Blog "catch up"

Part of the reason I haven’t had time to blog is because I signed up for an Internship program through Frederic Patenaude to learn about having a successful online business. It’s something that I’ve been interested in for a very long time. Also, I’ve been doing some side work for some old friends that I worked with. I’m creating business cards and brochures for their engineering company. Anyway, I’ve been busy around the clock…lol.

Well, let me go ahead and start listing my daily raw…

Sunday, 1/6/08

On Sunday I spent most of the day making raw treats that I found on the Sunny Raw Kitchen. I made Mediterranean bread (I made it a little too spicy for me…but it was still very good), seed cheese (which was good and tangy, but the raw garlic killed my stomach), avocado mayo (a new simpler recipe and still very good), and egg less salad (absolutely fabulous, out of this world, and super delish!) So, I made myself a sandwich to eat, and took a picture:
