Matthew told me last week that Cafe Gratitude is "too hippy" for him, and I shrugged it off. 

But today I ate lunch there and I completely understood. I had the "I am Succulent," the "I am Honoring," and the "I am Deserving," a.k.a. apple-grapefruit-celery juice, cashew-cheese nachos with flax chips, and cashew-based mint chocolate chip ice cream with chocolate sauce.

It was all good but very hippy-dippy. The ice cream was definitely the best part, and I eventually plan to experiment with making my own raw desserts (likely when I get back to my very own New Orleans kitchen).
