The Raw Chef Blog

Ok, i’m not feeling tired at all tonight, hence the 3 blog entries!  I think I had a full 8 hours sleep for the first time in weeks last night, and it’s knackered me out!  I actually had to have a 20 minute power knapp earlier.  I think after having that sleep last night, my body was saying, "hey, I like this, let’s have a bit more please".

Post-Christmas shopping!

Spent a bit of time in a shop called ‘Authentic’ yesterday.  As you may be able to tell from the name, they sell all kinds of spiritual goodies and it’s right up my street (metaphorically, not geographically).  They did have some things in there that weren’t really my kind of thing though…I think i’ll leave the ceramic dragons until I meet someone that I dislike enough to want to buy them a Birthday present!  If you know me personally, watch out…..you’re Birthday could be a horrible realisation of how I feel about you! :-)

I did actually pick up a present and beautiful card for someone (wasn’t it Christmas last week?) though and it seems to have been gratefully received.  Also bought some Mystic Mist and Passion Flower incense sticks, and a CD called ‘The Buddha Experience’ which is currently providing me with some beautiful ethereal background tunage. I love this type of music, they do a whole series of The Buddha Experience which I may have to make some further purchases from.

Been doing some research online to find natural packaging for a range of foods that I plan to market next year.  I’ve managed to find an excellent resource for completely natural, biodegradable packaging that’s made from 100% renewable resources so i’m really happy at the moment. :-)

New Years Eve plans

Not quite sure what i’m doing for New Year at the moment.  My house-mates are asking me to go out clubbing with them but I just don’t fancy it to be honest.  I would love to go out with them, but not clubbing, I just can’t get my head around being in a smoke-filled club around drunk people, most of whom won’t even remember the midnight celebrations…I know this from my own experiences so i’m not judging anyone, honest! :-)

I might just take a leaf out of Karen’s book and spend some time with myself, it’s a bit unconventional but i’ve heard that some people actually cook their food, now that seems a little strange to me! :-)  It could actually be the best way to see in what I know is going to be the year of my life (so far).  I think I may go up to Portsdown Hill for midnight to watch the fireworks that you can see going off all over Portsmouth. I went there last year and it was truly breathtaking, there’s a big crowd that gathers there and a real sense of community, which I love.  Strangers even talk to each other - very un-British!

Raw New Years Eve

Planning a trip to Vita Organic tomorrow which should be fun seeing as the Underground workers are going on strike!  It’s only a short walk from Victoria station anyway and failing that we could try our luck with the buses.  As always i’ll be taking pictures of my food before I eat it and i’ll do a mini-review of the place here on my blog.

What i’ve eaten today

Started the day off with an apple, orange, banana, celery, cashew, carrot, lemon, lime, avocado smoothie with Thor’s Raw Protein powder, which tasted a lot nicer than it looks now i’ve written it down!  At lunch I just had some cashews and this evening I had a chocolate smoothie made with the last of my choc powder, :-( maca extreme, bananas, water, dates and avocado.  This evening I finished off my hummus with some pomodorino tomatoes on top of which I then ate some chocolate mousse.  So quite an unorthodox day, food-wise.  I feel like I want to eat about 5 kilos of kale and avo salad tomorrow!
