This will be a bit of challenge because I winged this recipe. I started out thinking I would just slice and marinate some ’shrooms for our weekly cult raw luncheon. When I was cleaning the baby portabellos a few of the stems fell off. The decCAPitated fungi reminded me of gooey stuffed mushrooms. [...]

Sit down honey, we need to talk.
Posted by Larry
Sit down honey we need to talk. Lately, I’ve just been feeling unsatisfied. Something was missing. I missed some things I thought I wouldn’t miss. It happened all of sudden and I just gave in to temptation.
I woke up this morning and could not make myself eat anything. I drank a glass a [...]

Raw Entertainment
Posted by Larry
There is a big difference between entertaining in the raw and raw entertaining! Tonight we hosted Max who is town to work at NESCent. Max was game to try to the raw diet so Sandy and I whipped up some dishes.

Captain’s Log: Rawdate 08
Posted by Larry
After much cajoling by Ember, I went to the Pinhook for happy hour. The problem was that people around me insisted on drinking beer and eating delicoius food from Toast. I really think the social negatives of the raw diet wear me down more than the food aspects. I’ve gotten tired of explaining [...]

Why eat raw?
Posted by Larry

I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Are you listening?
Enzymes.
Raw foodists can’t tell you enough [...]

Juice Man! Oh yeah!
As word of the raw diet spreads, it brings unexpected benefits. Exhibit A: this snazzy juice extractor thing.
Suzanne is a coworker of Sandy’s that has made some fine raw goat’s milk cheese in the past. When she got wind of the raw diet she offered up this snazzy beast for a loan. In usual Larry [...]

Get thee behind me Satan!

Tonight was my first real temptation. I went to an event that I thought was going to be an open house type thing with light snacks. Instead it was a sit down dinner with feast of Puerto Rican delights to celebrate the Eve of the Epiphany. I felt like tool declining homemade sangria [...]

I’m still doing okay on the raw diet. The Lara Bars suggested by Leiana look like a major treat.
I was corresponding with my fellow rawhides via email and realized my message would make a good post. I’ve pasted most of it below.
… part of my motivation for the dietofcorn and this
adventure is to [...]

A belated farewell
The final post by Larry
I apologize to my fellow rawhides for my deliquency in the ending days of the Month in the Raw. As I slid off the raw diet I found it hard to show my face around here. In closing, I thought I would address my feelings using the template already produced by [...]
