My First Delicious Post (or) What the Hell is Raw Cheesecake?!



Raw vegan cherry cheesecake, herbal tea with soymilk and agave nectar, and a trashy novel: the makings of a fantastic evening!

Point #1: Earth Cafe makes, hands down, the best cheesecake of all time, ever. I'm not just talking best vegan cheesecake, or best raw cheesecake, or best raw vegan cheesecake, I am talking best cheesecake all around. They are based out of Lake Forest , CA and their website is here. I am indulging in the cherry variety this evening, but I think I prefer the blueberry.

Point #2: Celestial Seasonings has an herbal tea called Roastaroma, and it is marketed as an herbal coffee substitute (read: caffeine free and doesn't have horrible effects on your bowels). I think it is lovely; it is a smoky, sweet blend of chicory, cinnamon, barley, and carob. It rules the school. And it is even better sweetened with a teensy bit of agave.

Point #3: After the mindfuck that was House of Leaves (loved it, by the way), I needed to let my brain rest for a bit. So I decided to take Sarah's recommendation (she has since retracted it) to read V.C. Andrews Flowers in the Attic. I am hesitant to accept further recommendations. How this woman got to be so well known, I will never know, but it is painful. However, I've not stopped reading it, which is either a testament to my will power and dedication, or to my masochism.

Good night, folks! I am off to lull myself to sleep with tales of violence and incest...

I think I mentioned that I was ashamed it was on my shelf...and that it wasn't really good but it was her most well known. I think I just get fascinated by weird stories. AND IT IS. Stop now, saucy bimbo, stop now!

Vegan cheesecake sounds delightful and much needed since my sweet tooth hasn't been tended too lately.

By the way, are you aware I sometimes respond to you on my blog? I wish there was a way to let you know when I do. Poo.
