eat this
This is a picture of raw food. Some co-workers and I went to a raw food restaurant last week. Too long to explain why.
With raw food they don't cook anything. Food is basically pounded and mashed with other veggies until it resembles paste. I had a "burrito wrap". Well the "wrap" is really a thick green bitter tasting leaf wrapped several times around the brown bean and nut paste. Some dressing was added to it but you can't taste anything because the bitter leaves are too overpowering.
So I unwrapped the leaves and just tried to eat the mush.
These were my thoughts of what it looked like:
1. Cat hairballs
2. Dried up sink gunk
3. Mother Abagail's poop. For those who have not read Stephen King's The Stand: in the book the 100 year old woman wanders into the wilderness for days, and nearly starves. The folks find her and put the dying woman to bed. It goes on to say that she's barely conscious and has a small bowel movement.The decscription of it says it's full of twigs and leaves.
and I couldn't believe that's what I was staring at it in my leaf wrap. Her poop.
that's when I decided not to eat anymore of the wrap.
Before I got there, I knew I wasn't going to really enjoy the meal, so I thought I was very clever when I ordered a chocolate shake, thinking I won't be starving if I have a decent shake.
Duh..raw drinks.
Not a shake. It's almond milk. Never knew almonds could produce milk. There's some dates and other stuff in it and it's like drinking chocolate flavored Metamucile
finally the guacamole dip and chips. The flax seed chips were not crunchy even though the menu describes it as 'surprisngly crunchy'.
No. They lied. It's chewy flax seeds . My dearly departed cockatiel bird loved flax seeds too.
Last thoughts about raw food: I know why man made fire. To cook this crap and make it taste better.

yeah i love raw foods, but not like that. we keep almond "milk" here on hand. i cannot tolerate dairy milk at all, even the lactose free stuff, so we have calcium fortified rice milk.
which resteraunt did you go to? if you ever get a chance, and you're in santa monica or west hollywood, try real food daily, MUCH better as they cook the foods there ;)

YEAH, KEEGS! PREACH IT, SISTAH!! Oh my god, I'm dying over here...Mother Abigail's poop...that is AWESOME!!!
Hey, look, nothing against healthy eating...but that whole raw food bulls**t is just so incredibly STUPID. Why anybody would willingly PAY MONEY to eat like that is mind-boggling.

mmmm. yeah, I'm plannng a trip to taste of South Street soon with some guys at work.
Part of the problem on that day was that I was talking about Irish stew dish all morning, recommending an Irish pub in San Diego to my co-workers who were going down to the Comic Con.
So I really wanted Irish stew and then I had to go to eat bean paste.
---which resteraunt did you go to?
place called Leaf on ventura
I don't mind eating healthy dishes, but jeez this was awful. The main thing is that I think these people spend too much time trying to make their dishes taste like THE JUNK FOOD THAT PEOPLE LOVE.
and they can't.
Bad food experimenting is what it is.
I would have been ok if the menu said "almond milk with_____" if the almond milk was sweetened with something else. Just don't call it a shake,cause it ain't.
--Mother Abigail's poop
yeah, I was surprised my brain went there. Well, that part of the book I always remembered because it's a such a sick discription and my thoughts just kept getting worse as I was trying to take bites .
By that time I made myself sick and just stopped eating the food. Just moved the food around on my plate to make it look like I had taken bites.

I remember doing that push-the-food-around thing as a kid when my oldest sis went on her stupid friggin' vegan kick. After a few days of seaweed soup for breakfast and Mother Abigail's BM's for dinner, I called my dad and told him to come pick me up, 'cause the stuff was making me gag. And bless my dad...he actually did come and get me.
And needless to say, every single one of my sister's kids broke a major bone that year. Some more than once. Why anybody would choose that kind of diet if they didn't absolutely have to is beyond me.

Bravo Keegs!
You've graduated from the "Gripe like Guy Academy" with this post and now are able to rant with impunity.
One small suggestion tho... if a little profanity goes a long way, just imagine how far a LOT will go?! I have, personally, yet to discover the limits of profanity and humbly submit that you too may flower under the benevolence of the holiest of holies... the "F" word!

And where does the profanity class fall in the Gripe Academy curriculum? I need to take that one...oh wait...no, I don't. We have a kid...I don't get to enjoy profanity much anymore.
