I went out and got some stuff for my raw food making quest. Considering how much I got, I didn't spend much. So I think I made out pretty well. I still want to get more. It seems I really need some raw almond butter. A lot of cookie recipes I want to try require it. I just remembered this monring that I already have raw almonds. They were on clearance at a Target in Maine, where I wouldn't have even thought to look, but the boy actually spotted them for me, so I got a bunch. They came in smaller packets so I got like 6 of them.
I still need to get the fruit roll trays for my dehydrator. I looked at Wal-Mart today but they didn't have dehydrators, let alone any accessories for them. I'll have to order them online. So making these tortilla chips might be a pain, but I'll still do it. Small batches at a time I guess.
I might be going to Whole Foods tomorrow to try to find those yummy raw cookies of years ago. I have a feeling they won't have them, but I still have to look :) I find it so funny that I was eating raw cookies before I ever realized there was a whole lifestyle for raw foods. Gods, they were good...
I've been dabating getting all of my old LJ journal postings in here. I actually kept on track with that one for a long time. I'm not sure I want some parts of my life from that in this new one, but it's still my life. So we'll see.
I'm about to leave to go for a walk. It's kind of hot, but it's been getting cooler a lot earlier lately, so I'm thinking that even though it'll be too hot when I start, it should be quite a bit better by the time I'm finishing up. At least it better be...

New Stuff!
I have decided I try at least one new raw recipe a week now that I have some extra time on my hands :)
Time for a good blog.
Ok, so, enough of the complaining... It seems I only post to vent the bad stuff, and I don't want it to be like that. It's not all the time and it's definately less lately, but I do feel better after I write about things, but I need to post either way, not only when its bad.
I read a bunch of other blogs. I go through phases of things I like doing. I always like doing those things, just not all the time. If that makes sense. I'm sure other Saggitarians would get it. So I have a lot of blogs on a lot of things I like to read. There are a few knitting blogs, raw food blogs, vegan, vegetarian, recipe, gardening, and friend's blogs. Since I started reading these blogs, I realized some or maybe even most of these people are stay at home moms, which, to a point I always wanted to be. I've realized that unless I win the lottery, which I don't even really play, that's not going to happen, but I get such a feeling of contentment thinking about some day not having to work full time to make ok money and to have time at home with my kid(s), have time to do my hobbies and interests that I see others writing about and doing, write my blog, and be a small part of this big blog world. Its weird that that makes me all fuzzy inside.
I have been doing a lot of reading into the raw food stuff. While I love the idea of it, I could never go 100% raw or vegan. I do think I could go 50% and maybe eventually 75%, but thats it. I tried my first raw food recipe... Raw Sweet Potato chips with cinnamon! They turned out ok, I should have drizzled some honey on them to add some sweetness because they weren't very sweet after dehydrating. Maybe a little sea salt too. I have another sweet potato ready for another round of chips. I really want to make raw tortilla chips, but I need more of those special fruit roll trays for my dehydrator. I only have olne for now so I'll have to try a small batch of it. I also want to make some raw cookies. When I was with my ex I lived around the corner from a Whole Foods, so I got to try new stuff from there all the time. I used to get these raw chocolate chip cookies, and I LOVED them! It was a good 5 or so years ago so I have no idea if they still make them, carry them, or if any of the Whole Foods up here in Ct carry them. I want to be able to make them. Especially if I can't find them again. I should try to find them next time I go. I wish remembered when I went a few weeks ago.
The boy and I went to a great flea market yesterday in (I think) northern Ma. I spent only a little over $25 and came home with sooo much fun stuff. I think I could have an ivy themed kitchen now. I love it! I can't wait to go again.
I lost one of my jobs last week, but I might be getting another shift at the other place starting this week. I hope so, it would really take some of the panic out of me involving money. It'll still cut it close but not like before. I am going to miss bartending though. I really like making all of those fun drinks. I might try to find a bartending job for one or two days a week somewhere again. Maybe the place I am now will let me on a slower day sometime. Oh well, for now it's waitressing. I can live with that.
Ok, I need to find something to eat and go to the local health food store.
