So I actually didn't start eating "raw" til tonight which ended up being the most amazing first raw night ever! Zoe and I went grocery shopping at the Wedge and I almost broke the bank but really half of it is stuff I wont buy every week. It was so fun foraging around the produce section for about a half an hour give or take. After the Wedge and scooting our full carts through the snowy parking lot we went to Ecopolitan which I later learned from Zoe is the only raw food restaurant in MN. Kinda lame but ooohhh so tasty! I ordered Rawvioli and it was to die for! I seriously almost cried... Then came desert where we had the most delicious parfait made with a frozen banana base I believe and then nuts, dates, carob whatever mixed in. The other part was coconutty and sweet, almost like the inside of an almond joy. I am really not doing the meal any justice but I will take anyone who wants to go sometime. After we stuffed ourselves, we each bought some young coconuts which I am going to dig into tomorrow morning without hurting myself or losing a finger!
There is an excitement for this adventure that I haven't felt in a long while. It's almost like I am about to go on vacation somewhere new. You know how that feels? It's nice knowing I will be taking care of myself and having fun with it all at the same time. I come from an Italian background, and food is kinda important there... :) Its something that brings people together, and is precious. Anyhoo, Im happy, and can't wait to see what this first week brings! Baby steps always.
til then ta ta
