Today's Foodstuffs

2 tangerines + 1 carrot + about 2 cups nutmilk + the top 1 1/2 inches of an avocado + 1 dash vanilla + maybe 1 tsp honey in the blender for a MARVELOUS raw Orange Julius (I don't even like that drink, but this is such a stunning resemblance that I kind of do like it, in this form -- also another of the rare acceptable ways to eat raw carrots)

a cup of echinacea and rosehips tea with a dab of honey and smidge of nutmilk, not great

last 1/2 cup or so of Shoyu Mushroom Wings (recipe below-low), GREAT

last cup or so of Cauliflower Popcorn, not bad!

a regrettable 3-shot grande nonfat decaf salted carmel mocha, extra hot with whipped cream. Regrettable largely because 1) I had to tell you about it, and 2) it wasn't as delicious as usual. It seemed too sweet or something.

an orange shared with Chato

the rest of that chubby, sexy avocado we so enjoyed in the raw Orange Julius, earlier

the last of the quart of nutmilk made 2 nights ago

1 squeaky green apple + 1 patient banana + shmears of peanut butter (not raw -- dry roasted -- but organic and somehow kind) + chopped lettuce on top as decoration.

pie of ground sunflower seeds for crust (salted and roasted, but IDEAL for pie crust, for anyone non-raw reading this who just wants to make a healthier pie crust. Try it, I swear, it is so good. Just the right saltiness, plenty of oil, lovely crumbly texture, etc. And we do feel ok about this today, because these were the last of the non-raw nuts in the fridge. If these had been raw nuts I might've added dashes of salt and olive oil.) + 1 sweet potato + 1 green apple mashed up in blender. TOTALLY GOOD.

For the record, you can eat a lot of varieties of sweet potato raw. I seem to digest the ones that're orange on the inside better than the lighter colored ones so can only recommend those. But they do make a tasty sweet potato pie!

And please note we did NOT eat any of the donut holes offered in class this morning.
