	5 december 2007 a raw vegan tuna recipe - not MY raw vegan tuna recipe,but a good one! Plus holiday gifts! Hi there, A few updates, some fun things to watch and a recipe. I hope you are all doing well. I honestly have been having some ups and downs the past few weeks. It's all good - even if it's bad, it's good. I'm grieving and/but I don't mind it at all. Really experiencing what I need to experience so I can let it all go. A friend came by yesterday and saw me in a funk. She's a friend because she accepts me in whatever space I'm in. I'm grateful for that. upcoming raw food haps see my complete calendar here Wanted to let you know of the schedule of haps: • Saturday, December 8, 2007 from 9 - 4 pm the Touch of Vermont Holiday Market at Montpelier's City Hall. This Saturday is a crazy holiday fair kind of day. I am unsure how many there are scheduled for this day but hopefully you can stop by City Hall to hang out at this one. — I'll be having a raw food nut milk and truffle starter kit for sale which includes: a 9x12 nut milk bag, recipe and instructional sheet on how to use the bag, dry ingredients for making nut milk and truffles, and a DVD showing how to make nut milk and truffles. It's a great gift for yourself and others on how to make healthy alternatives to the yummy "bad" things we love to eat. This beautiful gift comes in a decorative glass jar that can be reused to hold herbs or anything that you'd like to use it for. Even if you (the "gifter") or your "giftee" isn't into raw foods, this is such a fun and unusual gift. — I'm also have a creamy, spreadable raw chocolate in decorative, reusable glass jars. This chocolate spread is gorgeous and made with really raw almond butter. It has a longer shelf-life than the super fudge balls that I sell in the stores and well, there's just MORE OF IT! It's is a perfect gift for co-workers, friends, family members or as a special gift for yourself. — I'm also selling beautiful holiday decorations made with nuts, herbs and dried or silk flowers. This is a traditional austrian method of crafting that my step-mother creates. Ornaments, pins, cards & candle holders made with cloves, star anise, coffee beans, etc. - these are fragrant and gorgeous. I'll send out links to these gift pages for you to check out and order online in case you can't make it to the holiday market. I hope to see your smiling faces there. If there is WiFi access at City Hall, then I'll be able to accept credit cards as well as cash and local checks. • Wednesday, December 12, 2007 from 6-7 pm a raw food workshop at Hunger Mountain Coop. The yummy recipe we'll be learning to make is Fig Date Squares. A perfect sweetie dish to bring to your holiday parties (or hoard for yourself - NO! I'm teasing!) Sign up with Krystal at Hunger Mountain Coop. Her email is: krystalo@hungermountain.com • Thursday, December 13, 2007 from 6-8 pm is a scheduled time for a raw food potluck although I'm not able to attend. Elainie said she'd be ok to host but I know she's also hosting another potluck this month and I don't want to impose. If anyone wants to host, please go for it. Let me know and it will be posted on the rawfood meet up site. Other news: • Wanted to let you know that another store is carrying my raw food: Sweet Clover Market is carrying some of my raw food in their grab and go section. If you live near Essex Junction, please check out this sweet natural food store. They will be carrying my eggless egg salad, rawsome chilli, not tuna, super orange fudge and super mint fudge. Yippee skippee! Something fun to watch Hey, not everything is about raw food. This will hopefully bring some smiles to your faces. One of my clients sent me this link. Here is a part of how it was sent to me: "Watch the faces of the judges as this guy walks out on the stage. You can almost see what they're thinking as they pre-judge this guy based on his looks and the fact that he's a cell phone salesman. Maybe this guy stopped believing in what people told him for so many years and ultimately started listening to his passion.” Well, this just brought tears to my eyes. I'm a sucker, ok, it's true. I showed it to my kids and then we did a search got on a little you tube kick. So here's some more fun snippets: - This is the same guy as above. I've never seen these reality shows but I really enjoyed these little you tube videos. - Same dude singing Nessun Dorma. This was apparently his winning performance. Do you know this guy has an album now? Holy cow. Great story. - Pavarotti doing the same piece. Gots to show the legend, now don't I? My son and I were cracking up at the end. So awesome. - the 3 tenors doing the same. They are just kickin' ass here. and two more tear-jerkers for me: - the audition for this little 6 year old girl - her finalist performance. such a sweet little voice. my kids were impressed, too, that she got up on stage and sang to lots of people. very cool. raw food recipe of the week Tuna-Salad Sandwich I just had this for dinner tonight. Very good and it makes a lot so there will be some more for future meals. Oh JILLIAN! Wanna have some lunch with me?? :-) credit goes to this dude James: http://www.goneraw.com/ I've rewritten the recipe so it makes more sense. Ingredients for Tuna Salad 2 cups almonds 3 stalks raw celery, diced 3 green onions, thinly sliced 1 tablespoon chopped parsley 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 clove garlic 1 teaspoon pink or celtic salt, finely ground 2 dashes cayenne pepper *Linda's preparation:* I just threw everything in the food processor and processed the hell out of it. Ingredients for Avocado Mayo large avocado 1/3 cup soaked, chopped seaweed (I used dulse but the recipe said nori and wakame are good) 1 cup pine nuts 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 4 pitted dates (I used 2 tsp of agave) 1 clove additional garlic 1 teaspoon celtic sea salt 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon each dill, thyme, basil (optional) (I used 1 tsp italian seasoning) *Linda's preparations:* Again, I threw everything in the food processor and processed until it was very creamy. Preparation for the Sandwich: Mix 1/2 of the mayo with the almond mixture. You can add more if it’s too dry. James' option here: I marinated some sun-dried tomatoes for a day in olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and italian spices and then chopped them and added about 1/4 cup. It rocked. Now, build the sandwich! Take a big collard leaf and spread some of the mayonnaise in the center. Add as much of the ‘tuna’ as you like, and top with sliced avocado, sliced tomato, mesclun greens or sprouts, raw black olives if you like, and freshly cracked pepper. Roll it up, cut it in half, and try not to stuff it all into your face at once! *Linda's note:* it's difficult not to over eat this! Portion it out and then PUT IT AWAY and don't look back until tomorrow! It's quite tasty. It tastes more like salmon - very rich. Of COURSE I think my tuna recipe is better but this is pretty good. wink-wink ;-) Enjoy RAWdient health, Linda	Welcome to Vermont Fiddle Heads Linda Wooliever Raw Vermont 18 Worcester Village Rd, Worcester, VT 802-223-2111 read my blog check out my calendar receive my newsletter check out the archives subscribe to my rss feed Our mission is to nourish our local and extended community by providing an outlet for commercial and creative endeavors.
