Raw Banana Flax Bar: It&#8217;s what&#8217;s for dinner

Some of you may already be familiar with the raw food movement; a food philosophy that suggests the consumption of foods that are never cooked above 116 degrees farenheit are more nutritionally dense and retain enzymes that facilitate absorption of the nutrients in the food.

		<description><![CDATA[

Engagement diamond or polar ice cap? Impossible to tell.

Dear Readers,
So as yet another single female friend recently jumped onto the wedding-band wagon, I could no longer sit silently by without issuing this warning to the world (or, the eight readers of my blog):
Marriage is a safety hazard.  
You think I joke, but I&#8217;m trying [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Stick My Fingers In Other People&#8217;s Mouths For a Living</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Readers,
As a speech therapist who suffers from acute germ neurosis, I lather my hands in organic alcohol-based hand sanitizer every time I sense a nearby germ has escaped my students and entered my airspace, such as when I catch them exhaling.  If their hands enter the general vicinity of their faces, I extend [...]]]></description>

		<title>Habla much?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Readers,
It is an inevitable fact of life that as you split your time between family, friend groups, work, community activities, Star Trek conventions, and the like, you will generally lose touch with a few dear friends along the way.  This is especially likely if, like me, you tend toward attempting to maintain not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Readers,
I&#8217;m still getting acclimated to the universe of online dating.  
In this new universe, I&#8217;m allowed a few dates with anybody I choose until I decide to pursue one of the anybody&#8217;s to make him my somebody. 
I suppose it&#8217;s what dating was always meant to be, but it&#8217;s a far cry from [...]]]></description>

		<title>What a Week.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Readers,
My AT&#038;T phone, which teetered perilously on the precipice of complete system shutdown due to poor design since the day I bought it on January 1st, 2009 , was finally laid to rest on January 6th, 2010.  Defective since birth, its passing was officiated by me, the AT&#038;T employee I was fighting with [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m the Cooking Monster!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Readers,
So after 30 blissful years of Kitchen Avoidance,* I decided recently (or rather, my checking account decided) to eat in for a spell.  Turns out, eating in means cooking in.  And while I was intellectually content to live off of the 5 entrees and 3 side dishes at which I was already [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What I learned in 2009&#8230;..
In 2009, I learned to balance work and life.  
I learned that turning 30 is not the worst possible thing that can happen, as long as you have friends that are even older.  
I learned that it&#8217;s harder to maintain friendships with my oldest and dearest friends as our [...]]]></description>
