Day 10

This morning I whipped up a bunch of things to take to my sister's for dinner.  I had asked her to get the heart of the meal -- all the veggies (and chicken for the non-raw people) while I put together sauces and dips.

It culminated in the most DELICIOUS Mexican meal.  I made (all raw of course) a cheddar cheese dip, some fajita "meat" (which was mostly walnuts) some sour cream and then spread all of that on a flour tortilla mixed with the marinated veggies, and I am telling ya right now, IT WAS TO DIE FOR.

Now, I had purchased some sprouted grain corn tortillas at the health food store, and my first fajita was in one of those.  But it was horrible.  It tasted like cardboard, and well, if it doesn't taste good, then I'm not going to bother.  So without a second thought I spread it all out on the flour (and yes, cooked) tortilla.  And you know, who cares!  It was so darn good.  I am still anxious to make my own dehydrated tortillas -- but until the dehydrator comes, I just have to make do.  Oh, and did I mention these were SO GOOD?

My niece had made my son a birthday cake (I was gone over his 13th birthday) and while everyone ate that I took a few bites out of a raw truffle that was just so sweet.  But I didn't feel deprived.  And really, cake isn't all that great!  I could have made something comparable, but I didn't really care.

I also bought some young Thai coconuts at the health food store and cracked one of those open.  Oh, they are so refreshing.  I kept wondering why I wasn't getting all zappy with energy, between that and the truffle.

I figured that out the next day.
