It's a new year and perhaps a new start for grand ideas. I have several goals and ideas I would love to put into action, starting with a raw living foods lifestyle. With the help of Grant (also transitioning into raw eating), we have ate completely raw this past week. My main recipe resource has been Ani's Raw Food Kitchen and the website The Raw Warung, which she often uses recipes from Ani Phyo's non-cook books. I also picked up Raw Food for Everyone by Alissa Cohen from the lovely organic health food store in Langley called Nature's Fare.
We have tried sun-dried tomato burgers, walnut-almond tacos on red cabbage leaf with baja cheese, Ginger Almond Pate Nori rolls, and my favourite; pizza on a sesame sunflower bread with cashew cheeze! I plan to take some photos of our next food creation - if I'm not too busy eating it.
One of my goals for 2013 is to be more creatively active, which includes documenting my work to post on my blog. One of my most recent photography projects was to create a still-frame narrative using one image. The image below is accompanied by the poem Jimmy Jet and his TV Set by Shel Silverstein.

I'll tell you the story of Jimmy Jet -
And you know what I tell you is true.
He loved to watch his TV set
Almost as much as you.
He watched all day, he watched all night
Till he grew pale and lean,
From "The Early Show" to "The Late Late Show"
And all the shows between.
He watched till his eyes were frozen wide,
And his bottom grew into his chair.
And his chin turned into a tuning dial,
And antennae grew out of his hair.
And his brains turned into TV tubes,
And his face to a TV screen.
And two knobs saying "VERT." and "HORIZ."
Grew where his ears had been.
And he grew a plug that looked like a tail
So he plugged in little Jim.
And now instead of him watching TV
We all sit around and watch him.
