We have a really scary basement for you people. 

  I hope it has hungry animals in it! 


This sounds awesome or should I say rawsome!  That was so lame!     

I've got tons of raw books and Alissa Cohen's dvd too. If I come do you want me to bring any?   I was into raw foods before our car accident and loved it, it really heightens your senses and helps you lose weight if you need too!
Count me in if it's somewhere I can drive to without getting lost and if it's daytime hours!

Ha, scary basement. What is it full
of Brussel sprouts?

Brocolli, big moving ones, with legs, and arms.

Fear not, PatK, there is a raw food bacon:

Bacon, Why Not

1 large eggplant, thinly sliced lengthwise
3/4 c. oil
1 tsp. cayenne
2 Tbl. honey
4 Tbl. Ume Plum Vinegar

Marinate for 2 hours. Place on teflex sheets and dehydrate for 9 hours. Turn bacon over and dehydrate another 9 hours.

But here is a slightly different version as posted by SchoolofRAWK and the one I just made yesterday...SOOO good! I had started adding a little liquid smoke before and using the above recipe, but this time I did pretty much the one below with a few minor modifications as I noted:

Bacon
1 large eggplant peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise. (wide veggie-peelers work)
Marinate in a mixture of:
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 Tablespoons maple syrup (rawkinlocs note: you can sub with agave if you want)
3 Tablespoons Ume Plum vinegar (rawkinlocs note: I was out of this, so I used nama shoyu instead)
2 Tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon liquid smoke (rawkinlocs note: I didn't use this amount...only one small capful and it was quite enough...I've learned in the past that too much of this makes it bitter once dehydrated...at least in MY experience)
Marinade for 2 or more hours. . . I like 6 or so. Spread them out on the teflex and dehydrate for 8 hours and then turn the "bacon" and dry another 8 hours.

Um, maybe I won't be able to make it that day, that sounds really gross.     After reading those ingredients, I'm a vegetarian and even I want some real damn bacon!

We weren't exactly trying to twist anyone's arms on this.  Several people had asked about it, so we decided to have this party.  Will probably become a regular thing

I don't know I got this feeling you really, really, wanted me there, my arms been twisted since I read this! 

It sounds like a great idea except for that "bacon" recipe.     Where will you be having it?  If you want me to come that is.

Hey Kat,

Do I need someone to invite me to the Burning Porcupine thing?   If so, can you?

[Kat Kanning]

You're invited.  And your who family too.
