Went to Cafe Gratitude (raw foods restaurant on Shattuck) with Pauline yesterday. After thinking, like Bora, that I would not be eating there anytime soon, our raw foods blogging and my increased raw diet made me curious. So, Pauline humored me (her friend Pearl loves the place).
All the menu items are these "I am" statements. So you are supposed to go in and order in a very self-affirming way. "I am fabulous. I am satisfied. I am present. I am a little embarrassed(JK)." Then they ask you a question of the day which I assume you can answer or not. Ours was,"what motivates you?" Pauline commented that it was a good question. There are also these little sage cards with little stories and philosophical musings.
We got the "cream" of broccoli soup- I am thriving and the sampler plate- I am abundant. Everything was very tasty I have to say. Pauline said she would order the spring rolls from the sampler plate again- I am insightful. I have to say that I left intrigued but feeling like I had been to Jamba Juice, AND I was the blender. I would go back again and try the grain bowls or salads. Anyone interested?
Should we get a half marathon progress blog started?

"I am annoyed by their presentation" - comes with an INO burger, fries, diet coke, and the question: Which celebrity would you most like to date? :-)
Glad to hear people's wrestlings and eatings.
I made "nutrition soup" three times this week (without work travel my scorecard would have been better - my car smelled like broccoli when I returned to it and the soup dregs from Wednesday morning). I'm just sucking it down. Chrissy tried it and said, "It was disgusting." I guess my previous experience with it took away any expectations or shock. It seems like the texture was the real problem - a bit chewy. :-)
My mom said/reminded me that she experienced some weight loss in the first week or so of the nutrition soup regimen. We'll see about that - the wine, INO, and burrito I had this week will likely offset any losses. But getting back into my work routine will be a good catalyst.
BTW - I did a quick google search and 1/3 cup of oat bran only has 5 grams of fiber. I have three comments in response.
1) :-(
2) How does Fiber One get 14 grams into a 1/2 cup?
3) Maybe I'll skip the oat bran and replace it with FO.
