Raw Food

Today I went with some new friends to this raw restaurant in Seattle.  One of the girls that I went with just recently went raw for health reasons.  So a few of us went to this restaurant.  I got "pasta".  The linguine was zucchini and it had tomatoes and pine nuts and almond ricotta and nutritional yeast and some spices and things.  It was really good.  And I felt full afterwards even though it was just vegetables.  The restaurant also has a little grocery area where you can buy all kinds of raw and/or vegan goodies.  And the atmosphere in the restaurant was just awesome.  The people that worked there were super cool.  I think the raw diet is awesome, although it would be super hard for me to do it.  I try to eat a lot of un-processed, un-cooked foods.  But I could never stick to it exclusively.  The hardest thing for me, I think, would just be the fact that most of the food is cold.  Sometimes you just want a warm dish.  Sometimes I feel like if the food isn't cooked then I didn't eat a 'real' meal.  Also I think I would miss bread the most.  I could eat just bread pretty much forever.  I have been baking about one loaf of bread per week.  And it is so good.  That would be my downfall in a raw diet.  Anyways, it was good food and good company.  I like making new friends.  It has been happening a bit recently.  A bunch of new people in my life recently.  But not just random people.  I mean people that I actually have real conversations with.  It's awesome!
