna be Cholesterol Free Sandwich eaters, Fast Food Addicts, or people who are boycotting the "Eat More Cock" place want a "Chicken Sandwich"-this link is for you. Vegans always boycott Chick-fil-a because of the suffering they cause animals. So we didn't alter any routines in either direction for the hoopla about "traditional" marriage. From what I can tell, "traditional" means marriage between a man and a woman. The man spends hours a day surfing online porn, tweets his privates, gets hookers across the state lines, has multiple mistresses, and hanging out at lesbian bondage clubs on the RNC's dime. Traditional Marriage of Politicians. So obviously, all other marriage is flat out wrong. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
And another Jane Velez Mitchell spot. Yes. The ChickenDisaster again. What is so ridiculous about all of this is that we have a lot of issues going on in our country (U.S.) and that most Americans don't ever protest anything. But that the largest "protest" that I have seen in awhile, across that nation, that is actually publicized (Democracy Now not included)-is to eat fast food for a day. It's like drunks "protesting" a vote by drinking a bottle of JB. But fried chicken suddenly makes everyone an activist. I think Weight Watchers should have just had free signups right there-to work the line. Or maybe Dr. Oz could have done his surprise "checks" and get some vitals on the protestors. Slightly apathetic if "protesting" in the States is to eat at a fast food joint. <br />

Fruit for depression? If that's the case, then the entire country should be growing fruit and not GMO corn & soy!! Sure, some drugs can boost the serotonin levels, but do you ever actually listen to the entire "effects" list on those TV ads? Maybe a "safer" approach is needed. Especially since so many people don't even have medical insurance! And you don't need a script to buy fruit!</div>

According to the studies cited in the video:<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
High Veggies, fruits, shrooms, and soy have been associated with lower rates of depression. Leafy greens and fruit (Doug Graham, eat your heart out, no wonder you are so happy!) have been implicated in better behavior & better mental health in early adolescence. Why??<br />

Serotonin is in plants. But it does not (alone) cross the blood brain barrior. But Tryptophan, apparently does. Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin. Looks like people got pretty pissy when they didn't get enough tryptophan (in experiments with a low/no tryptophan diet). What about those pills you can just pick up at a supplement store? It sounds like there have been some deaths that were related to this supplement. However, Dr. G notes that it could be due to a dietary impurity. Meaning, maybe some type of contamination, etc....However..........there are pill free ways to amp up that tryptophan.</div>

Tryptophan..........Most people think of Turkey or Milk. According to these studies, tryptophan is only in small quantities in animal foods, and is muscled out. However, according to this, the carbohydrates in plant foods allow the tryptophan to be better absorbed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the Video: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"When Trypotphan is ingested as part of a protein meal, serum tryptophan levels rise but brain tryptophan levels decline. This paradoxical relationship is due to the mechanism of transport used by tryptophan to cross the blood-brain barrier."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The tryptophan in the turkey, cheese, egg breakfast dropped. The waffle, OJ group-the levels went up. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>And carbon rich, protein poor evening meals actually improved PMS! After carbs? The serotonin increases. So peeps with PMS may actually "over"eat carbs to try and improve their bad moods.....</i></div>Get Skinny, Go Vegan.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06973914105867913930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193462691182567193.post-51292139043857130332012-08-02T08:41:00.007-07:002012-08-02T08:41:28.419-07:00Vegan Recipes!

<a href="http://www.shape.com/healthy-eating/meal-ideas/5-raw-food-recipes?page=2">Shape Magazine</a> is flirting with some raw, nearly vegan recipes. Just swap out the honey for a vegan sweetener of your choice. My choice is coconut sugar or date paste. Skip the bee pollen! So these are kind of run of the mill raw dishes. You know, the kind that are high in nuts. However......it is all perspective. Because if you are currently eating regular desserts with sugar & butter & the works-well this stuff is going to be a delicious mecca that still has fat, but plant based. So your arteries may be happier. A lot of people flirt with the raw food diet & initially eat dishes like these all of the time. And they may lose weight, a lot of it! Just because if you are truly only eating raw foods, then you are eliminating so much junk-that the plant fats aren't going to ruin you. So while people may have an initial weight loss of astounding numbers-the scale might eventually get stuck. If I wanted to lose weight on a rawish diet, I would reduce the fat intake somewhat. So while I love a good raw vegan cheezecake just as much as the next person, I try not to eat it daily! For the wiring in my body.....trying to keep those pipes clean!</div>

McCloud is in Washington Park, Illinois. Pj adores this guy. Sometimes Pj & GPG feed over 16 dogs in a very small area of Washington Park. The area with strip clubs, debris, and abandoned homes. And we call other places "third world countries"?? It's absolutely crazy that these cities exist in these states of squalor, pollution, and amount of government corruption. It's pretty dismal. But apparently the Hustler Club is a strong enough draw to bring in guys for Bachelor Parties & whatever else. Doesn't matter the size of paycheck or color of skin or language spoken. Women's bodies are bought & sold everywhere. No exception here. We see another lady walking around this whole area collecting cans daily. Sometimes there are a few dogs that follow her around. There are some streets that have only a couple of inhabited homes. Often it's difficult to tell if there are people living in the houses.</div>

Time to christen a new mate gourd. This was from WholeFoods! I have fried 3 computer keyboards from spilling other gourds, the gourds with the wire rimmed holders. Luckily we had old keyboards and they are about 25 bucks. But that is why I can't get a laptop. Yerba Mate is the tea I drink.....It is not officially a "tea", but close enough. People traditionally drink it from a gourd, but first you must "cure" the gourd.......I drink<a href="http://guayaki.com/"> Guayaki Air Dried San Mateo</a>. I say that, just because the majority of mates are actually smoked prior to being sold-that creates that gaucho flavor. But that also makes PAH's, which aren't so great for the bod. So truly air dried mate may be quite healthful for you. But the smoked mate leaves too many unanswered questions in my book. And I have already done enough bad stuff to my body!</div>

Just love getting articles like this, <a href="http://ow.ly/cwUlt">Meatless Mondays</a>, on my social media pages. Just another reason why I bow to the Gods daily and praise all of them for the USDA and it's total integrity for acting as Good American Christians and putting people over profit. Okay, so truly, I didn't bat an eye, because I am a jaded sarcastic Vegan who has little or no faith in what a bunch of old suits come up with-I know their Cock Ain't Comin' up On it's own though-Ain't no way WitheredWeiners can ComeToAttention with all that CloggingCockJuice they drink. </div>

The USDA's "Meatless Monday" suggestion to its employees was rather short lived—apparently thanks to Republican outrage over the vegetarian-for-a-day idea. Sen. Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, for one, had this to say: "I will eat more meat on Monday to compensate for stupid USDA recommendation [about] a meatless Monday," Likewise, Sen. John Thune, offered his take: "Who at USDA thought 'Meatless Mondays' was [a] good idea? Anti-[agriculture] agenda at USDA is irresponsible, even for a day."</i></span></div>

<i>"How will going meatless one day of the week help the environment? The production of meat, especially beef (and dairy as well), has a large environmental impact. According to the U.N., animal agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gases and climate change. It also wastes resources. It takes 7,000 kg of grain to make 1,000 kg of beef. In addition, beef production requires a lot of water, fertilizer, fossil fuels, and pesticides. In addition there are many health concerns related to the excessive consumption of meat."</i></div>

Sharpei Mix and Friend. The black dog in this video wasn't seen for a few days. Now she has both front legs badly injured and she needs an emergency rescue. Pj tried to get her the last time out, but she was still able to outrun Pj in a very wooded area. She will need medical attention & then a foster home.<br />

Rebel is a doll. She hasn't been seen lately, but there is hope. Sometimes we don't see a dog for a year, and then they show up again. Although, often the story ends in a more melancholy tone. Or we just never find out what happens. In any event, we want to have a foster for this doll, if we are blessed enough to find her.<br />

Pj found out these puppies are actually claimed. However, they are always running loose in the streets so she makes sure that she stops & gives them hugs, kisses, and a steady supply of food.<br />

PuraVegan. In St. Louis, Missouri-United States. Barbecue Pizza. Had zero idea what to expect. Um, amazing. I went home & made raw bbq sauce for a week afterwards! Lots of food and the crust was dense. Very filling, and that's no BS. I hate "light" dishes as I am a powerhouse eater & can't stand it when there are a few pretty sprouts with some "raw" dressing and some nuts and it's called a burger or something. But PuraVegan totally delivers & I have been to a fair number of Raw Places. Try it!</div>

This was the Italian Pizza I think...Deliciousness with the olives. Once again, a great crust that had lots of flavor and was perfectly "done". Raw crusts can be tricky. They have to be thick enough to hold food, yet thin enough that they can fully dehydrate. Also, when "wet" food hits the crust, the crust (if not protected), can get a bit damp. So you can protect the crust by putting down an initial layer of collards, a dry nut base, or something to create a kind of barrier between the sauces and the crust. It is not essential, but it does help the integrity of the crust last a bit longer. Loved these pizzas!</div>

190 out of 260 calories from fat. That said, it is all from nuts. Walnuts, Pecans, Almonds, Pumpkin Seeds, and Raw Cacao. I have been trying not to overdo the nuts (my belly revolts) but of course I ate the whole bag within the day. Yeah, I know. I tried to pawn some off on my hubby but he likes to "save" the raw treats for me. The combo of cacao, cinnamon & oranges rocked though. And I might try to make a low fat version of these same flavors. Without the agave.</div>

Ever heard the jokes about how raw vegan cookies are some nuts and dates smushed (yeah, it's a made up word) together? Well, they are wrong. Because usually it is in the food processor! :) But if I want some chocolate, and I mean, fast. I don't want sugar. I don't want preservatives. I pull out those Cacao Beans & grab a few dates from my 15 pound box from The Date People.</div>

Step 1. Gently Massage/twist the peel of the Cacao Bean. You can eat it. But it is a little bitter. My hubby loves the things, straight up. But for the 10 second brownie, I peel it. The cacao bean may break into nibs. Try to keep them kind of together.</div>

Pj & Horton. Before he was rescued. Horton is a doll. He has hung out with multiple packs of dogs & all of his friends had been rescued. We had plans to rescue him, but he actually went in an Animal Control Trap just prior to that! Luckily a beautiful girl who works at the adoption center part of that, recognized him from some photos sent out weeks before. We were notified, and Pj & GPG made a beeline for Animal Control. If I did what Pj did every single day, I would have either have a yearly subscription to yoga, an organic vegan wine club & mandatory meditation classes-or be on high doses of Prosac. Going into Animal Control was hard............We left with Horton but heard the cries of so many other dogs. It was hell. I was trying not to actually just sob uncotrollably and have a meltdown. That's when I play "The Suffering Game". I just have to focus on all of the suffering on the entire planet. The ocean that is polluted. The millions of animals on factory farms, that no one cares about. The chickens with their beaks cut off, laying eggs. The people in other countries risking their lives just to make water runs. The widows of India, exiled from their families, spending their days begging. The plants that are crying because their planet has been so polluted. And what is happening inside of this Animal Control, is just a small piece of that suffering, that is happening as I type this. So we are saving this one life, reducing the suffering by just a little bit. And we cannot alleviate all of the suffering, all of the time. We can only do our best. So I just take those bad moments & try to put them in another spot in my head & try not to visit it too terribly much.</div>

Peel them. Freeze them in ziplocs-I break into pieces. Put in Vita-Mix or Food Processor & put in smallest amount of water possible. Just enough water to get blender going. If you use the Vita-Mix, then the tamper is a huge help. Blend until smooth. Don't do too much or it starts to melt! I love putting in my PlantFusion powder as well, probably just because it is vanilla. But it also has lots of aminos. So I pretty much have been living on this stuff during the summer. It rocks.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used to balk at "Raw Snacks" because I used to buy all my seeds in bulk. Have been eating gluten free these days and haven't found great sources for all my nuts & seeds. Bremner Farms does have truly raw & organic almonds. But Pepitas?? Just need to find a cost effective to buy. And these were on sale......and Gluten Free. Not too much spice, but very nicely flavored. This was to bring to the Bhakti Fest in Madison, Wisconsin. We had a "Sisters" weekend (I am the niece) with Yoga & Kirtan & Gong Baths. Having no idea that there would be a raw vegan mecca there, I brought some snacks!</div>

So I did a 5 day juice cleanse prior. And I am still juicing.......just not everyday. But Dave the Raw Food Trucker inspired me to truly make it a priority. He also juiced 3 gallons at once which was 3 days worth-of green juice. And he still got better. So I am getting a little more adjusted to the idea of keeping green juices for 3 days. </div>

Beautiful Juices. Great for this terrible summer heat. Seems like a month of 100 degrees and up. This is why it is cheap to live in the midwest. To have San Diego temps, you must pay property tax in San Diego.......Sure, you can afford a bigger house in the midwest (the States) and you will need it because you will be confined to it the majority of the summer.</div>

Breakfast. People think you have to spend time cooking if you are Vegan. That's BS. You don't even have to cut the fruit up!! A case of bananas, apples, berries. You are set! Want some density to that? Add some almond milk & chia seeds. Or make a batch of quinoa that will last you the week. It is great in breakfast bowls! Quinoa & fruits! </div>

Tony and Elsa are battling out the summer heat. These temps are hitting 107 some days and it is very heavy on the heart to think of all the sentient beings out there, that do not have a cool place to go. If we can get some dogs out of our shelter, we can bring more in. These kids have been on the streets for a very long time now.....waiting. East St. Louis, Illinois.</div>

If you visit this blog, then you probably know I am a huge fan of Anupy's first book about Indian Slow Cooking. Reasons I am a fan:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Dried Beans are used. Dried Beans and NOOOOOO Soaking required!!!!!!!. Organic Dried beans are dirt cheap & packed with nutrients.</li>
<li>Authentic Indian Food. Okay, so coming from someone without much Indian in them, that may be worthless. But, the slow cooker dishes packed a spicy punch & just didn't seem "dumbed down" for a super non-spicy American audience. I appreciated that. </li>
<li>Nearly everything could be made with zero oil. And I think you could skip the salt if you wanted/needed.</li>
<li>Incredible amounts of delicious food for the smallest amount of money.</li>
<li>I think you can save the planet by eating this way. Climate Change. Health Care Costs. Public Aid Costs. Medicaid/care Costs. If we armed each person in the country with a slow cooker and dried legumes with some spices, maybe we could make a dent in that national debt. Add that to some community gardening projects & we've got a start.........With the country gasping for air from trying to pay for environmental disasters, financial disasters, health care disasters, it's a great time to embrace the basics. Dried Beans. Greens. Healing Spices. </li>
<li>You can work 80 hours a week & make no money & still be able to feed your family healthy meals. Just grab a slow cooker & her book!</li>
</ul>

So what is to love about her <i>new</i> book? Everything. While there are several slow cooker recipes, there are also sections on making your own spice blends (hide that bottle of generic "curry" powder now!). Salads that incorporate fruits, spice blends, veggies, WOW! Soups such as North Indian Tomato (Tamatar ka Shorba), South Indian Tomato and Tamarind (Rasam). Breads like Daikon-Stuffed bread, Cauliflower Stuffed Bread, Gluten Free Chickpea Flour Crepes (Besan Poora), Dosas (South Indian Crepes) which are also gluten free. Snacky Snacks like Roasted Masala Nuts, Chai-Spiced Roasted Almonds and Cashews, Spicy Bean Salad, Chickpea Poppers and Tofu Pakora (Tofu Chickpea Fritters). Slow Cooked Legumes. Vegetables. Rice Dishes & One Pot Meals. Chutneys. Drinks. Yummy Baked Samosas, Orange Salad with onions & olives & garam masala, Brown Rice and Adzuki Bean Dhokla, Chana Masala, Chana & Split Moong Dal with Pepper Flakes, Cashew Stuffed Baby Eggplant, Cabbage with Mustard Seeds and Coconut, Sweet & Sour Sweet Potatoes, Spicy Plantains. And apparently Anupy has the best Masala Chai recipe! So many recipes to try! Have made so many already, but kind of enduring the 106 degree days (and the whole month of basically being 100 and over!!!!) to restart the Indian Cooking Feast! Really love the variety of this book. Easy to make a whole meal. A lot more veggies like mushrooms, okra, cabbage, potatoes, squash. And the snack & bread sections both look delicious & still healthy. Since I "try" to do a basically oil & salt free diet, I have made everything thus far (excluding the dosas where I did use a touch of oil for the cast iron pan) without-and everything has been great. There are so many spices in Indian Cooking, that I personally feel like it lends itself easily to being salt free. The only times one might "need" the oil, is if you are making the breads/dosas on stovetop & don't have a non-stick pan. I don't know of a "safe" non-stick pan so I just use cast iron, and haven't mastered a way to use zero oil for the breads.......</div>

These are 2 little tins that are within the Spice Tiffin that Anupy designed and sells. The tiffin saves me a load of time in the kitchen. I just put the most commonly used spices in there and then open only one lid when I read the ingredient list....</div>

Final Verdict. Hubby was completely delighted (as was I!). So warming & loved the tempeh chunks. Peppery.....loved the heat from the black pepper and the richness that that touch of besan flour added. Delicious. Can't wait to try more soups out! And so many Indian recipes that are not typically offered if you walk into a restaurant. Sure, there are the "common" dishes, but she also includes so much more. So obviously, you can't go wrong with this book. You don't need any canned beans, but you can use them if you choose. You have choices whether to make certain dishes stovetop or slowcooker. You can make up your own spice blends or if you are too lazy, you can still try the dish & order her own spice blends online!! And you can adapt the heat to taste. I have found that this book is slightly less spicy overall, than the slow cooker book. But the recipes are a lot more varied. The Slow Cooker book didn't have all of the breads, snacks, salads, drinks. But the spice varies from dish to dish in this book.......</div>

And prolific author <a href="http://www.compassionatecook.com/">Colleen Patrick-Goudreau</a> is starting up a Vegan Challenge. 30 days. Think it may be about $20.00 if you sign up now. So if you have been flirting with a more compassionate lifestyle........now is your chance. 20 bucks to perhaps change your life? And that's not a "monthly" fee. I am all for "booster" programs, starters, boot camps. I am <i>not </i>for counting calories. Not for paying a monthly fee to go weigh in somewhere. Not for being "on" and "off" a healthy "diet". I feel like a healthy lifestyle with foods that love on you is the way to go. Maybe that is too much overnight. But programs such as these can get you started in the right direction. They can help you learn to transition away from meat & dairy. <br />

You always hear that NY is the "City that Never Sleeps". But it's not. Well, maybe it IS, but maybe it isn't the city that "DINES" all night. So many places close up at 10, 11 or by midnight. Kind of a bummer for those of us that love long, leisurely dinners when the clock strikes 12. Even though many places brag of a later closing time in "The Vegan Guide to New York" book, often they fib. If it's slow, they close early. If it's winter, they close early. If the waitstaff has a wild date night ahead, they close early. Same thing with DhaBa. Except that "hypothetically" they are open until 2 am. Once we went pretty late & the place was PACKED with "youngsters" (people under 45). And then the last time we went before 11, and were told that the kitchen was closing very soon & we should order ASAP. So it's a crap shoot, but hit a good night, and this place is happening.</div>

Kadai Bhindi. Sauteed Okra with Onions, Ginger, & Coriander. A great okra dish. I thought everything was a tad greasy, but hubby didn't even flinch. But basically all restaurant food seems greasy to me (even raw joints, and sometimes especially raw joints). So for late night Indian, it was nothing compared to "Shalimar" in San Fran, where we picked up a late night meal because the 3 pieces of tofu from acclaimed "Millenium" were not enough. Shalimar was greasy. Beyond greasy. This was just "normal".</div>

The decor is pretty hip and it's kind of an Indian "Sex in the City" joint. Okay, everything "hip" is Sex in the City to me, because that's the last thing media wise, that I have followed, where I even came close to "hip clubs". Lots of cloth on the wall, which I Love, BUT, with bedbugs being such a major NY topic, I kind of wondered if any were lurking in there!!</div>

Loved that this was a "hang out" place. A full bar and people uninhibited enough to use it. Overall I though Dhaba was pretty good. Basically, it has a decent vibe and isn't too "stiff". Hubby thinks it is is delicious. And that that deliciousness goes really well with a large Kingfisher Beer. He quite appreciates a full bar WITH his spicy food. I could do without the oil......but that is basically at every restaurant, so I can't be used as a barometer. Also, would I trek here in the daytime? Probably not. Only because there are far too many entirely Vegan places to eat during regular hours. We had just been to Caravan of Dreams way too many times for late night eats and thought we would switch it up a bit. And Counter was forever closed the last time we went..........</div>

Some kids that are on the streets of East St. Louis, Illinois. Pj & Gateway Pet Guardians go each and every single day to care for all of the stray dogs & cats that they see.......and then rescue & foster as spots open at the shelter or foster homes become available. These are areas of the United States that are incredible impoverished. Even though I have accompanied Pj on these feedings many times, I am continually shocked & saddened by the "blight" of Washington Park, Illinois & East St. Louis, Illinois. They are "forgotten" places. So many people & animals suffering. There are some organizations helping with the people, but of course, that can be complicated. The dogs can also be difficult. As many are very shy & nearly feral. Others are completely "normal" and were once "pets". Pj works to gain trust of those that are not so trusting & GPG works on rescue plans.<br />

*Frozen bananas. I peel the nanas, break into 2, and put into ziplocs in freezer. Then I throw about 4 (although you can put as few or as many as you like in!) in the Vita-Mix (or high powered blender OR food processor).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*1 tsp to 1 Tablespoon Matcha Green Tea Powder (I use Mountain Rose Herbs)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Enough Ice or water (if making in blender) just to get Vita-Mix going. I start it on Low & Use tamper just to get it started. Then I turn to "High" and still am using tamper to get it mixed well but using the minimal amount of time to process it so it will remain "ice cream" and not a "shake".</div>

So recently I thought I would try to go an entire 24 hours without eating. With just drinking juice. But not a small amount of juice. But at least 2000 calories of Juice a day. This is "normal" for "JuiceFeasters" who often do "JuiceFeasts" and subsist on hours of mediation, supercolonics, and morning yoga. But I exist on Yerba Mate, a lack of sleep (puppies insist on getting up early!), and cynicism. So I had no expectations of throbbing 3rd eyes or the street lights turning on and off from my insanely powerful energy (which apparently has happened with SuperJuiceFeasters). I also had just raided my parent's garden and they have Kale. So basically I bought carrots, apples, beets, and a few other veggies and just said "Go". And I can't call drinking juice a "Feast". So I call it a "Trip" and hope somehow I will Get High on Kale.</div>

I have a SuperPower Juicer and made a bunch of juice at once for the day. These are 16 ounce Mason Jars. I just drank juice all day long. And FYI, Juice Feasting means you are consuming massive amounts of Juice. You are not cutting calories or "depriving" yourself. Just saturating your bod with nutrients. So this is <i>not </i>fasting or some crazy assed "diet" idea. Just a way to give the body a break from excessive digestion. If my body is just soaking up this goodness, it doesn't have to work so damn hard to try to extract the good stuff. And the "theory" is that just maybe, my body can work on repairing it's pipes. Fix up it's infrastructure a little bit. Maintenance Call. A "Juice Stimulus Package". And speaking of Stimulus, Juice <i>may </i>make you feel sexier. I would never use canned or heated juices for this. Just freshly pressed or extracted juice from real food. Nothing heated, pasteurized, with added gunk. </div>

It took time in the morning, but then I didn't have to cook or "uncook" anything else all day. For a few days I felt fine. Really I just "missed" food. Have an emotional attachment to it and just wanted to eat. I went 5 days and then knew I was heading to BhaktiFest & put the kabosh on the fast. At first I had grand dreams of doing the juice during Bhaktifest, but my juicer is not portable, and there was barely time to eat or sleep.........I didn't find the Sprout & Wheatgrass stand there until the last day :(</div>

It's so funny that people eating BigMacs each day can do a JuiceFeast and they rave about how great they feel. They don't miss food. They are flying. I had none of that. I felt fine, but I had no energy surge. Felt a bit lighter the first few days, and certainly I was consuming massive amounts of nutrients. But I didn't feel like I was breathing SuperCharged Prana or anything. Either my body nofunca for fasts, OR I just eat really clean (in general) all the time so it's not like I totally blossom while doing the juice thing. But no doubt I will do it again, JUST to keep "chasing" that ChakraBuzz that the REST of the world talks about when <i>they</i> do a juice feast.</div>

Instagram Garden Lunch. Shrooms. Garden Squash. Garden Salad. Fruit Salad. Socca.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Socca is a Chickpea type of bread. You can make it thick or thin and add veggies or not. It's great with herbs & garden veggies mixed in. We surprised Don at "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Beaux-Box/360066630671807?ref=ts">The Beaux Box</a>" last Sunday & seriously, this was our dinner. Totally on the fly. All fresh & organic food. So simple, so delicious. No salt. And the only oil was to coat the cast iron pan for the Socca. If you use Bob's Red Mill Chickpea/Besan/Fava bean flour, you can buy Certified Gluten Free-in the event that you have someone in your life that can't take cross-contamination. If that isn't an issue, just buy Besan flour on the cheap from your Indian Store. Or take dried chickpeas & grind them in your Vita-Mix! A high protein type of "crust", gluten free, and a great alternative to regular flour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Shrooms just have a Sundried Tomato, Garlic, Water, Garlic Herb mixture in them. The zucchinis are simply cooked on top of stove in a small amount of water with herbs & sundried tomatoes. Salad with Apple Cider Vinegar & a Splash of Flax Oil. Fruit Salad just Cut up fruits! Yum! Simple. Easy. Healthy. Filling.</div>

Okay, I still won't eat at Subway because I read their pickles had come crazy number of food dyes. But....maybe in a pinch. However, they do offer (in general) better fare than the rest. And if you live in the midwest where there aren't VeganBurgerChains on those long stretches of highway....well.....So above is a Vegan Sandwich the Hubby made. His "HomeMade Subway" on Sprouted Bread. He was trying the "Bbq Gardein" out. Wasn't his favorite Gardein product, but he obviously made do. He has been spoiled in the past with homemade Barbecue Seitan sandwiches. </div>

Well, I could write a LOT about "Free Range". So this is just one "Free Range" place. The truth is that most "Free Range" chickens don't even get the "Free Range" part. These are the "lucky" ones.<br />

<i>Very Cool!! Some Great lunch ideas, especially for the "VeganShy". I know lots of you are trying to reduce animal products in your lives, and lunch is the one thing that "gets you". You are in a hurry. You are a creature of habit. But there are some great healthy options with recipe links (click on link above) and they might inspire you to make your own favorites! Or you could just make a hugea** salad or pay 10 bucks for a MajorLeague Whole Foods Salad Bar Experience (or go to your co-op if you have an awesome one near you!!).</i><br />

A typical salad I would get in the "to go" box at Whole Foods. We generally do not shop at the "salad bar" at WF, because it is pricey & who knows what is organic and not. However, we sometimes have lunch there & they do have great options. Several types of "detox, vegan, oil free" salads which are gluten free and great for me. And lots of beans, tofu dishes, cooked vegan goods.........But look at their "cooked" regular dishes and they are downright nasty. Full of fat, bacon, cheese, oil. Just disgusting looking and then you wonder who would pay all that money for something that is so bad for you and not even organic bad for you!! So stick to the Cold bar!!</div>

Hubby tends to hit the tofu dishes, the edamame, and some crazy vegan dressings. He likes oil and beer. Okay, he has really been skipping the oil at home, but the beer...........well, it is vegan beer! :)</div>

Okay, I don't know anything about Boxing (except it smacks up your brain pretty good), but apparently it's a good thing for veganism if we can show that a VeganMan can beat the Sht out of someone, just as well as a BeefCakeMan. So, Cheers?? Guess the fight was controversial, well, <i>everything</i> is controversial :) But if people need the affirmation that VeganMen can be BigandStrong, then so be it. Duh. VeganMenRock............And men that love & respect VeganWomen rock too, even if they aren't fully there yet.<br />

I guess Ron Jeremy has done some PSA's for PETA. So he isn't Vegan, but apparently into spaying & neutering animals. The whole shtick isn't my "cup of tea" but I am more a dandelion green tea kind of girl, and less a vodka tonic type. Either way, I guess with the clothes on, I am not thinking of sex while looking at Ron Jeremy.<br />
<br />
But it is cool, that Vegans are Penetrating "all" the markets....Sigh. Which leads me to the VeganPorn of PETA. I am not a huge "Porn" fan anyway...for lots of reasons. So Sigh PETA. But once again, Vegans have to "let go" a tiny bit and realize that Vegans are everywhere and we all have different ideas. Hmm...which makes me think that being a VeganDoubleAgentSpyCam would be awesome.....Just pose as a stripper, "massuese", and answer calls to congressmen.....Hmm......then "urge" them to get some animal friendly legislation through. Do we need a VeganLobby of Women in Stilettos & GymHunkMen to "penetrate" the House & Senate?? Seems like that may be the most effective way to "get sht done" as some of the "smartest" have lost it "all" to some penis tweets, out of state prostitutes, and female bondage clubs. Why are we even bothering with call lists? There is one call they <i>always</i> answer. Capital anyone?<br />
