Raw Food Watch: Lasagna…hmmmm!

This weekend I am going to attempt to make a raw food lasagna for Saturday dinner. I am going to try my hardest not to “F” it up too badly. Going Raw has taught me many lessons, one being humility, but I have to have confidence in my humility in order to succeed. So, wish me luck because below is what I am hoping this thing will look like; as for taste,  I want it to taste like my lasagna of old., without the heat.

Here we go…

Raw Lasagna

Looks yummy, doesn’t it?

The President Accepts Nobel Prize

r-OBAMA-huge

I am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the Nobel Committee. Let me be clear: I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations.

To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who’ve been honored by this prize — men and women who’ve inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.

But I also know that this prize reflects the kind of world that those men and women, and all Americans, want to build — a world that gives life to the promise of our founding documents. And I know that throughout history, the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it’s also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes. And that is why I will accept this award as a call to action — a call for all nations to confront the common challenges of the 21st century.

This is why I have great admiration for my President.

As always, be well
