Funky Town

It’s Saturday and I should be at the market. But I’m not. You all know by now that this is my routine…Saturday morning getting my veggies and then time in the kitchen.


Well today I broke out of my box! That’s right…rather than get veggies then spend time in the kitchen I am spending time at The Lotus Centre, then I will get veggies (from my garden) and spend time in the kitchen. Oh nooo….imagine doing things backwards – or differently!

Here’s a little story about different food choices. Yesterday John and I went to the Detroit Institute of Art with a group of people. It was a celebration of sorts. Then we were going to dinner. Here’s where the fun begins. Normally we’d go to Chinese food (Aaack! Yes, Chinese food. What’s a raw foodie to eat there? Turns out I simply become vegetarian at these times.). Instead, this time around we convinced his family to break out of the box and try a funky little place called Taloola Café in Windsor. It was fabulous! Raw options, vegan options, organic options all within the walls of a cool little café on an out-of-the-way street. Everyone enjoyed their meals – right down to the seed and nut tray and the vegan lemon berry cake!

In fact, it was such a great space that it has inspired me. I am slightly revising my vision of the Lotus Centre’s raw food café (scheduled to be in operation October 1st). Maybe, just maybe with a few cool and funky finds I can begin to touch the ambiance created at Taloola!

Okay – more breaking out of my box now as I sauna first, then get my veggies and go home to my kitchen!


As always, wishing you health and happiness!
