This is what I need -- maryland yarniers. Are you maryland handspinner or dyer? Do you sell or wanna sell your wares? Come on, are ya? If so, I need you. E-mail me...like right this minute.
Alright, since playing catch-up never works well for me, I'm just gonna jump right in with what's up right now and pepper the next few posts with pics and pieces from our trip, the one on your right is what I like to call vacation knitting, my mom rocks for giving me so much time to knit, if only I hadn't had to spend it knitting the same thing over and over and over again, but more on that in my next post after I gt through knitting it one more time.
I'm Raw, and not in that special dirty way either, food-raw, raw-foods. Nothing cooked, only raw foods. I'm doing a bit of a cleanse and metabolism jumpstart. I did two years ago for a good 2 months and felt fantastic so I'm hoping for similar results. And if I happen to lose the same 15 lbs, well, that's fine too, since I'm not being the least bit self-loathing or untrue when I say that these past few months have seen my whole body expand to where only my once loose and baggy dickies, fit. So, for a while there'll be 2 menus, the raw one for me and the regular vegan one for the boys. Regularly this would cause me some concern but when I'm raw I become a dynamo! Energetic and existing happily on few hours of sleep. I forsee much knitting in the wee hours.
Raw menu--
Pesto stuffed mushrooms
marinated portabellas and onions
marinated greens
spinach avocado dip
miso soup
chili -- seriously, sooooo good, the boys like it better than cooked chili!
dill cashew dip
date/raisen torte
lots of fruit and tomato/garlic/oliveoil/salt bowls and smoothies.
This week's vegan eats --
Raw chili, cause they like it
Mac n cheese
Roasted corn and orange quinoa
cloud nine tofu
flax banana tea loaf
oh yes, one more thing, one more desperate thing -- I returned to an inbox with over 900 spam blog comments as it seems that mt-blacklist has decided it's tired of doing it's j-o-b. Anyone use anything with movable type that works? Please share, I'm about to go freaking bonkers over here, either that or I'm gonna spend the next year in the ramada hotel, applying for loans at outrageous rates, taking cheap prescription medicine while enlarging my penis and watching scatalogical porn, and nobody wants that.
Posted by jacey at April 24, 2006 08:37 AMMy MT-Blacklist has been letting more things through than usual too, or maybe the spammers are just rallying their forces right now. Either way, it's irritating to have to go through the de-spam steps for every single one.
Can you explain this raw chili thing? What's in it?
Also: I can go to Maryland! It was tense there for a while, I was supposed to write an exam on the afternoon of the 5th, but my prof decided to make it a take home for the 5 grads in the class so that we don't have to go in a write it like everyone else, which frees me up to spend the exam time in a car hopefully almost to Maryland by then. See you there!

Hi, Jacey. Welcome back! I live in Maryland-DC area. To spin and dye I have to go to Alexandra, Va where there's a fiber workshop (Springwater). If you can get a group together, that would be just super!
