Make Your Own Stone-Ground Nut and Seed Butters :)))

In case you didn't yet hear about the AMAZING new stone-grinding machines we now have for making your OWN nut and seed butters, it shall be my delight to share some juicy details with you today about these new contraptions...

As many of you have noticed and commented on, in my daily food logs of the last few weeks, I've been mentioning eating some of our amazing home-made, fresh, smoooooooth nut butters...these butters are off-the-hooooooooooooooook ;)
Mr. M is a nut/seed butter FANATIC and for years has been wondering how to best make his OWN butters, rather than paying $20+ per jar for other peoples' products - he'd tried everything, using a food processor, pestle and mortar, Green Star juicer, blenders...you name it...never with very impressive results...until NOW :)))
A dear friend of ours let us know about a special stone-grinding machine for crunching down and smoooooothing out nuts and seeds into the most incredible, smooooooth, delicious, pourable nut and seed butters that you would have surely ever experienced...
We've been playing with all kinds of nut/seed versions the last few weeks and every trial has resulted in some kind of rich liquid luciousness...these machines can also be used to produce your own *exquisitely* smooooth and professional raw chocolates or similar confections - I actually JUST made my first batch of raw "chocolate" (with carob powder rather than cacao) in one of these stone-grinding machines last night - it is *RIDICULOUSLY* good...I'll aim to demo this on a video some day soon... for now, if you click over HERE you can see a video that we already did showing how to use this epic new piece of machinery...
Imagine, instead of paying $20+ per jar for almond butter or tahini, from now on you can use a machine like this to make your OWN nut and seed butters, of the highest, smoothest, silkiest quality you've ever experienced, for just the cost of the nuts/seeds themselves, plus the initial investment for the machine of course. As one customer commented, "this machine will have paid for itself in about 16 jars of almond butter" - WOW ;O
This stone-grinder is set to become *the* new "must-have" appliance for raw foodies everywhere and we're so excited to be able to share this with you - it is SOOOOO much fun to experiment with all your own mixtures - enjoy the process :)

Check out a video on the stone-grinding machines and get your own machine to play with HERE :)

Annie Jubb joins Raw Union - YAY :)

OoOooooooo, I’m VERY excited to say that the lovely Annie Jubb is now going to be joining us at the Raw Union festie :) Annie also happens to be an ordained minister (like Dr. Wolfe – what a fabulously talented community this is ;)...and she will be offering a blessing at our wedding ceremony, bringing in some more divine feminine energy to the occasion – love it :) Annie also tells us that Spirit downloaded names for myself and Mr. M to her and she is going to pass those on to us at the wedding – I’m excited to hear those :)
...AaAaAaaaaaand, I’m thrilled to share that Ms. Jubb will also be helping to head up the Goddess Gathering circle the evening before the wedding, where all the women will be welcomed to join in circle for sacred singing and sharing something from their experience as a ‘gift’ to the marriage. The men will also be doing something similar to this, in a separate men's gathering. It is truly going to be a powerful experience and gives everyone the opportunity to be involved in the ceremony, acting as wise council. We are so EXCITED and delighted to have Annie's participation. YAY :)

Raw Living in Las Vegas... ;)

WELL...we survived Vegas ;) We actually had great fun, even if it is the scariest place I’ve ever been ;) Aside from exposing our beings a little to the lights, crowds, enormous buildings, colours, smells, astro–turf lawns and base chakra energies of ‘The Strip’ and beyond, we also enjoyed some choicer adventures... We had a lovely visit to the abode of Steve Pavlina and his wife Erin for an enlightening lunch (you can see a little video of our visit on TheRawFoodWorld.tv HERE).

1 quart water
little glass of orange juice

a sweeeeet little honeydew melon with a chunk of watermelon
1 quart water
30 chlorella ‘nuts’
a couple of durian pods, water of two young coconuts with a handful of rawnola cereal

We also went to see the fabulous aqua-spectacular show ‘Le Rêve’/’The Dream’ (similar to a Cirque de Soleil production) – WOW :O I always absolutely LOVE seeing shows like this as it is SO amazing to me to see what the human body is capable of doing, with some training ;) There were around 50 people in the show and they all seemed to be astonishingly fit and supple...totally awe–inspiring – the dancing, the acrobatics, the lifts, turns, drops and dives...I love it...you can see a little preview of the show HERE – absolutely jaw–dropping...

We also had WONDERFUL fun in Vegas staying at the home of Mr. Markus Rothkranz. WOW ;O Now, I have travelled all over the world and stayed in countless hundreds of houses...and I have NEVER seen a place like this ;)
Markus is truly an extraordinarily talented person. If you’re not familiar with his work, you might like to check out his ‘GoRawNow.com’ site to start with – I was impressed seeing his ‘Hollywood’–style raw videos a couple of years back – however NOTHING compared to actually being at his house and directly encountering his artistic creativity...his house is literally like an art gallery or museum, with stunning photo–realistic paintings lining the walls, 4–foot long model galleons with moving parts, scaled models of movie sets and a whole collection of DVDs – ALL made by Markus... One of his latest DVDs is an inspiring documentary showing how to make your own Solar Power system for your house (which is the power source for Markus’ own place) – we actually sell that DVD on our site HERE.
Markus worked as a special effects artist on many big films such as ‘Total Recall’ and ‘Die Hard’...he says he has been painting since before he could walk...plus he has just finished his first book (which spans 20 years of health research)...and he’s also just launched his own product line of cleansing/nutritional items...he is truly a creativity powerhouse...
We were extremely blessed to get to play in his costume department – you can see some of the results below ;) LOVE this ‘Renaissance Wench’ outfit – I want to dress like this all the time, please :) Thanks, Markus for such a fun visit :)







All love,
The Renaissance Wench and The Pirate. xxx
