So Firedrums is coming up and I’m heading up the Raw Food in the kitchen again this year: which basically means that I get to spend my time making yummy raw vegan food for crazy hungry fire spinners. And I do mean crazy hungry. Last year I watched in amazement as two massive bowls of kale salad disappeared in less than 30 min. I’m talking the kind of bowl that is 30″ wide. so I put it out turned around to clean up and get things together and it was gone…… just an empty bowl sitting there, so I filed it up again and…..gone. in about 30 min max ~15 bunches of kale was consumed. wow, So this year were upping the game.

I’m thinking of adding a few things to the menu, I like making new stuff and I need to add a little more food to the mix, you spinners were just ravenous last year eating like crazy! )
so I’m thinking of adding breakfast this year, a yummy buckwheat, coconut, apple, granola with either nut milk or coconut yogurt. depends on the budget/and what cool foods the raw foodies bring to donate to the community meals.
I’m also considering adding a more kale salad for lunch this year (no brainier there) and changing one of the meal items out to be an Asian style sunflower seed pate over spinach. So on that note I’m heading back to the kitchen to start working on the food plan for you crazy hungry fire spinners.

I got something cool up my sleeve for you guys as well, but I’m not saying more yet.

I love to cook, or in some cases, cook with out cooking. Mary has posted to Flickr some pics of some of my best creations over the past two years. We’ve been getting into raw food (nothing is heated over around 115 deg F) so many of the dishes in that photo set are raw.  All the dishes are vegan. We have been eating mostly vegan for a while and at some point we decided to make it official.  Rather than being limiting, instead it has opened up many new realms to explore, has pushed me to experiment, try new things and discover a whole new world of flavors and enjoyment in preparing and eating food.
