Go, Matt! Those apples are gorgeous. I need to get up to my favorite orchard soon before the apple season is over. I've been buying NC apples from the local farmer's market. Great picture!
Hannah and I are planning to attend the meet-up this evening. She has an appointment on that side of town so we will already be over there. We do enjoy the meetings, it's just tough driving over at the end of the day sometimes.
Hope to see you very soon!

Wow! Your are definitely in the Kombucha business now! The pictures look great! About the boiling of the tea, some raw food purists actually make their Kombucha using Sun Tea. Even with the brewing process though, you are creating a living product. So, it's all in how you want to look at it.
We had planned to come and then had some unforeseen changes arise.
HOPEFULLY, we will really be there the next time in body as well as spirit!
I tested a SCOBY. The Kombucha that it produced is a little week. I think it is because it was dormant for so long. I hope to get more batches up and brewing before the next meeting. Hopefully the SCOBYs wil regain their strength.
I was disappointed with the Star article. Here the writer is presented with these amazing facts about Pamela's
enormous strides in conquering diabetes. Then she (Shari ?) has to go and write about what "nutritionists" think of the raw food diet! Let the results stand for themselves! Healing is taking place! I commented on the Star page letting them know what I thought. I'm sorry that your comments were omitted.
It sounds like you are gearing up for 1-1-10. I think you are wise in your approach.
We are going to Wisconsin next week and hope to stop at Cousin's raw food restaurant for lunch on the way.
I can't believe the prices are so reasonable for RAW FOOD! Pamela said that you and Kim went on the 18th.
What was your experience?
I hope the meeting is well attended and that you have a great time!
I saw where you asked Hannah about the Durian. I have to say it certainly had an interesting flavor. I wouldn't eat the frozen version again, but would like to try the fresh.
Have you continued on 100% raw or have you gone back to your prep for January?
I'm sorry about your SCOBY. I think it was a little underdeveloped to handle a whole gallon of tea. But you were on the right track. I'm sorry, my daughter and I won't be able to make it tonight after all :( But I will make a note to bring the SCOBY to the next meeting.
I hope you have a great meeting! Have fun with the reporter.
Great :) It's a pretty one ! It does look a little thin so you may want to make a small batch, like a quart or a half gallon at the very most to start. You will get a baby and may need to keep the baby with its mother for a couple of batches so it gets strong and healthy :) I''ll bring one of mine for you as well (Ugly, but you can't judge a SCOBY by its cover lol!)
