I’m still doing the raw diet. Last night, I prepared a large and delicious salad. Plus, I got to use my salad spinner, which I only used twice since I bought it in 2008.
Since I have a financial deficit (I’m broke and it’s no joke), I cannot afford the pre-washed greens. I have beautiful green leaf lettuce, but it is dirty. I can actually see the dirt on the leaves.
When I was making my salad, I could not figure out how I was going to wash the lettuce and dry it so my ruby, red grapefruit dressing will not be diluted. That was when I remembered my salad spinner. I was so happy. My lettuce came out clean and dry. Why the hell have I been paying 2.99 for lettuce when I can get it for .99, and spin that shit? That’s what I’ve been asking myself since last night.
Green salad:
Green leaf lettuce, cherry tomatoes, half of green bell pepper, garbanzo beans, Greek black olives, a handful of parsley, clover sprouts, half of an avocado.

Grapefruit Dressing: 1 shallot, 1 clove of garlic, half of a red grapefruit, half of a lime, red pepper flakes, a pinch of kosher salt.
Combine the minced garlic clove and the sliced shallot in a bowl then squeeze the lemon and grapefruit over them (this is important because the citrus fruits mellow these root veggies). Then add the salt & red pepper flakes to taste.

I’ve had a headache since I woke up. I think it is from eating less cooked food. Many of the raw foodist that I have researched and spoken to, tell me that this is normal. Apparently my body is rid itself of toxins. However, I do not feel weak like many people have reported, but it is only the third day.
This morning, I blended a personal seedless watermelon (the whole thing) and a cup of strawberries for breakfast. I’m saving my cooked meal for dinner tonight. I went to the gym on this fruit. I did an hour yoga and an hour of Zumba.

On the spiritual side, I told myself to spread love to humans and think of the many blessings in my life. That was before I got cut off in traffic and started calling people dumb-asses. I came back to my senses and chanted to myself “Today, I will not be an asshole. Today, I will be kind to all humans.” My mini-mantra worked because I did not curse at two bitches who invaded my space and stood in front of my yoga mat, and I mean close like not even an inch away. I found that to be a hostile act because there was plenty of room in the large dance studio for them stand and talk, and neither one of those bitches was near her own mat. They made it a point to invade my space. However, I sat down on the edge of mat and smiled while I gathered myself. I am still a crazy, angry, asshole, who needs to refrain from the consumption of meat. Namasta
