Christmas Bounty! Holy COW!!!

Thank you to all who contributed to the veritable mountain of Christmas Cheer. I haven't had a Christmas this amazing since I got my cello in 2005. So here are the unbelievable gifts that my family and friends got for me for Christmas. I still am in shock!

• an Excalibur 9-tray dehydrator (thanks, Mom & Dad!)
  


• a food slicer (like the deli meat kind, but it's AMAZING for use with veggies when you want to quickly slice something for dehydration, salads, etc.) (Thanks, Dave!)



• a Food Saver vacuum sealer - best on the market, IMHO (Thanks to Dave for this, too! I'll slice, dehydrate and store lots of yummy stuff for you! Hey, you're advancing from just green smoothies and chocolate now. I'll turn you into a raw foodist, yet!) ;o)



• a 25-piece glass bowl set with lids. I can use these for salads, leftovers, food prep, making un-cooking videos for GRNC, etc. SO glad to have moved up from plastic to tempered glass. No more guck in my food because there's no guck to leach from glass like there is with plastic. (Thanks, Jason)



• Ecstatic Beings, by Shazzie and Kate Magic. Probably the best book I've ever read. (Thanks to Jason for this, too!) And thanks to Shazzie and Kate for being such great cake mates that you could write this hilarious, wonderful, fun and profound book!



• Evie's Kitchen, another book by Shazzie about how to raise a kid on raw food. (And thank you yet again, Jason for such generosity and consideration.) Well, it's actually about you going/being raw and detoxed before you even conceive, then goes through breast feeding, then moving a child to solid-but-raw foods. Then it just keeps going, giving all KINDS of amazing tips and info about how to raise a healthy, ecstatic, raw kid, all the way through to adulthood. I don't want to give birth to a child of my own, but it's very helpful info since there's already a child in my life, through Jason. Special thanks to Shazzie for taking the time to write this. All our paths will be exponentially easier for your having written this book. And an EXTRA special thanks to Evie Popple Cake, for being such a brilliant, radiant little Ecstatic Being, and for allowing your Mummy to get all public about you and your eating habits.

Like I said, a veritable mountain of gifts. Thank you so much to all who gave these to me. They will make my raw food consumption, and that of those who live in my home, a whole lot easier, complete, and healthy! :oD
