The family has decided not to cook for 2 weeks! We are going raw and live, meaning blending, juicing, soaking, and fresh! It has been quite an experience. First, we felt energized, and on Day 3 not so much folks- can you say drained and sleepy. But, we found out from our homegirl Sala that things only go up after that. As Furqan says, "We are at the beach!"- mostly because we have been sipping on the most delicious coconut water straight outta the young coconuts, and using the coconut meat for fruit smoothies. Our friends recently set up an online network for Black folks who are vegans, vegetarians, fruitarians, and raw foodists- check it out.

We have great news! We just booked our tickets to touch back home in the NYC. That means we can go to Dance Africa, hit up SoHo, get some "cooked" rice and peas at Grandma's house, and see the broadway smash "Passing Strange." We also would love to see you if you're around!

We are excited about creating our master plan to go back home for real for real. The people have spoken, and Insha'allah we will be planning our trip to Ghana for 2009! We definitely need to set up the separate travel savings account. By the way do you know anything about conscious banking?


Everyone in New Orleans has been talking about Jazz Fest. We have been talking about music too- but mostly about Santogold, whose album dropped on Tuesday. Thanks to our friends at NME we can learn more about the "happy" place Santi's music comes from. WATCH.
