Wow!

Yet another blog post from me!!! First off, I'd like to announce my newly acquired position as deli cook at Bloomingfoods on 3rd St. in Bloomington, Indiana!!

I'm having a wonderful day. I decided last night that I would eat raw today... it's really phenomenal.

After my first shift at work I had a salad with carrots, cabbage, zucchini, celery, green pepper, raisins, alfalfa, broccoli, and oil & vinegar. I also had a cucumber/tomato/onion salad with oil & vinegar, as well as a banana, a few grapes, and a couple pieces of canteloupe.

I dashed over to Bloomingfoods after calling my mom to wish her happy Easter. I grabbed half a pound of banana chips, some raw trail mix (the gogi/cacao stuff!), some dates, a couple apples, carrots, and kiwi. Hillary called and said that she and Shana were on their way over to Bloomingfoods, too! That was a lovely surprise. I sat and ate with them for a bit and then returned home.... to finally try out my new juicer!!!

I learned how to work the juicer and juiced two carrots, two apples, and about 1/4 cup melon, and half a dozen or so very large purple grapes. I have to say, the juice was absolutely AMAZING. I haven't ever had a better glass of juice in my life, hands down. Here's a pic of me enjoying the lovely concoction! Go make some, if you can!!

Drinking that juice certainly made me believe that I could embark on a long-term juice fast sometime in my lifetime... hopefully later this year, if things go well in the summer! I can undoubtedly try a short-term juice fast sometime soon. Mmmm!

Peace and love,
Sam
