To me, nothing says I love you better than someone paying attention to my wants/needs. This year, I wanted chocolate, but I certainly didn’t need it. I also certainly was not about to eat the standard processed type. Imagine my surprise when my Valentine surprised me with an entire bag of delicious raw treats – candies, chocolates, chips – a cornucopia of epicurean delights.

I love raw almond butter. This is all.

I am now 100% raw in terms of food. This past weekend was quite a challenge. I admit to drinking at the Niagara Ice Wine Festival, but I did not touch any of the food in the pairings, and instead spent the weekend consuming raw vegetables and watching my (new) significant other (hopefully very significant in time!) ingest many things that I don’t eat any longer. I had a few twinges, but it actually wasn’t too difficult.

My grocery trips are simple, as is my daily food intake. My sleep has been drastically reduced, and my energy is higher than I ever remember. I expect to have temptation, but I love the way I feel too much to jeopardize it.

Shopping
- mung beans
- dried apricots
- walnuts
- 1 yam
- dates
- raw cacao

Eating
- 1 cube wheatgrass
- 1 cube E3Live
- Green juice – romaine, cucumber, celery, lemon
- Herbal tea
- Salad
- Dill “cheese” and dehydrated flax crackers (lots)
- Water, while out at the pub

I am starting a daily serving of E3Live and discovered that ice cube trays are the perfect way to ration it into servings.

I sit here in a Williams Coffee Pub, enjoying my mint tea, but very much appalled by my salad. When did it happen that ordering salad meant a plate covered with candied nuts, raisins, and other foreign objects? A spinach and apple sounded sounded innocuous enough – especially if I removed all of the gorgonzola cheese. The only thing I can do with this is put it in a box and give it to someone else. In the meantime, there must be somewhere in this city where I can buy wheatgrass… wo|man cannot live on wheatgrass alone, but it seems to be a better alternative for the moment.

Lesson learned. From now on, the only thing I will purchase in one of these establishments (or others of a similar nature) is a tea bag and hot water. Everything else just seems potentially unsafe. Mind you, I am also surfing on the coattails of a trip to the Mandarin buffet. Never did I think I would be in a Mandarin again, after an experience last year, and yet circumstance found me there again. I have to learn to travel with more food and be able to watch another person eating without partaking myself… without feeling guilty.

I am currently addicted to:

• Raw organic sauerkraut
• Olives
• Grapefruit
