I’ve almost finished Tish’s new website “Radiant Children“. It’s live now, Tish officially “opened” it a couple of days ago. It’s to promote her new eBook on how to bring up children on a raw food diet. It’s got all the usual stuff plus a journal and photo gallery using “Gallery” (yes, that’s really what it’s called!) software.

Lots of catching up today after being away for six days. Unpacked a large box of superfoods for the shop, we’ve now got 1kg bags of Goji Berries and some delicious fresh dates from Iran. Also decided to give a free sample of coconut butter with every order for the month of Feburary.
Made a very nice dressing for tonights salad:
1 avocado
2 large handfuls seaweed flakes (dulce, nori and sea lettuce)
a bit of spring onion
1 medium carrot
4 cherry tomatoes
1 soaked sun dried tomato and some of the soak water
1/4 tsp maca
a little water to blend
Put it all in the Vitamix and blend, adding more water if necessary.
Hope you like it!

Where have I been these last few days? Well, I started a 10 day Vipassana meditation course. If you don’t know, it is suposedly the path to “Enlightenment” as originally taught by Gotama Budah. 10 days of meditation, no talking, daily lectures (on video). It was definatly interesting, some of the meditations went quite deep and I felt energy flowwing through my body on a couple of occations. I survived 4 days but just couldn’t do anymore. Just not my style, I think having to get up at 4am really did it for me. And I was missing Chocolate Pudding and all my other favorite raw foods!
