Morning! Or afternoon, or evening! Wherever you are! Where are you by the way?

I’m just back from a Women’s Group meeting (my first!) here on camp as they were showing The Business of Being Born, a documentatry made by Ricki Lake (yep of talk show fame) on natural childbirth.

I actually watched it prior to giving birth as well, but it was a little more emotional this time as I could really relate.

One point that stood out from the talk today, was that we are losing the knowledge on how to give birth naturally and it is up to us women, to keep reminding other women (our daughters, friends etc) that our bodies really know what to do.

The Women’s Group here is great, they always have things going on, from playgroup for the kiddies, to geological talks, to cooking classes. I think I’ll be doing a raw food demonstration for them later in the year

So now I am sitting here having lunch

but inside with the AC. This is what the weather is here today

Crazy huh!?

So now for the giveaway!!!

In 2 weeks time I am hosting a Raw Food Potluck (the first I did was over a year ago!) and I want to make it a regular thing here on the compound, to get health minded people together to taste some yummy raw food, build a little community and possibly have interesting discussions or even watch some informative programs (ie Food Inc, Food Matters, Sharkwater, Simply Raw, Crazy Sexy Cancer etc).

The thing is, I know most people who are interested in learning more, are feeling a little apprehensive about coming as they feel they don’t know how to make anything ‘RAW’ or are not ‘good enough Raw Chefs’.

This is not the point of the exercise so I think we could give them some inspiration on what they could make as part of their contribution to the pot luck.

Here is where you come in.

For the next week, send me a photo of a raw dish you have made. It can be anything from a simple smoothie/salad or soup to something more creative like a gourmet raw dessert or entree/main meal.

From today until Sunday 15th May, I’ll post these on the blog, and link back to your blog and recipe – if you have one.

On Monday morning I will announce a winner here on the blog, drawn randomly from all entries.

AND HERE’S WHAT THE WINNER WILL TAKE

A Spirooli/Spiraliser

To make all your raw veggie pasta with like here

A Nutmilk/Sprouter Bag

To make your nutmilk like here

Set of 4 Glass Dharma Beautiful Bends Straws

Like I use ALL the time in my smoothies and juices.

All you have to do is forward me your photo to contact@girlonraw.com before midnight GMT Sunday 15th May. Also include any links to your blog/twitter if applicable. The winner will be drawn randomly and announced here on the blog on Monday 16th May.

So get your raw on!
