. . . because I just couldn’t wait!

Apparently, Rawstar IS open sometimes
Luckily, I’m dying for an excuse to go back
This restaurant is only a 10-minute walk from my apartment, which could be a dangerous thing. StatusQuoman, in town for a Labor Day weekend visit, and I split the following:

nori wraps with raw veggies, herbs, and cashew sauce. So incredibly flavorful!!! Why don't I make these at home!?

crunchy flaxseed crackers + creamy cashew cheese. yum. the cheese could've used some more spice, though

raw spinach pie, plantains, and kale/pear salad. The kale was my favorite!! I do not care for the texture of raw plantains, but the flavor was spot on.

raw macadamia nut cheesecake!! smooth, tart, INCREDIBLE flavor.
This was such a fun outing. The restaurant is TINY, with lime green walls, bamboo, open windows, and reggae music — the perfect place to laugh and catch up on a pleasant summer evening.
How was your Labor Day weekend?

Hmm, I dunno Vani…the offense is momentous.
You can make it up to me (us) by scheduling our official blogger date there. Hey, if anything, it’s a good thing you went first–you were the guinea pig! So thanks for taking one for the team. I will defer to your advice when we go together.

[...] this place is that for many of the entrees, you’re allowed to choose your own side and salad. Last time, I tried the kale/pear salad and plantains. I have to say that I liked these two much [...]

I just found your blog and really, really like it! I am just like you where I tend to gain weight in the summer and lose in the winter. Something about being in already bulky sweaters makes me not want to be bulky underneath, if you know what I am saying, lol!
