Raw Food Green Juice BREAKFAST PART DEUX

The Simple Things

It's been about three days since we've been here in our house in Umbria. I feel so totally relaxed and I have to wonder what's keeping me from living like this all the time... Such a big part of me wants to just forget about school and work and just live off of my immediate surroundings. Having a tiny (hyper efficient and good looking) house in the country with a biodynamic farm sounds so good right now. I can't stop thinking about work, money, and whether or not I'm actually going to be able to support myself one day. It's a shitty mental rut to be in, but seeing how beautiful this house is reminds me of it's price tag. It's not so much that I want to be filthy rich or anything, it's more that I just want to be able to afford the lifestyle I've always envisioned for myself. Quite frankly I don't want to be 50 and still slaving away for some firm that I don't give a rats ass about. I'm nervous that that will be my fate. Then again I suppose that my future is largely what I make of it, but G-d willing that there's no extenuating circumstances that prevent me from fulfilling my dreams, I suppose I just have to trust that G-d will steer life's metaphorical ship in the right direction. I also just want a job where I'm excited everyday to go to work. Let's hope all of that happens haha

Sorry for the sappy stuff. Sometimes it's better just to channel fear into something tangible so that you can see just how small and insignificant those fears really are.

BREAKFAST CHEZ LES CHAMPIONS

I'm back! Well sort of...

Ok so it's been forever since I've posted and frankly I don't expect it to pick up again until school is back in session. I've been SO busy and work has taken over a huge portion of my life, but once I'm back in Malibu, I can start to take my blog and YouTube channel more seriously. Raw has unfortunately taken the back seat for a while and I'm more than anxious to get back on track. August is looking pretty good so far in terms of free time so I'm hoping to be able to take advantage of it and get cooking! I am leaving for a family vacation in Italy tomorrow and I can't wait to have a mental respite from the insanity. However I doubt too many dishes will be raw on this vacation haha

Best,

Cliff (ps I got an iPhone!)

branching out

ok so i'm having a hard time sleeping so i'm going to write a quick post. here goes.

i am very happy with how my diet has been going. while it's been far from 100 percent, i'm happy to say that at least 2 out of 3 of my meals every day is raw, which is so much better than being totally raw and then binging on cooked for for 3 or 4 days. That predictability in my diet i think is allowing my body to assimilate better. (and my family for that matter.)

What's been really great though is how I've been able to shake up my meals. I have several different "staples" that I make on sundays, and then i can mix and match them to create different dishes so that i don't get bored / disenchanted.

i just bought any phyo's book, and although i think some of it may be quite dull, i think i found a winner of a "veggie burger" recipe today. it smelled so goooood.

AND, i got this bomb recipe for lemon cookies that a coworker of mine really wants to try. those are amazing and even look like real cookies which is pretty cool.

i have been eyeing russell james' dvd sets, (one of which is 500 fucking dollars), and i think i might just have to get that for a christmas present.

On a final note, I AM GETTING THE IPHONE 4! YAHOO! 21st bday present baby! so tight! I can't wait to have everything at my fingertips like that. I'm looking forward to how it will make my life a bit more efficient / productive... but damn that phone is sexy, and once it's topped off with a few EMF fending devices it's gonna be SWEET!

Ok so it's 11 pm now and i'm going to get 0 sleep now (fuck) so imma hit the hay.

best,

cliff
