T.V. shoot!!!!

I have been a bit busy the past week but I thought I would finally  write today about yesterdays T.V. shoot for Cable Vision's show called Neighborhood Watch. It was really fun and went very quick and without any problems. I was imagining something much more hectic and I felt that I was not really prepared because I wanted to have more of the food done by the time they got here, but it worked out great because they really wanted to tape me making the food anyway.
So they started by miking me and talking to me a bit about all the food I had made. Then they started filming and I basically explained what I was making and we talked a lot about the reasons for being on a raw food diet. I realized how much I miss teaching and how much I really believe in the reasons to be eating raw food. The words just flow out of me and I can't be stopped once I start! It is quite interesting because it is a side of me that I forget is even there....the teacher, chef, want to be nutritionist!!! haha
So as for the menu, here is what I made; Stuffed mushrooms, wilted kale salad with hemp seeds, sprouted wild rice salad, brazil nut loafs with mushroom gravy, mashed cauliflower and macadamia nut "potatoes" , pecan pie and a chocolate ganche tart. I had a bunch of friends come over to enjoy the meal and be taped having a staged dinner party. Everyone loved the food, not a single complaint! And all my friends are people with lots of raw food experience even though they are not raw foodists. The camera crew also really liked it and it was their first time ever eating raw food!
I wish I would have photographed the event and the food but I just got too busy and before I knew it it was all gone! I might have a slice of tart left to take a picture of, I will have to check and see. I will post some recipes for some of the dishes I made since a few people asked for them and maybe make them again to show pictures.
I have been doing pretty good but still have my slip here and there. I am losing weight though and I think by the end of this week should be in the 160's.
