Raw Food
My office just got a whole lot awesomer: one of the ladies here is really into organic food and eats mostly raw foods. She is really fun to talk to and my new job is to find us a CSA somewhere in the area, since she'd never heard of them. And she's not a dredlocked hippy or anything - she looks just like a straightforward middle-class housewife. Who happens to know how to make whipped cream out of cashews. (Another lady is the wife of an onion farmer. I'm learning a lot about onions.)
Also, note to self: check out volunteer opportunities with the BLM and the Watershed Council. Maybe I could meet people while out pulling invasive weeds?
