message from the rock!

I can't believe it's taken me so long to write this first post from my new home. The time just flies by and it's been almost 3 weeks here already. i actually didn't have a computer for about a week or so.

but anyway!i havent been too good about the diet yet. i have been eating pineapple and bananas and apples and grapes. sometimes i have steel cut oats for breakfast. no cooking, no blending, not even milk! i just soak them over night, drain off the water and add in a little peanut butter, agave, and dried date pieces. (or banana and some coconut butter!)




I did manage to bring coconut butter in my luggage. on the first day here we toured the town and i went to the natural foods stores. i bought some mung beans to sprout. here they are in a cup from my flight on delta airlines :)



one problem is i dont live very close to the health food stores. at safeway they have pineapple and papaya for pretty cheap but other wise there isn't a lot of local produce :(
i was really hoping for avocados, but they are 2 bucks each and from mexico. hopefully if i find a farmers market i will have better choices.

i miss not having the dehydrator to make some things.

it's hard not to just eat the things that my boyfriend eats, namely wheat and beans and variations on that theme.

what i like best about being here is the warm, beautiful water, the amazing plants, and the birds and lizards everywhere. actually i have the front door open and a dove just poked its head in to look at me.

i'm still looking for work. i have interviewed at a smoothie bar. and they have something here in hawaii that i've never seen before, and acai bowl. like they pound the acai berries and add yougurt and other fruit. i haven't had one yet but it sounds very good for you. my friend sue tried one while she was in honolulu and said she could eat one every day.

more coming soon i promise. for now a beach picture:
