I had to go to the supermarket last night to get my son's food and stuff and picked up some little tomatoes, a zucchini (which I found to be " blech " raw) and a bunch of carrots that I cannot chew...lol They had white coconuts from Mexico. I never saw these before. Not a white shell over the husk but a white husk. It said on the tag that the coconuts were best to be used for the milk and consisted of a creamy like meat (not exactly but something like that LOL). So...I am checking them out. Darn things were like itchy balls! One stuck to my shirt and then there was an avalanche of white coconuts. Thank the Lord none broke...heh that is me Mary, I save all your posts. I do so enjoy hearing you speak and am going to follow your advice if I can come to comprehend it. Not sure if it is because I am Sicilian or if I have Anthony..lol maybe a little of both. Have a beautiful day everyone and a lovely weekend. Nice here in NJ today but next nice day will not come until Tuesday but each day is a blessed one if we have it. Hugs, Toni p.s. Mary, my son loves fish though sadly with all the mercury happenings I wish it were safer but he eats what he eats and I cannot conform him to what I want. When I buy meat, he is sick of it. I buy fish, he is sick of it..lol I just can't win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Tone, When I was teaching nutrition, I made a very good friend. This woman, Jennifer, was an excellent cook. She decided to work with my clients by offering cooking classes that would help them transition to a 75% raw food diet. I benefitted as much as anyone from her creativity! She has long since moved to Ohio and I now live in SLC. (We met in Illinois.) The other day, thinking of you, I decided to do an experiment, Jennifer style! I steamed some teryaki sauce in a pan till it was almost carmelized. Then I diced up some small white potatoes, a bell pepper, a small portion of a yam, and some celery. When all were nicely diced, I stirred them in the caramelized teryaki sauce. Since they were only coated with the hot sauce, and not cooked, they were still considered raw. They were delicious! Jennifer also had an Italian recipe. She would take a spaghetti sauce and put it over cauliflower. Quite tasty. Of course, she used cooked spahetti sauce but you could make an original Tone Special...a raw spaghetti sauce. You might even try making one similar to the at the Olive Garden restaurant. Crush some tomatoes, add olives, peppers, onions and garlic. Then add a little cayenne and olive oil. If needed, you could saute it at a very low temp while you are adding incredient. As long as the temp is not above (I think 118 degrees) the enzymes are still alive and well. After all, its the enzymes we are after when we eat a raw diet. There is no reason to give up your food culture. You could make lasagna using slices of eggplant (soaked in salt water to remove bitterness) covered with your now famous 'Tone's raw spaghetti sauce " ! If you think of this as a journey of exploration, you can be the Vasco de Gama or Christopher Columbus of raw foodism. If you make it fun, there is excitement in every meal! mary --- Tone <tone102 wrote: > Hello everyone, > > Hope this finds you well and you are having a > beautiful day.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Zucchinis aren't that bad raw. Truth is though, I can't remember the last time I bought one. I guess they rank pretty low as far as raw food taste.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Michele, Hi Hon, I do not think this was a Thai coconut. Seems silly in a stop in shop in New Jersey..lol but really though it was not covered in a shell but had a white husk and said it was a white coconut from Mexico. I will have to show my Mexican friend on Sunday to see what he says. Thankyou for the link Hon. I appreciate it. Have a beautiful night Hugs, Tone - Michelle N.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Mary, Since I am thinking of running away from home, maybe I can come to Utah and you can cook for me? LOL Ugh I am truly besides myself now. One would think that with all the lettuce and tomatoes and blah blah I would feel good but not so. Today I feel as though I have a kidney infection...lol along with a throbbing headache and so other whines to go along with it. I came across a site and thought of you Maybe you partook or is that partaked? lol In writing a little of this? You are a love Mary. So thoughtful and helpful. Here is the site just in case you want to check out what I am talking about. Now say " what the hell is she talking about " ? lol Be well hugs, Toni http://www.naturalhealthdoc.net/health-questions-health-information-phase1-eatin\ g-plans.htm - mary rawfood Friday, May 07, 2004 3:01 PM Re: [Raw Food] white coconut Tone, When I was teaching nutrition, I made a very good friend.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 you can try shredding the zucchini and seasoning it or throwing it on top of a salad...it's very refreshing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Well let us know what he says about it, cause I've never heard of another type of white coconut husk that wasn't that kind and would love to try another variety!
