It's been a long time...

but I don't have much to say! Nothing is new and it is sad! Instead of having to wear black, grey, or white for 15 days "they" changed it to 100 for foreigners. I was so proud of myself for doing the 15! Anyway, I have decided not to discriminate against color. I don't think Thais are even wearing it anymore. Also in the news this morning, bird flu broke out (again) in Northern Thailand. I'm not very worried about this because A) I don't eat chicken, B) It cannot be spread from person to person. So if Andy gets it I'm good. I'm KIDDING! He is eating my 100% raw dinners too! Yes, that's right, I have been mostly raw for a while now. At first I went 9 days being 100% and then I think I broke it with a caramel (ok, a bag of caramels). Anyway, I am trying to be healthier and I am once again 100% raw for at least 3 weeks because...Next week I am going to this world renown spa in Samui for a cleanse. Andy has to work so I thought it would be a good time to detox, do yoga, lay on the beach or by a pool, exercise, watch movies, and fast. My friend Natalie will be going too and my friend Monica is not going to the spa, but eating raw and drinking liver flushing drinks. We should eat 100% raw for a week before and a week after. Since I am an old pro at this (thanks mom) I have been helping them with recipes so they don't go crazy eating salads all day everyday. There is an EXCELLENT website called www.goneraw.com. It has lots of recipes and discussion blogs. Last night I made Pesto stuffed Portobello mushrooms with tomato and red pepper and a broccoli salad. The broccoli salad is like the original version, with raisins, onions, and sunflower seeds and that creamy white sauce that coats it. Do you know that salad? Anyway, it is SO good I recommend making it for a potluck or dinner soon. The white "cream" is cashew nuts blended with some apple cider vinegar (which I found it at Villa!). I should just put the recipe on here. Anyway, if you want the recipe I will send it to you or you can search on www.goneraw.com I had left overs so I brought them for the girls for lunch today. It's not very hard to eat raw when you find such yummy recipes, however, I am STILL on a hunt for a dehydrator because that would increase my recipe collection at least 1000 times what it is now. I know it exists here because TESCO sells dried fruit that is not packaged. Did you know the first TESCO is opening in the US in California? I think in Hemit. Anyway, I told you I didn't have anything to write about so I had to babble about broccoli salad. When I get back I will have pictures to share and hopefully be renewed and cleansed! I am dancing next weekend at DREAM hotel www.dreambkk.com and teaching and performing in the Bangkok International Dance Festival. In March I am going to a 4 day teaching conference in Kuala Lumpur and am very excited to get trained by Marcy Cook!
