Saf and My Blog

A case of the tail between the legs tonight. Just got sacked from Saf, and I feel a bit miserable! Apparently my blog is better referenced than I thought, and the few throwaway comments that I wrote about Saf, were found out by the management, typing "Saf Restaurant, London" into a search engine and I found a message on my blog this mornning from a guy called Joe saying

lets put it nice AND EASY. HMMM.. HOW I CAN PUT THIS.....
your fired

(Though no one actually took responsibility for the message, the manager said it was a friend of his who typed it in from the office computer whilst playing around last night...hmmm!)

It transpired that along with the comment and the fact that I didn't want to eat the 'cooked' vegan food in food tasting (what did they expect - they knew I was 100% raw!), my manager didn't think I was "100% behind Saf", and he didn't want to keep me for that reason. Fair enough...I think I would have fired me had I found out about the commments, namely the management not taking raw food seriously and offering us coffee and sandwiches after a four hour talk on the virtues of eating raw. Its another case of my having to watch what I say, a lifelong problem for miss loudmouth here. I think another issue might have been not going out and getting trashed with everybody last night for 'team building'. Now why has team building in the restaurant industry always been about getting so inebriated that you are no longer even hearing the person next to you speak? Seriously contemplating getting out of London again, I wonder where I can connect with people in the mainstream of a working environment without resorting to the pub.


Anyway what I love, is how well referenced my blog is that typing in Saf brings you up on my page. Thats why I am saying Saf a lot tonight, because with its imminent opening ,there are going to be lots of people typing Saf into search engines, and hopefully directed towards my blog. All the better - if you want a real raw food experience read this ;). Now, I could go wild now and say what I want about Saf, but really I wish them the best, I hope Saf does really well and continues to spread raw food into the mainstream.

Raw Foodists, if you want gastronomy in London check out Inspiral Lounge if you haven't already , this is raw food to go mad about, get high on and feel love prepared with love by Joel!

Juice Feasting is going wonderfully, stripping the layers already. I feel strangely vulnerable, but I am loving that 'open heart' feeling again. Feeling emotions literally flow through me like gale-force winds. Loving, loving, loving green juice again, and expelling a lot of mucus from the chest. Planning a trip to Paris this week and I am worried about the big responsibility of juicing whilst travelling. Long thing...But hey. Best moment of the day, sitting on the tube sipping heavenly green juice and listening to Aretha Franklin sing "Dr Feelgood" - oh yeah!


Today I had

1l Water, Lemon and MSM
3l GVJ - Celery, Spinach, Parsley, Cucumber, Lettuce and Carrot - feels soooo good!
1l Carrot, Apple and Ginger - Tasted like sherbet!
Enema and Skin Brush

i'm so behind the times it's shameful, but i came to check out your original saf post to reference against the review i'm writing (went this saturday) - so it's a good job i didn't ask for you to be our waitress ;) well, you know, if you'd been fired from cafe gratitude then i'd be miserable for you. but there's evidently something waiting for you round the corner.
see you at inspiral one of these tuesdays...
