Have you only been around a year?! I’m dying to know where you’re de-toxing…hahaha! I know the feeling, every June I try to go sugar and alcohol-free for 30 days, unfortunately I didn’t do that this year, and I’m sure it’ll catch up with me.
When I make David’s French vanilla I use extra large egg yolks…hmmmmmmmmm.

Aww, you’re only an hour away from me. Damn.

I don’t really love L.A. I don’t even drive up from OC very often; instead, I go south to San Diego. I bet you would love San Diego. It has a vibe and a personality that is so much more beautiful and peaceful than L.A.

Wish you were eating eating cause I would be able to tell you some fantastic places to go, from hole-in-the-wall to the other extreme. But I certainly understand doing what you’re doing. I am much in need of balance myself. Best wishes to you in your endeavor.

food is too much of a joy to eat to get all stressed about the results of eating. besides, you’re gorgeous.

Happy 1 year anniversary! I’ve only been at it for 3 months, but at the rate I’ve been gaining I’ll be buying 2 seats on a plane by my 1 year anniversary.

Nice one on your blog anniversary/birthday. I totally hear what you are saying though, why is my intense love of food and cooking combined with a sluggish metabolism? A raw vegan diet certainly sounds interesting…good luck and that ice cream looks gorgeous, I am not into minty flavoured stuff – makes me think of eating toothpaste – but flavouring it with actual mint does sound subtle and lovely…

Congrats on one year! The stracciatella ice cream sounds like an interesting way to make ice cream. I will have to try it.

Bon Voyage!

I am resting after having my left knee scoped this a.m. and trying to stay off me feet, but I’ve got some leg quarters in my teensy Welbilt oven and some ‘tater salad in the fridge–so, I’ll be packing on some pounds m’self, over the next few days.

Wave frm the plane as you go by.

Ciao!

Happy Anniversary! Believe it or not, raw food can be delicious and enjoyable in its guilt-free-ness. (But, that’s based on an occasional lunch at the raw food bar at Whole Foods not three whole weeks of it.) Good luck.

This morning I put on my favorite pair of work slacks and realized they’re a little snug. Ughhhh! Why does all the tasty food have to be so bad for my ass? I’m definitely going to have to pull out the Cooking Light for a few months to fit into my summer dresses.

Happy blogiversary!

Raw? Oh lord, if I ate like that I’d be a bitch on wheels! Good Luck… Happy Birthday to your blog and soke up all the beautiful California sun and smog.

Raw vegan cleanse? Sounds crunchy.

Good luck with all that. Weight gain is a bitch, but doesn’t have to be an inevitable part of aging.

What good timing for cleansing! Summer bounty is what is yummy now anyway.

Ha! Ha ! Ha!
You could be like me. A model who didn’t eat, marries an awesome chef. Her price to pay? 60 lbs for true love. I’m staring at my thighs as I type. If only I had put down the white truffle cream sauce or the braised short ribs.

Happy Anni. Have fun in plastic town.

A whole year! I just got on board here so I hope it’s many more years of your delightful writing voice and gorgeous recipes.

I have to say I envy you the cleanse. it’s not the kind of thing that goes well at home — too many reasons not to stick with it. So enjoy the down time and may that juice start tasting really good to you soon!

I hear ya on the food/fat/old part!! I’m on the quest right now as well. Fortunately, I’m just low carbing it so that I can still enjoy some tasty recipes. The toughest part is NO WINE. I’m going crazy with that one. Every day at 5pm I’m a little grouchy.

Good luck!!

I try and balance by eating salads for lunch or trying to do a bit better for dinners during the week. Vegan raw diet? i’d rather fucking die and die fat and early, I think. Good luck w/ it all! and have FUN if you can w/ the cleanse. maybe after a week of cleansing you’ll be ready for some beef?

Oh and I’m going to LA in August, so if you do decide to eat normally again and have any suggestions, I’d love it!

Happy anni.

Although I’m in the opposite situation as you (I’ve lost 30 lbs in the last year), I feel that I should be eating better and stand at the brink of going vegetarian for a while. No meat, no fish, just things that grow from the ground (and possibly bacon – bacon isn’t meat, is it?).

Good luck with the cleanse and smack that little flute playing bastard the next time that you see him – or maybe the next walking charicature of LA that happens to cross your path.
Gratifying either way.

I feel hungry just reading your post. No cleansing for me, nuh-uh, no way. Good luck with it. Hope you accomplish all you want to!

Ooooh, have a great time! Happy 1 year. I totally get
the need to cleanse, but it is so tricky when the passion to cook and eat fully and completely exists.
Can’t wait to hear about New York.
