So.. big changes. so big it's hard to believe.
My boyfriend and i are moving to Oahu. we have less than two weeks to do this, but we just got a place last night and he will be a kiteboarding instructor in Kailua.
i have been wondering how this will effect my raw food diet. i know food will be even more expensive there. and i have read a few places that locally grown food is sometimes priced higher than imported! (whaa??) well i'll just have to deal with what i find when i get there.
but on the upside, when i think of the staples of a raw diet (avocados, coconuts, nuts, bananas) i think tropical! some of these items grow along the streets in hawaii! so it should be easier to get these items fresh and local. :D
I'll bring along my sprouting lid and maybe my blender. don't know if taking the dehydrator will be doable :( there is a co-op in our new town and a vegetarian organic restaurant. i'm sure i will have a lot to discover and share.
bummer is a cant bring Anything from my kitchen except a sprouting jar lid :( this means no dehydrator, knife set, mandolin, juicer, blender, food processor. all key raw food tools. :(
I don't suppose you could ship some of the kitchen stuff? I know how useful it's been to you. Or is it that you won't have room once you get there for it?
ReplyDeletewell, for some of the kitchen stuff, the cost to ship is outwieghs it's actual value. like the blender is so heavy it would cost a lot just to ship that. and there will be lower quality alternatives available for cheap. (used blenders, knives, cutting boards...) and our kitchen will be fairly itty bitty. half the size of what we have no and i couldn't manage to keep what we currently have uncluttered. we really wont have the counter space or cabinets to keep too much. now that may change when if/when we move to a bigger place. but basically we will be in a hotel room for 3 months. i may pack the mandolin slicer in a suitcase, as it is pretty flat, light, and not too delicate.
