30 Days to RawRRR! Day 22 – gonna get dehydrated!

*imagine me dancing round my kitchen* ooooooh yesssssssssssss, I’m getting a dehydrator. NEVER thought I’d get excited about buying a piece of kitchen equipment but I’ve been dreaming of owning one of these for ummm… well, a very, very long time.

Eating more raw vegan stuff, there are some essential kitchen items you need really, to be able to make anything you please – in fact I should write an article about it.  One of those things that you try and convince yourself isn’t essential, is a dehydrator but really.. to add variety and texture – some good old fashioned MOUTH FEEL and oral pleasure – it’s an essential bit of equipment.

I need to stop rabbiting on about it here though as I have to get the video uploaded or it’ll be midnight and I will turn into a pumpkin, or a rat, or something… I’ve added some food photos at the end of this video and after seeing DiscoveringRaw.com I realise I really, REALLY, need to be taking more photos of what I’m eating and drinking, especially if I’m creating something that looks pretty.  Anyway, I hope you like this x

ack!  all three stills youtube gave me the option to choose from were as stupid as each other! *lmao*

30 Days to RawRRR! Day 21 – Happy Birthday Nicola

Happy Birthday to my big sister, Nicola Cairncross!  Celebrated with glorious blue skies and warm sunshine, we went into Brighton and tasted the delights of a fairly new vegan restaurant located within a ‘quality of life centre’ which also has some amazing aura-soma and massage therapies on offer in treatment rooms upstairs.  Their website is currently being developed but you can get some basic details by visiting it at http://www.aloka.aura-soma.net

In this video I share some photos taken today and also from my recent trip to Manna in Brighton and Arundel Castle.  I’m going to set up a flickr account and start uploading photos there for you to enjoy and a facebook page so you can share your own experiences… mmm comparing notes on raw cake we have eaten, COULD be my favourite category *lol*

I hope you day was as lovely as ours.  Enjoy :D
