Wash ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Due to our move over the weekend, the microwave is still lost. I even brought my lunch and everything, but can't heat it up.
So, I went to a Lebanese restaurant and got the veggie combo: hummus, baba ganoush, jerusalem salad, dolmades and feta. It is Teh Yum.
And, in our new space, I have an actual office with a door. My back no longer faces people who walk by. I can internet surf with greater security! Woot!

slow food (it's a movement)
Trudy, I'm actually including a paragraph on slow food and how it's one example of how we create social divisions and stratifications with our food choices today much as we have in the past.
And apparently instead of actually writing my essay, I'm explaining it to you. Which is just as productive.
Yay for doors!
Packaged food, snack food.
Yay for doors!
Very much so! I have been told for 4 years that I'd get an office when one came available. We had to move for it to happen, but yay!
And apparently instead of actually writing my essay, I'm explaining it to you. Which is just as productive.
Well, you can just cut & paste the essay together.
This is making me think of the whole raw food thing. Is it just that raw food devotees can never eat anything cooked, ever? Because that would severely suck. Or at least it would for me.

Oh, good lord, there'd be no coffee! Coffee beans have to be roasted. Time to strike another dietary possiblity off my list.
Raw foodists don't eat anything that's been heated over 110F [oops, 116, looks like]. (And it's mostly a subset of veganism, though I gather there are some raw foodists who include tartare/carpaccio/gravlax in their diet as well.)
Oh, the internets. The things you can learn. So apparently the raw foodists do only eat raw foods. Huh. And I thought that scene in Love Actually about the Fruitarians was just there for comic relief. Raw Foods
I have to say that this FAQ is wholly unconvincing to me:
Is this a "new" fad diet or something?
Not at all! Consider the following: during the vast majority of our existence on this planet, what choices did we have for food? What COULD we have eaten during the first 10-50,000 years (or more) before we discovered fire, tools and implements to kill animals? The original diet of homo-sapiens MUST have consisted primarily of vegetables, fruits, and nuts! What other choices did we have? Clearly, a raw, plant based diet is the main food staple throughout the vast majority of the history of Humankind! Before Humans started killing and eating dead animal carcass, we ate fruits, leaves, nuts, berries, etc...
Thousands of years ago people did a ton of nasty and stank things. Doesn't mean I would like to do them today. Hmmmph.
