My current favorite evening drink? A nice cold glass of Reed's Extra Ginger Brew. Between the bubbles and the flavor, there really is nothing quite like it....

A little calm before the storm: I made up a nice pan of home made lasagna last night as a nice good bye to the cheesy goodness of my favorite italian comfort cuisine. And now you might ask? I venture into the world of RAW! A mid-winter cleanse is in store and with G-d's help it will be just what my body needs to feel rejuvenated on the inside in order to change the world on the outside. The winter is a time of hibernation. A time to look inside and digest the goings on in life. Its when we step back and say OK, when I come out of this cocoon, where am I going? Who will I be? And most importantly, how in the world will I get there? So embrace these cold days of isolation for the beauty they bring us each year and take account of where your holding. So that when the spring air moves in, your braced and ready. So that this year, when you move back out into the world, its not back out into the same old mundane life your used, but rather....into the life you want it to be, moving the whole world one step closer to perfection. 

Dear Omelet, I will miss you over the next few weeks. You were there for me through thick and thin. Always by my side with a suggestion of ultimate culinary perfection. Sometimes you handed me vegetables I had not seen in ages, other times you offered up a chance to try the cheeses I normally only sigh over at the grocery store. But you were always there Mr. Omelet. And now, I abandon you. For what? I know, and I'm sorry. But await my return Omelet, because I will be back. I would never leave you forever. Just know, that in my heart, you will always be there.
