Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Thank you for your response, Gerry. I think your idea about calling in to a radio show is a GREAT one! I have decided not to boycott the team ~ that was a tired misjudgement of mind ~ but I am heavily disappointed in the choices he has made. While he has shown tremendous compassion with children in need (ie., at Xmas time he goes to the poorest cities in L.A. and hands out expensive gifts from his truck to kids that would otherwise not have a Xmas), he then goes and takes the lives of innocent animals and is proud of what he does. I will write a letter (you're right - I do A LOT of letter writing) and let him know how I feel about his involvement with canned hunting and hunting in general, but I will begin with speaking about how great a player he is (basketball, by the way, lol) and then mention my disappointment at what I found out about his hunting practice. I'll keep you posted on any responses I might receive.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Hi all, Wendy, thank you for your recipes. I'm looking forward to trying some after Thanksgiving. Ivonne & Perryanne, thank you for your kind words, I am really learning a lot by preparing these tutorial, and it gives me great pleasure in knowing that I am helping others on the path as they are helping me. Ivonne, you really have talked me into making the " Tastes Like Hostess Crumb Donuts " after the Thanksgiving holidays. I feel really blessed by this group, I am eleven months raw and a lot of the reason I've made it and believe in the raw foo lifestyle so much is this group. Thanks again to all who make this group what it is. Blessings to all, Dale http://hishealingways.com - Wendy rawfood Monday, November 22, 2004 9:16 AM [Raw Food] Recipes Here are some recipes I have used recently in my classes. I hope you like them! Someone had asked where I teach, and the location is the Whole Foods Market at Coit & Beltline in Richardson, TX. I am on a break from teaching at the moment, since my full-time job demands a considerable amount of time during the holiday season, and my classes resume in February. I hope some of you can make it! For those of you that cannot, I can post the recipes I use after the class. Enjoy! Banana Ice Cream w/Walnuts (this is one of my favorites!) Peel and freeze very ripe bananas in a plastic freezer bag. Very ripe banana skins have no green, they have black or brown marks all over, and the stem is brown or snaps back effortlessly. Freeze a minimum of 8 hours. Depending upon your freezer it may take at least 12 hours. 1 to 2 bananas is a normal serving for 1. Place bananas in a food processor, and whip until smooth. Use a little fruit or berry juice to reach a creamy consistency. Place the ice cream in individual serving bowls, and sprinkle with raw walnuts. Crunchy Taco Lettuce Wraps 3 ripe avocados 1 large onion ¼ cup lemon juice ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped 1 ½ teaspoons cumin 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 cup sun dried tomatoes, soaked and chopped 2-3 chopped jalapenos 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt romaine or leaf lettuce Cut the avocados into chunks, and pour the lemon juice over it. Set aside. Chop onion in a food processor, then add the rest of the ingredients (except lettuce) and process until smooth and creamy. Spoon mixture into lettuce leafs and roll up. Serve. Carrot-Ginger Soup Ingredients: 2/3 quart of carrot juice 4 avocados 5 cloves garlic 2 inch ginger root, grated 1 tsp. paprika pinch of cayenne (or more) to taste 2 Tbsp. of tamari Preparation: Blend all ingredients in cuisinart or blender until smooth (add carrot juice last). Serve cold or at room temperature. Use extra cayenne if you like it spicy. Nori Rolls Pate' ingredients: 2 cups of almonds, soaked overnight 3 cloves garlic 1 c. chopped celery 1 ½ t. salt 1/3 c. olive oil ½ c. lemon juice 1 t. curry powder (or your favorite seasoning) Additional ingredients: Slice the following into thin, long strips: ½ avocado ½ large bell pepper 2 green onions sprouts shredded carrot 5 raw Nori sheets Blend all the pate' ingredients in a food processor until creamy. Spread the pate onto a sheet of nori and add the thinly sliced vegetables. Roll up tight in nori sheet. Note: to make the nori sheets stick better you can moisten them a little with water, lemon, tomato, or orange juice. Let the nori rolls sit for 10 minutes and then begin slicing them into 2 inch slices. Makes 10-15 nori rolls. Fruit Pudding Mix in blender: 2 large bananas 2 mangoes (peeled!) 2 kiwi 3 avocados 12 large strawberries Serves 4. SPINACH CAESAR SALAD (another favorite!) 1 large bunch spinach ½ cup pumpkin seeds, ground 1-2 garlic cloves, pressed ½ lemon, juiced 1/2-1 tsp. prepared Dijon mustard 2 tbsp. olive oil (extra-virgin) dash of Celtic sea salt sprinkle of freshly ground white pepper 1) Rinse the spinach very well under running water. Once clean, let dry or spin the spinach leaves dry in a salad spinner and put into a large bowl. Tear or cut leaves into bite-size pieces. 2) Grind the pumpkin seeds using a coffee or nut grinder. Add the ground seeds to the spinach and toss well. 3) In a small bowl, blend 1 or 2 pressed cloves of garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, a sprinkle of white pepper and Celtic sea salt. Pour over the spinach and toss well. Serves 2. Best eaten when freshly made. Stuffed Mushrooms 1/3 cup pine nuts 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped 1 Tablespoon lemon juice 1 cup tomato, chopped 2 Tablespoons Bragg's Liquid Aminos 15-20 large button mushrooms, stems removed Put all ingredients in a food processor (except tomatoes and mushrooms) and pulse chop several times. Add the tomatoes and pulse chop until just blended. Mixture should be slightly chunky, not pureed. Stuff the filling into the caps of the mushrooms. Serve. -Wendy Message: 2 Tue, 23 Nov 2004 09:40:07 -0500 " perryanne " <perryanne Re: Re: Excess Fees for Raw Food Classes Dale, I think this is an excellent point and im going to buy alissa cohens first. It is frustrating to meet such high prices for raw teachings!!! sad health and food prep still cheaper =( actually seeing what's going on in prep and steps is priceless... (in my opinion) btw Dale love your website! again- the visuals on your site make it so much easier to learn. and know you're on the right track! keep up the great work!!!!! my best, perryanne =) - Dale Wing rawfood Saturday, November 20, 2004 2:06 AM [Raw Food] Re: Excess Fees for Raw Food Classes Hi, It's the law of supply and demand. They demand the high prices, and we are will to supply them with the money, until people stop supplying them with the money for the classes they're asking for they will continue to demand the money. My solution is to buy their books and audio and video tapes and DVD's, that way not only do I see them demonstrate once, I can see them over and over prepare something, and answer my questions about preparing something. And I haven't really seen any one of their video demo tapes over priced. I own all of Victoria Boutenko's, Alissa Cohen's, Cherie Soria's, and Nomi Shannon's video tapes. So, I now have Victoria Boutenko, Alissa Cohen, Cherie Soria, and Nomi Shannon in my home and they are willing to teach me any time day or night what I want to learn about raw food preparation.

Message: 6 Tue, 23 Nov 2004 09:37:03 -0800 (PST) Ivonne Mondaca <ivonnececil Raw Hostess Crumb Donut Recipe Wow Dale !! Thanks for the recipe on Mock Turkey ---I will definitely try it. I have a recipe I would like to share as well. This is seriously an amazing desert and you have to like donuts to appreciate it. Well- I used to love them and this tastes JUST LIKE IT (only a million times better in every way) !! It's amazing !!! I got it off http://www.living-foods.com/recipes/crumbdonuts.html They have lots of great recipes!! Enjoy!! Tastes Like Hostess Crumb Donuts by Lucy Yeh 1 cup raw almonds 1 cup very soft, pitted dates 1/2 cup finely shredded banana squash 1/2 cup shredded coconut more shredded coconut for rolling splash olive oil vanilla 1-2 tablespoons nutmeg sea salt Put almonds in food processor and process to very fine pieces. Add dates, a little at a time. Add splash of olive oil, a little salt and a little vanilla. The mixture will look like very coarse meal at first, and then all of a sudden it will come together in one big ball. Take the big ball out of the food processor and, using your hands, mix in the shredded squash, the nutmeg and the shredded coconut until it is all mixed in. Taste and add more coconut or nutmeg if desired. Roll the mixture into small balls, and roll in shredded coconut to cover. Place on a plate in a single layer and chill in the freezer until firm. After they are firm, you can put them in a container; they will keep for a very long time in the freezer Tell me if you try it and like it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I search the internet for the simplest raw veg turkey recipe I could find, and I found what I believe is the simplest in my own copy of Alissa Cohen's book " Living on Living Food " , and it really tastes great, I had ten people taste it and they all really liked it. I hope you will too. Mock Turkey Loaf from Alissa Cohen's book " Living on Living Food " . http://hishealingways.com/mockturkey/mockturkey.html Hope you enjoy.
