That rarely occurs in society.

I was just browsing thru posts and found for eg the black pepper post by the lovely MG.

We had sheryl (illl spell ur name right this time lol, i typed it wrong somewhere on recent post ) and merridy sayin how they liked black pepper along with MG. Jen and Alegne used it for external purposes. Then Joss and Neet replied with their own choice of not using pepper.

The thing is, on this forum we all have our styles and idea all based on the raw idea, but no-one gets on their soapbox, demeans or claims that what they are doing is the right way and only way to do things. Even if its a confession to some cooked food etc, still theres support, understanding and open-mindness.

Theres not many places around that you can come, vent, celebrate, dicuss or question and not feel as if your going to get criticised or more.

Just thought i would share that, cos its a very cool thing...

peace amigos 

Yea, well lets all try and keep it this way

Hey its ok, u dont have to eat ur carrots MG. Unless u cant see in the dark? 

The thing is, i only chose that name cos i thought it sounded cool cos it meant 2 things. But carrots arent my fav thing in the world. So whatta reckon. Name change? Should do a poll like the recipe post

I really dig bananas, grapes and persimmons. And now, cacao. 'Bananarama', 'Goddess Grape' (then i sound on myself ) 'Persimmon powergirl' (thats kinda long) then theres the new name suggested by Blu Nelly 'chocomite'. If anyones got suggestions, hit me wit them :D

no one can hurt us inside, but ourselves.

no offence is given, if none is taken.

an objection is a request for more information.

a travel brochure likes to 'rant and rave' about the destination it describes. to help people looking for a holiday destination, to  decide if thats what they want.

i like to 'rant and rave' about my successes on raw to give people whom are on the fence, some information to help them jump in. a living example or  a referrence point, a possible path, a tool to extract more life with, a magic carpet ride, an adventure ...

its not my way.

its natures way.

and i enjoy being a salesperson for nature.

for nature holds all the beauty, vitality, clarity, power, bliss, intensity....................

we were at santos a few hours ago. its not a bad little shop.

i had just drank 2 litres of cane juice in 10 minutes. so i was done for the morning. but i did get a free chart on how organic food has more minerals in it. i will laminate it and stick it in my mates organic shop in adelaide.

at the byron market a man offered me a jakfruit 'on sale ' for 100$. since im used to getting bigger ones off the tree for free up north , i was a bit reluctant. and ended up getting one for 35$ down the road a few hours later.

which, at lunchtime, got blended with sugar cane juice and fresh coconut water. the high fat content of the jakfruit makes for a real smooth lush pudding/thickshake.

yesterday we got 2 10kg plus boxes of certified organic lady fingers for 5$ a box.

im making 3kg bowls of banana ice cream with them.

its a tough job, but someone's gotta eat it!

Miss Bliss - so sorry we missed you today at the market. We were long gone by the time you got there. I had to run home to take over phones from Piers who is ever so busy working on the next newsletter! Harley leaves Monday - let us know if you're available sometime this weekend - we are around except for Saturday at the Brisbane picnic!

I heard you are getting a gift of olives from a beautifullady down south (Neet!). Let me know if you still want the olives you emailed about earlier. I can send nori tomorrow too! Or you can drop by for another meal and see Harley one last time this visit!

Cheers,
Sheryl

Joss, I find I can get dulse all the time in Perth, in both flakes and sheets/layers that Im guessing is the same as the leaves u r talking about? 

I go to Manna Wholefoods in Freo, or Earth Market in Subiaco.  Heaps of health food stores Ive come across have it too.

I can bring some to the next picnic for you if I find some?  If its not the 'leaf' type that u r after, i can just keep it.
