Guest guest Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Hi Helen- Thanks for sharing about this and for coming to my indoor pack up the truck 'pic-nic!' It was good to see you b4 heading out btw! I gotta find some of this kidney stuff for my Dad. us Libras need to take good care of our Kidneys..I took my Dad to Cafe Gratitude T'day. He really dug on it. He was a bit hesitant tho the mariachi band really revved him up and he settled on a warm bowl; not quite raw though good enough for a start. Then when I got him home, he asked for another salad. I didn't have any Durian to put in it tho. Oh well He's transitioning and I'm happy to be his bridge to rawdom. C'est La Vie~ Oh and can I get this root you mention and put it in a soup blended up raw in my Blend-tec? Love love love and light! Any one out there got some ides for keeping the padres in the raw?

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hi, Shakti. Congratulations for turning your dad around to raw-dom. I don't know about using the Mountain Potato/Mountaint Medicine in raw recipe. We have to experiment on it. Can you share what's on the menu of Cafe Gratitude? I'll be visiting the Bay area next year. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
