Rawsome and rauseous in LA, part 2

If anyone happened to read " Rawsome in LA, " this is an ongoing series

of blogs following my rocky transition to eating only whole, life, raw

food. To recap, I decided as a part of my sustainable examination of

LA, to start with myself as the first place I could go 100% green.

Just like when the natural foods movement was in its infancy, the live

or raw food movement is one that conjures up visions of unappealing,

uncooked dishes created to mimic our home cooked favorites. Sometimes

that happens to be true, for instance when I went to a raw restaurant

and ordered " rawsagna. " Not only did it not look like lasagna, the

only thing about it that resembled the real thing was the name. At

that point I decided to go on line and look at the raw cookbooks,

perhaps a better term is uncooked books. Being a bit impulsive when

Amazon shows me used books that are like new for pennies on the

dollar, I ordered several. I figure if I make it myself then I can

tweak ingredients and modify recipes to my own tastes.

WOW those recipes are loaded with nuts. Way high in fat. Is that how most of

you will eat for Thanksgiving?

This year, I'll be doing my annual fast Thanksgiving week, so I'll be

drinking water (very low in fat)!
