I recently started reading your blog and I just joined as a follower too, yay. Anyway I enjoyed your post about local, organic, and seasonal. A great benefit to life in San Diego has been all of those 3....contrast that with growing up in MN where the growing season was about 18 days and if you wanted to eat something else, you had to truck it in.

Also on the 5 dollar a piece granola bar thingey. Holy moley! That's what I spend all day to feed myself and my toddler. Who can afford that as a snack?!

And I love your Radventures musings, too. Thought-provoking.

I am sorry because I feel like I should know this, but do you live with your boyfriend? I think you have a different female roommate, right?

I love your enthusiasim and focus. I actually really admire it. I would say, "I wish I could do it," but that sounds lame because I know if I tried hard enough I could. The hardest part for me re: the crappy stiff is having some things around that Mark enjoys, ya know? That's why I asked about whether you live with your boyfriend because I would love advice on that part.

I'm in love with the Farmer's Market too!

Your kale looks great! I just bought some last night so maybe I should attempt this! I just found 2 places right near my work that make organic juice so I plan to try some new concoctions this week as well.

i need to massage lettuce and avo. now. sounds fun (and tasty?)...haha

veggie girl has the uncanny ability to place the most bizarre flavors. her seaweed salad at pure tasted JUST like ruffles sour cream and onion chips.

i love the radventures idea. im always in the fridge cleaning phase, but them kyle goes shopping one weekend while im at work, and a whole new supply of tempting crapola. im gonna send you my digits so maybe one day when im getting off work and feeling too lazy to cook dinner, i can call you and we can meet up at one lucky duck. pink juice!!!

What a great post! Momma, you know that I love your totally balanced, open, and conscientious approach to what you eat -- raw and not raw.

and I am so stoked that you loved the salad! It is my fave. Three heads of kale weekly, I tell you.

I've had the coconut chai! I got dinner at Bonobo's with Gena a few weeks ago, and of course could not leave without trying it. SO GOOD!

love the "Radventure" term . . . I've been trying to eat more "Fresh" :-) Sometimes redefining something is all you need to make it more accessible . . .

So, what exactly are you going to do with all of those vitatops? I'd be happy to take them off your hands for you!

i need to go smoosh some avocado :) and i can't wait to hear more about your radventures! i don't know what i'll eventually end up doing (i still have some things to purge:)), but i like expanding my horizons to encorporate all sorts of good stuff!

That kale salad looks fabulous!!!

I'm super stoked about your Radventures because every day is a Radventure for me. I have never massaged kale before, but I have a ripe 'cado, some organic greens and itchy fingers. Come to mama.

Can't go wrong with a Gena recipe!! The salad looks wonderful.

Haha yes, as you can see, I always have wild comparisons for things :-D

I'd say that the Wild Bars have an overall smooth, velvety texture, with the occasional "road bump" from the nuts.
