Yesterday when my son came home from school he couldn’t wait to tell me all about this boys club he started with some of his friends from school. I’m very familiar with these. He loves to create clubs that are just for boys and by the end of the day he always asks me if…

Roasted Eggplant
When I visit my farmers market I go directly to the only two organic vendors, I don’t even bother to look at any of the conventionally grown produce. A few weeks ago I noticed my favorite organic vendor was not there, I was so disappointed. I decided to take a look at what the other…
A Garage remodel and the B&B
Glad to see you go old horrible garage! We have been planning this project for years and finally it’s happening. We demolished an old structure that was about to collapse and are putting up a new one that will actually be functional. I’m happy it’s progressing, but at the same time it has been stressful….
It's been way too long
Hello blog! I didn’t mean to neglect you for so long. My life has been really busy lately. It has been filled with big changes, problems, solutions and a big house remodel. At times I’ve felt overwhelmed. Like I just didn’t have it in me to do that “one more thing” that needed to be…
Durian
Yesterday I had the most amazing durian experience. I can now officially say that I LOVE durian. My son complained the whole ride home from the Asian market that I was buying it again. I told him that I was going to open it outside, eat it outside and compost the shell right away so…
Staying raw in Tampa
I’m in Tampa this week visiting my father, as I do every year at this time. I was thinking back to last year, I had been raw for about a month and I was a little nervous about flying. I was worried that I would face an unexpected delay and get really hungry and I…
Fun with my dehydrator
I have been using my dehydrator a lot lately, which is very unusual for me. I’ve had it for about 8 months and have barely used it. I’ve made juice pulp crackers a few times and used it to marinate vegetables, but that’s about it. When I bought my dehydrator I thought that I would…
A mini juice fast and some major decluttering
Yesterday I decided to do a one day juice/blended food fast to give my body a break. I have been eating a lot of salt lately, mainly in the form of miso. In just 6 days I had 6 bowls of miso soup, I love the flavor of miso, but that’s way too much salt…
Transitioning to a raw vegan diet
I’ve stopped eating fish. When I look at a fish I don’t see food, I see a living being that I don’t want to eat. I knew this day would come soon because the last few times I ate fish, I didn’t enjoy it like I used to. I’ve been slowly cutting out animal products…
Trying durian for the first time
A few weeks ago I tried durian for the first time. Durian, also known as “the king of fruits”, grows in tropical climates and is native to Indonesia and Malaysia. Some say it smells like stinky gym socks, rotten eggs and sulfur. Although it has a reputation for being stinky, it’s also known for being…
