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 :)

I am super-excited to let you know that if you didn't see already, our dear friend and fantastic philosopher, Brian Johnson, is having a huge clearout sale of physical products over at PhilosophersNotes.com :)
I have mentioned Mr. Johnson and his wonderful work many times before, not least because this month we are giving away THREE copies of his new book as giveaway prizes... (see HERE for details ;)

Brian decided to clear out the mini-stash of physical products he had created in the last year or so for PhilosophersNotes.com - this includes workbooks with ALL of the summary notes he has completed so far on 100+ amazing self-development books, plus CDs of the notes read out loud, plus my personal favourite, super-cool tiny little MP3 players pre-loaded with ALL of the spoken note summaries - at the amazing price of just $20 right now - WOW :)
I have one of these little MP3 players and I listen to it EVERY day at the moment - I love all the condensed wisdom shared in these notes - amazing stuff...I think these would make *fabulous* Holiday gifts and indeed, apparently people are literally buying them up right now by the dozens, to give out as gifts in the coming weeks - LOVE that, imagine all the knowledge and wisdom being shared :O
There are a limited number of all these items on offer and I think some of the products have sold out already, so I'd recommend hopping on over quicksmart to http://philosophersnotes.com/sale if you think there's anything you might want to get...a fantastic investment in the lives of yourselves and those around you, in my opinion... ;)

All love,

Are you Simply Raw...? ;)

Did you see Morgan Spurlock of "SuperSize Me" talking about raw food and healing yet? Interesting stuff - you can check out all the buzzzzzz, with over 780 comments already at SimplyRawVideos.com. I met Morgan back in 2004 or so, when SuperSize Me first came out and he and his wife came to Iceland to premier the film. I was SO excited to see the film and also kinda nervous to go and meet Mr. Spurlock ;)
My friend introduced me to Morgan and his wife Alex, explaining how I'd released over 160lbs by switching to raw food - it seemed at the time that they maybe weren't really sure what that meant...so it's fun for me now to see Morgan sharing his thoughts on the power of raw food for helping people to reverse debilitating health conditions ;) Today is the LAST day to catch the video with Morgan, before the next free video in this series goes up tomorrow (Thursday Nov 4th), featuring Dr. Joel Fuhrman...followed by interviews with David Wolfe and Mike Adams next week - FUN :)
