A Dinner Out and a MoFo Wrap-Up

November 30, 2007

Durian

It looks innocent enough.

When I first realized that not only were some of my childhood food allergies back, but that I had also gained some new ones, I considered going raw. I was thinking that, particularly in the case of gluten, raw might really work for me. But then I contemplated that 50% of raw recipes contain sesames or tahini and wondered what it would be like paying $3000 a month for produce in the middle of winter. I quickly abandoned that plan. I still enjoy a good raw meal from time to time, though, which is why I was kind of excited that my friend wanted to check out Bonobos for dinner last night. That, and because if you have a brownie for breakfast you have to do penance at dinner by eating nothing but vegetables and fruit. (You didn’t expect me to freeze them all did you?) I quickly selected a nutmeat patty on a nice platter of veggies and some coconut water.
