We Need Your Help: CLAAW

-
We interrupt this blog for a very important guest post from CLAAW:

Hello Food(less) Journey readers,

We have agreed to do this guest post to bring your attention to a very important subject.

Around the world abuse and abandonment are affecting a very high risk population.

It is time we all take a stand on the side of justice and do something about these abuses.


These victims are hiding in plain sight.
And they need your help!


Imagine the scene:

You are walking down the street and you see lying helpless and abandoned:


This weave was rescued fromt he middle of a sidewalk where it was nearly trampled to death.


This weave was found scared and abandoned in a residential neighborhood.


The above weave sought refuge on a transit bus where it huddled scared in the corner.


This poor weave was found in a residential area. Dirty and battered it was
crushing clay bricks into stone and selling the pebbles to Goldfish owners.


This rare "curly" weave was found digging in the garbage and was
 subsequently trapped and released into the wild.


This poor weave was near death. Deyudrated and parched by the summer
 sun we shielded it with our shadows until a rescue vehicle could arrive.


Coalition for Lost Abandoned and Abused Weave (CLAAW) needs your help!!
Please donate what you can. Every dollar helps to find a home for these lost and
abandoned weaves.

I love boxes of Stuff!

I received a reviewers box of goodies from the Brad's Raw people last Monday and I really couldn't wait to share it with you.  However, when they said they were sending a sampler I was expecting tiny sample-sized packets, but this is what I got: And since I'm working on not being a greedy gus, I didn't immediately rip into all the packages and devour them. I did eat almost a whole container of the Naked Leafy Kale chips for dinner, but that was out of necessity since i haven't been shopping... Even though I don't strictly follow a gluten free or raw diet, I'm always on the lookout for a good tasting, portable gluten free or raw snack. I usually lean toward the Raw sweet snacks, but I'm open to more salty or savory ones. Along with the box of tasty vittles there was a nicely packaged information folder about how the company started and who Brad is. Brad was the typical American guy (i.e. overweight and unhealthy), but that all changed when he m

In my attempts to reduce my stress load I have rediscovered one of my favorite de-stressors: relaxing with a hot cup of tea. Ive read wonderful things about the relaxing benefits of Earl Grey tea spiked with Bergamot. I have to admit I'm a bit of a tea snob. I like to be able to see the composition of the tea in the bag. I find it thrilling to look in the tea bag and see bits of dried orange and lemongrass. This, of course, can do terrible things to ones wallet. So, in the interest of pinching pennies (sounds gruesome for those poor pennies) I considered the lower costing teas. To be perfectly honest I was not hopeful when I selected this tea. But for a change the tea that cost the least ($2.99) was surprisingly good (Mind you i was shopping at Whole Foods and its pretty hard to buy an awful product there). Bigelow Tea has a wonderful quality to its taste even though it is not a whole leaf tea. And as I was perusing the tea boxes I noticed that it is one of the few teas that has ac

Do you ever Treat Yourself?

Of course I do! But after eating whole foods for so long, my treats tend to be "real food". A treat for me is a trip to Chipotle, Whole Foods prepared foods section, or just cooking something I can't afford regularly (i.e. something with artichokes, avocado, etc.). But that is not to say I don't have non- whole food treats. But feel free to laugh at my list of "naughty" treats. It is kind of annoying when I say I have a craving and my friends laugh because my cravings are relatively "healthy". Anyway, here is a sampling of what I've been indulging in this summer. So Delicious Coconut milk ice cream in Cherry Amaretto with a dollop of Coconut Butter Tortilla chips topped with nooch cheese and tomato sauce Sweet potato fries with peanut butter and coconut butter Soft Pretzel at the Pittsburgh Pirates game Pirates won! Ice coffee with soymilk and maybe a shot of Torani syrup...
