Eat Dance Live

Last May, back in our cooked vegan days, one of the loveliest trips we got to take was to the White Pig , a vegan B&B in Virginia. For the first time in months (if not a few years), while traveling, we were able to eat whatever was put in front of us without having to worry whether it was vegan or not, and even whether it was organic or not. Going raw, we kind of assumed those days were over and that unless we specifically went to a raw food restaurant, we thought we'd be sitting in our hotel/b&b rooms eating fruit and dehydrated snacks we would have brought a long. Dawn, the owner of Speedwell Forge , certainly proved us wrong. When I made our reservation there about a month ago, I knew that Dawn was already very accustomed to making breakfast for people with all sorts of dietary particularities: macrobiotic, vegan, gluten intolerant, you name it! So I thought I'd give it a shot... I shyly mentioned in my reservation that we were both raw, but that we were totally okay...

Not much to post today as we were out in the 'burbs. We had a nice stroll, making stops at looking Ten Thousand Villages (where I couldn't help but buy the pretty little condiment dish featured here, I'm thinking PB&J?), Tugooh toys (the coolest toy store EVER), and Barnes & Noble (where I drooled over some raw cookbooks) among other places before going to see Sherlock Holmes , which ended up being a very fun movie. (I now have an even stronger urge to wear a bustle...) Workout of the Day: 25 minutes of sprint runs on the treadmill (warming up for 3 minutes, then alternating between a level 10 intensity sprint for 1 minute followed by a 1 minute jog, at about a level 6 or 7 intensity, finishing off with a 3-5 minute cooldown) 10 minutes of stretching Recipe of the Day: We started the day with Brendan Brazier's Apple Cinnamon Cereal from his ' Thrive Diet ' (you can find the non-raw version here ). That was probably the most exciting food-related event ...
