Fabulous Friday

Hi, everyone!

Yesterday was very fun. I fasted on distilled water until late afternoon, even throughout my interview at Bloomingfoods! Bloomingfoods, our local co-op grocery store, is hiring part-time cooks to work on the hot/salad bar and grab-n-go items. I'm fairly certain I'll get the job, which is absolutely fantastic!

After my interview, I headed over to Shana and Hillary's place. Hillary came home from work, we talked for a bit, then headed over to Bloomingfoods. I broke my fast with a piece of absolutely delightful red pear that was being offered as a sample at the store. We then sampled strawberrries, pineapple, and some sort of tangering hybrid. It was delicious! The most exciting part of the trip was the raw trail mix. This trail mix had dried goji berries and cacao nibs in it, both of which I hadn't ever tried before. They were both absolutely delicious!

We had (vegan) Indian cuisine at Bombay House for dinner, then went back to Bloomingfoods for dessert. More trail mix for me!!! That's three trips in one day to my favorite place in town!

Working there over the summer should hopefully help me stay raw and keep motivated. I've been thinking a lot about my motivation lately. I think I'm going to watch a raw video on YouTube each morning after I wake up, which will hopefully keep me positive and excited about eating raw. Matt Monarch's feature on the Raw Food TV Spot is particularly enjoyable and uplifting:



It just makes me smile!
Peace and love,
