Vegeater Goes to Spain, But First…

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

To South Louisiana. It’s hard to say which will be more difficult in terms of vegging-it. But, we are committed. (Hubs may eat a shrimp or two…he’s a rebel like that! But I will likely not) Both the cultures of Spain and South Louisiana are heavily meat-centered. Spain ...

(almost) Raw Day

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Today I decided to eat only raw for a day. So I set off to work with a basket full of fruit and veg. I had to eat a lot of volume to stay full, that is, to keep my tummy from rumbling. (I think that would ...

Living Joyfully

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Went driving around our city today. Had to cross the river. So many businesses are flooded. So many homes damaged or ruined. Cropland swamped. Roads and bridges destroyed. Lives and careers set back. I feel beset. Our economy is faltering (it is built on lies. ...

Fake Mac-n-Cheez Saves the Day

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

I totally do not want this to be a recipe-based blog (although I do love those too), but I had to post something about Dreena's Mac-oh, Geez! Hubs is suspicious of anything that claims to be cheesy and isn't actually, but then he ate a big bowlfull.  A couple of ...

Strawberry “Cream” Pie (with photo)

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Dietary Revisions

Friday, June 13th, 2008

I have been reading more and more about how much good raw foods do the body.  So, because I cannot internalize truth without applying it to myself, I have been trying to include more raw in my day.  My diet is constantly being revised because I'm constantly reading new things.  ...

Lettuce! (and strawberries) (photo)

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Last night we had our very first supper of lettuces (yes, each of us, a huge bowl of salad) from our garden. It was nourishing, rewarding, and fulfilling. We are starting small with gardening, being beginners, but feel good about the small contribution we are making to our ...

Resignation from Corporate America

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

Well, I've finally done it.  I've submitted my resignation to the company I've worked for for 3.8 years. I want to take a moment be grateful: I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to work for an upstanding company in an industry to which I am committed (that being the natural ...

Food Budget

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

In preparation for me quitting my job and us traveling much of the summer, hubby and I took a long hard look at our budget. And realized that the amount of money we were spending on food was Rid-Iculous. So we are now on a very strict cash-in-envelope grocery money ...
