In the complete opposite of raw food, Trader Joe's has a frozen concoction of scallops, peas, and mushrooms in a sauce that's mostly crème frâiche and Emmental cheese. We just had it over pasta, and it is REALLY good. (I would have preferred more peas, but if that's my biggest complaint, I'm taking the win.)

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I wonder what raw foodists with a family history of food allergies feed their kids. My neighbors' kids can't have nuts or tropical fruits (including avocado and banana), so dairy is pretty much a must for keeping their calorie intake up.
I didn't see the raw food diet as being "discredited," only the claim that it was a more natural, and by definition more healthy, diet.
The claim that raw foods are healthier because heat destroys nutrients has been pretty thoroughly proven false.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We have a raw food "cook book" which actually requires some low heat or dehydration for some recipes.
So in addition to the horribly muscle aches today, I've started getting cold sweats. I'm really over this virus.

Cash, I'm so sorry you're so sick.

Thanks, Kristin. I feel bad for whinging so much. I don't get sick very often and I'm really bad at it. I'm also shocked at how hard hitting this virus is. I swear, I feel like I have a broken rib every time I cough.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh, Cashmere. I hope you recover soon.

No, you aren't whining. Being as sick as you are sucks. I hope you feel better soon.

So I did come to resolution with the honeymoon/wedding lodging issue. We still were unable to book the first night with points, but I was able to talk the resort into letting us book a single night separately (they usually only book two or more nights at a time) since we will be staying the five nights after that. It wasn't cheap, but it's only a couple hundred more than we would have spent at another hotel, and now we'll get six nights straight instead of having to switch hotels after the first day. It's worth the cost, I think, and now I can stop worrying about it.

Poor Cashmere.
I have no idea why I'm so hungry tonight. I had ravioli for dinner (frozen, with tofu filling -- not great, but OK), then the chocolate pudding, then an English muffin, then two carrots worth of carrot sticks and 20 grape tomatoes dipped in salad dressing, and I still feel hungry.

That's a relief, Pix. Sucks that you couldn't get the cheaper rate but I hope it's a load off your mind and you can get to the fun part of wedding planning.
