Raw Surfing Safari part 2!

Happy day all!!

Better late than never eh! ahah

I have been so busy lately that this video near a week late!!! Thanks for your patience :)

So much excitingness goin on, Whoa!!! A huge special anouncment!!

My first two t-shirts

are all finished and ready for purchase here

http://the-raw-advantage.com/ts/

P.s if you tried yesterday and the button didnt work, it is now fixed!!!

Peep em out!!!

On to the show!!!

Here we have the 2nd half of my 8 day consult with old friends Jeremy P. Mike B. n many new friends at their summer editing pad in San Clemente. Expert filmers and editers they were busy editing for the new Forum Snowboards video! I feel blessed to have been asked to stay with them with the plan to introduce the raw diet to their home n co workers for a trial cleanse n summer health booster :)

I must say they enjoyed it much and have since increased their consumption of the whole fresh raw ripe goodness!!

Recipe after recipe was served, much from my “101 Simply Delicious Raw Recipes” ebook available for instant download by donation, with the rest being showcased in my upcoming ebook “Low Fat Raw Gourmet and Cravings Busters Transitional Recipes” with launch date to be announced :)

While surfing I slipped and fell, my board got swept over the falls hitting me in the arm really hard. I shook it off without too much thought only to find out a few hours later that I had sliced open my arm cutting right through the wet suit. The cut was wide and deep through my fat layer needing stitches. Wisely or foolishly figuring this may just be a great opportunity to learn how to self stitch for emergency purposes (and too lazy to go through insurance and go to a hospital) I decided to stitch it up myself! Welcome to Stitches 101 with Chris Kendall from the raw advantage!

While at the beach I felt blessed to session Bob’s half pipe at his dwelling in carlsbad. He lives with the owners of “Surf Ride” a sweet skate n surf shop in southern cali. Thanks much to them for letting me sk8 their ramp, it was really fun! Skating mini ramp is one of may favorites, this particular ramp was a treat. Thanks Dustin for skating it with me hope to sesh with you again :)

On my 2nd last day there we filmed a lill bit of surfing at a break called trussels just down the street. I managed to ride 2 waves that day and got footage of the tail end of one of my rides, thanks much for the filming Courtney :) More surfing in the future, I have the rest of my life to get epic n hang ten brahhh ahhaha. Really cant wait, i plan to surf much much more in the tropics.

For our last day I treated everyone to some Durian, one of my faves, some liked it others not so much! I wanted to make our last dinner fancy so I made two of my favorite new recipes from my upcoming transitional recipe ebook. Raw Coconut Curry over “Rice” and Raw Tom Yum Soup ( a favorite of many ive tested it on :) . The plan is to have the whole book together before snow falls in Canada, times have been tight and its only growing in size and quality!! I promise it will be worth the wait, especially as it will be up for donation!!!

Hope you enjoyed the Surfing Safari!!! Next week will be back to the berrics! :)

Live in with Steve Berra Week 4!!

Happy day!

Time is a flying! Thanks for patience with these posts, been a busy bee the last while and just finished this sweet blog!

So much goodness in this one, many a peek into my upcoming transitional ebook, much skate action and the almighty Durian!!!!

Check it out!!

Well well well where to start!!

I finally foraged some neighborhood trees out here in the hills, filled with Loquat they are! Even in Steves backyard there was one lonely Loquat tree ripe for the picking! They are a delicious large seeded sweet fruit, tastes similar to canned peaches when nice and ripe and closer to a crabapple when just under ripe. I noticed many of the tree’s dont even getted picked from, many rotting around the base and took it upon myself to liberate them :) ahha A nice bag a few times a week n whalla foraged breakfasts! mm some of my favorite! WHenever i am in a area and eating from tree’s found locally I take it upon myself to re plant some of the seeds :) Take note of the soil and areas you find the trees and replant their seeds in similar locations. Together we can help make a more fruitful future for us and the wee ones! Show kids how to plant seeds along river banks, any rich soil, parks, your back yard,  anywhere a nice fruit tree/bush could grow!!! viva la fruit plating revolution!

This video blog is jammed with some of my newest transitional recipes for my upcoming ebook that I am really excited to release

“Transitional and Low Fat Raw Gourmet Cravings Busters!”

Slowly compiling right now!! I have 7 other raw foodists/chefs/enthusiasts donating their favorite recipies as well as much factoids tidbits n hints to making transition as painless and self loving as possible. I myself had some sharp pangs in my tranistion its truly my wish to make it easier and tastier for you :) Should be ready within a month or two, time is tight with my full time consulting right now patience patience :)

Some key recipes featured in the video    (sorry no recipe demo’s with the time restraints of my consults fun = more anticipation:)

“Sun dried Tomato Pizza”    ”Mexican Pizza”      ”Cheesy Butternut Noodles”         “Mac n Cheese”      ”Tom Yum Soup”       “Pad Thai”

“Coconut Curry Stir Un-fry”         “Coconut Apple Pie”              ”Sweet Curry Stew”           and much more!!!

Since my foots been healing up nicely I have been out sk8ing more with Steve and other amazing skaters. One session had Steve Berra and Heath Kirchart playing a friendly game of skate. All has been flowing great both Steve and I getting on top of our game, we too have been playing skate, its been great! Jim Greco has been on the raw program, helping heal some digestive disorders and regain extra health! A sick back 360 ollie down the 7 stairs and a bit of talk about how he is feeling on the raw diet reveals much :) The benefits and ease of low at raw is spreading out here, results just cant be ignored nor stopped! :)

I love Durian, the almighty “King of fruits!” said to “Smell like hell but taste like heaven” ( I like the smell, honest ) It truly can be a aquired taste. On our last day together before i partake in a quick trip home and Steve a trip to Napal, 1 full month, we celebrated with coconut apple pie and durian for lunch. Most of the people in the office hadn’t tried Durian before so it was a real treat to spread my love of this exotic and unique fruit to them all. Reactions ranged from “its not bad”, to “i love it”, to “eww I am going to puke” ahhah. All in all 3 people out of 9 didnt like it a few enjoyed it and 3 of us loved it :) Steve was repulsed!

I promise to do a entire post on durian with more facts and fun info, here is simply a intro to one of my faves. One of the few sweet fatty fruits durian can be a meal of its own, just like any fruit :)

With that our first month was completed, Steve went to Napal with Leonardo Dicaprio to help with the WWF save the Tigers, and I went home to my family in Saskatoon to help share some fam love :)

All for another video blog :) till then

enjoy much
