Recently my comrades, Batsauce & Lady Daisey have been staying with me here in the A. Aside from doing shows and finishing up our respective albums (all music produced by Batsauce of course!), we enjoyed a 4 day raw diet. We had mad juice and raw nuts as well, but here are some of the culinary highlights:

Collard Green - Veggie Wrap, Field Green Salad, Raw Sesame Cabbage Salad

Nothing like that home cooked soup.

Soup tastes even better the next day. Add a Presidente - word to Dexter.

My girl and I hooked up the flyest soup while we were snowed in. It’s real easy: Saute’ mirepoix (Carrot, Onion & Celery) in your soup pot w/ garlic, shallot & habañero pepper. Add a veggie bouillon Cube, diced Yukon Gold potatoes and 6 or so cups of water. Simmer over slow heat for 10-15 minutes. Add Shitake & White Mushrooms, Cannellini Beans, Collards & Kale. Simmer for 10-15 minutes more. Serve in a big ole bowl and finish w/ Lemon Juice, Sea Salt, Parsley & Raw Collards, sliced into ribbons and tossed in extra virgin olive oil.  Eat it with a baguette!

…And not the kind that built Miami. I’m talkin frozen water from the sky baby! And guess what – there was enough of it here n ATL to basically shut down the city and trap me in the crib for a few days. So I ate this…
