Back in December I shared a post on how to make kimchee using the Harsch crock, a heavy-duty fermenting crock. We’ve used it multiple times and are really pleased with it. Still it’s expensive, and unless you intend on fermenting on a regular basis it is likely cost-prohibitive to purchase something like it. For a [...] No related posts.

Maybe five or six (or seven) years ago my husband, who was my boyfriend at the time, and I learned about the raw food diet. I was willing to try it out, and did so for approximately five days, if I remember correctly. A few years later, which was really only about three years ago, we were reminded of the raw food lifestyle by way of an article on CNN.com. After some back and forth, we decided that we'd try raw for a month. After our wedding. After our honeymoon, which was nine day cruise to the Caribbean. As you may be aware, cruises typically add on at least 25 or 30 pounds just because of the huge variety of food (I exaggerate - a bit), so of course, we couldn't start to be healthy just yet. So anyway, we got married, went on our honeymoon, then came back and started the "30-day challenge". We kept an online food diary, mainly shared with family. I had evangelized the raw food diet to my mother when she was in town for our wedding, and she was dead set against even trying it. Then she secretly tried it as we were trying it. No related posts.
