Day 6: The Book of Exodus

So this morning was a little rough for the first 10-15 minutes that I was up, so let's hope that my day improves and this type of matter does not continue. I think I scarfed too many dates yesterday. I love dates!!!

Headed to Amish Country for the day with my friend Adam to hit their antique mall, along with some produce and dry goods. Can't beat their prices and it's a nice little day trip. Hopefully I'll be able to score a salad for lunch and maybe I'll either make or pick up a smoothie on the way.

This will be my first attempt to order food in an actual restaurant, so wish me luck!!

**EVENING EDIT**
So I got all stocked up in Amish Country with just about every dry good that a raw vegan could desire, along with lots of produce. I should mention that this diet is effing expensive!! Sheesh!

I had an orange for breakfast and then some dried fruits while shopping. We had lunch in an Amish diner--my only food option was a side salad with tomatoes. BOO!!!

This evening I didn't really eat dinner, but I did make gazpacho for dinner tomorrow and made some raw hummus for dipping. I have another batch of flaxseed crackers dehydrating because my first batch of "Real Toast" I followed the recipe exactly and it was totally inedible. The crackers are SO EFFING PEPPERY that I can't eat them and neither can Kirk. They have peppers, jalapeno, cumin, paprika, and cayenne. They're awful. So I have a quick batch of just flaxseed going and tomorrow I'll have to pick up more wheatberries to sprout (takes 2-3 days!) and then try again, sans peppers. Ugh.

Last night I was surfing youtube videos for raw vegan cooking and found www.aniphyo.com. Ani had this great recipe for raw apple pie. I didn't have enough of all of the ingredients, so I made raw apple crisps tonight. I'm eating mine as I type and can I just say it's effing amazing??? Both Kirk and I had a wee bit of a chocolate craving today (maybe it was starting at the bar of French chocolate from Genevieve and James that we're DYING to bust into!), so I thought I'd try to make some sweets for us.

The Mass Exodus from earlier today did have a smaller repeat when I got home, but I think I'm OK now. I just need to lay off the dates...
