[](http://www.purefoodandwine.com/rawfoodrealworld/?ref=chrismessina.me)So the resolution coming out of our [Raw Food](http://www.purefoodandwine.com/rawfoodrealworld/?ref=chrismessina.me) ([cookbook](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060793554/factoryjoe-20?ref=chrismessina.me)) [V-day dinner](http://www.horsepigcow.com/2006/02/happy-v-day-joe-xo.html?ref=chrismessina.me) is to go raw... and go on a 10-day "cleanse" (inspired by [our outing](http://www.horsepigcow.com/2006/01/pure-joy.html?ref=chrismessina.me) at [Pure Food](http://www.purefoodandwine.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) in New York). Been feeling way too much anger and animosity lately about things I can't control anyway... so why not? Also been reading [Lance Armstrong's book](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0425179613/factoryjoe-20?ref=chrismessina.me) and well, it's always good to push yourself beyond your usual limits. Y'know, perhaps serenity *can* come from pulverized cashews and extra virgin olive oil. 10 days to go. No coffee. No wheat. No cheese. And so on. Let's see how this goes. And yeah yeah, [*dang hippies*](http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/65355285/?ref=chrismessina.me) and all that.
