I had difficulty getting up this morning, as I had gone to bed so late, but with a nap after classes and before some desk work, I was just fine- especially with the help of some tasty nuts I thankfully had on hand. I feel very clear-headed today. After a lot of office work, the day culminated in my first restaurant eating experience while trying to remain raw. The menu at a cheap izakaya chain called Murasaki ended up being better than I thought. I had all raw, but no, I can’t vouch for what went into the dressings and sauces. It all tasted great, as did the copious amounts of wine my colleague and I consumed. I have to say, wine hits you delightfully fast and strong when you are raw, and wine is definitely better when it’s organic (no crap in it means no hangovers, no matter how much is consumed. At least for me, anyway.)

I had:

2 shots of MonaVie (acai juice blend)
1 big slice of green melon
2 small bananas
salad (oliver oil and cider vinegar, cucumbers, red peppers, tomatoes, avocado, greens)
small bag of raw peanuts
small bag of chestnuts
cranberry juice
red wine (lots!)
Eda mame (salted beans)
daikon (radish) salad with shiso and ume boshi (pickled plums)
Korean spicy salad (greens, spring beans, hot peppers, sesame oil etc.)
sliced cucumber with light sesame dressing

I’ve been cluttering the screen with a lot of video recently, but I’ve one more I’d like to share-yet another documentary-type film preview. This one strikes me as a tad evangelical, but would like to see it nonetheless.
