I grew up in New Orleans and fig trees grew well there too. I remember a neighbor's tree that always produced a great crop. We figured ones that hung over the fence were fair game for picking. (I don't think the owner agreed, as I recall.)
Back to blueberries... I've only seen them wild in the north east US. When I was in New Zealand we lived by a blueberry farm and could buy big bags of t

There are people who don't like blueberries???!!! I can't imagine. Glad you found them, raw curious.
I'm currently living in an apartment above a garage and there is a huge fig tree behind it. I'll be able to reach figs by reaching out my back window. They're not ripe yet... but will be soon.

Apple trees grown from grafts are identical to their parent tree, but apple trees planted from seeds have very little genetic resemblance to their parent tree. This accounts for the over 7,500 known varieties of apples.
Here are a few of them:
Adam's Pearmain, Alexandra, American Golden Russet, American Mother, Api, Aromatic Russet, Ashmead's Kernel, Baldwin, Barcelona Pearmain, Barton's

I read a very interesting book called, "The Botany of Desire" and it had a section on apples. Although most orchards now have trees grown from grafts to ensure they get the same apple tree every time, if you take the seeds from one apple tree and plant them, they will make DIFFERENT apple trees!!! The crazy fact is that there are over 7,000 different kinds of apples! ...And you thoug

To me it tastes a bit like ginger beer. I like it, although it probably has sugar added.

Sorry... another vote for eating. Tabbouleh is mostly parsley. So it's not uncommon for people to eat lots of it raw.

Breast is best. Go with what Mother Nature intended. I think it's too hard to know what you'd be leaving out to risk substituting breast milk with anything else. A "wet nurse" (substituting milk from another person) may sound strange, but is second best. If breast milk isn't available, going with whatever is AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to mothers' milk would be better than a vegan baby form

la_veronique, I appreciate your story. It is amazing that when people are treated well and with respect how that influences their behavior.
I know a crumugeony old man who acts like a real grump, but I tell him that I'm not buying any of that - that I know he's a nice person, he can't fool me, underneath that crusty exterior is a marshmallow, etc. and sure enough I get a smile and nicer i

The more I make attractive, yummy raw food, the more my husband will eat it. We have a big salad every night for dinner. He loves it. Throughout the day if I cut up fruit and give it to him he'll eat it, although he almost never selects it on his own. His lunches are maybe half raw. He is an incredibly early riser and cooks his own breakfast with no meat. I prefer to wait until the sun is up

I love being out at night. When I go out and look across a field to woods by a stream nearby, the fireflies in the trees look like paparrazzi flashing camera lights. Such beauty!
There have been nights that I've heard packs of coyotes go yipping by. A bear lives near us. Many black snakes which are not poisonous are around, although I prefer not to get up close to them. Turkeys. Raccoons

74. Re: happiness
I believe in the "just do it" philosophy when it comes to happiness.
When I smile and act as though I'm happy, I actually FEEL happier. I used to wait for people to smile at me first before I smiled back. Then I realized that I was putting the burden on THEM to make ME feel good. Now, I try to smile at someone first and when I get a smile back, I feel good. That feeling is genuin

Good Luck, Stefan!
I was almost totally raw food for about a year and it certainly improved the health issues which drew me to raw foods in the first place. I also noticed other benefits of a raw food diet that I hadn't expected. Hopefully you get what you want/need from it too.
After that year, I had reasons to not stay 100% raw, although I still eat MUCH more raw food than I used to. I

Tamukha,
Power outages can happen in New Zealand too. One time the power was out in Auckland for something like three weeks! That was an oddity, though.
There can be high winds in many places in NZ. We lived near the coast and now and then there would be amazingly windy storms off of the ocean. We only had power out briefly, though.
Where I am in Virginia there are LOTS of trees.

Still in Virginia and will be here at least a couple of years. MANY trees fell on wires. Electric company repair crews have really been overworked, but I am sooooooo grateful! Our power FINALLY came on today! HOORAY!!!!!! We'll go back to our farm in NZ, but business is keeping us here a while.

Wishing I had AC. Haven't had electricity at home for six days!!! Hot. Tired. No electricity for water pump, so bathed in the river! No phone. No TV. No lights. No nuthin'! Finally have electricity at work and connected to the outside world. Another thunder storm and it was off again. Then on again. Fingers crossed it'll be on soon at home. Very tired of camping out in my own house.

I have always loved moving. It's a forced opportunity to get rid of stuff I have stashed in a box, pushed back on a shelf, left in a drawer, etc... I have to either pack it, toss it out or give it away. Knowing someone can re-use something I give away feels GREAT! I moved often as a child (and as an adult too), but as a child it was always with a loving family, so I didn't fear it.

When I was a child, my sisters and cousins would have a "Trade Day" when we would take toys, books, games, etc that we were bored with and trade them for something someone else had tired of. We didn't have much money to buy something new, so the traded item was "new to me." Negotiation was a big part of the fun.
That didn't DE-STASH, but did keep usfrom adding to our stuf

Today for the first time I picked some peaches from a tree in my garden. Heavenly.
Had a couple of plums too, but they were rather tasteless.
Apples, grapes and more to come.
So fortunate to be renting a place that someone had obviously loved.
Now I'll be enjoying "the fruits of their labors."

Coco,
I'm interested to know that you do not "celebrate" standard holidays. I don't either, although I rarely mention it to anyone. (I prefer not to be labelled as a Scrooge.) I intensely dislike the commercialism of holidays.
I used to work in a large organization where people made a big deal over co-worker birthdays - even when they disliked the person! It was more a rea

Yes. It gets strange sometimes. I can understand how people can begin to believe in fate, that they are charmed, in the power of prayer, or whatever.

It's hard to believe that there is a way to touch stinging nettle and not feel pain. I was rock climbing once and put my hand on some accidentally and it was quite painfulfor a while. Maybe there are more intense varieties? Do most people use its leaves raw? Or dry it and use a powdered form?
