Re-cap My first dinner at 105 degrees

by Lori and Michelle on October 2, 2009

Good morning everyone,

I hope everyone is having a great morning. I am feeling well – despite being up for almost 24 hours yesterday!!!

After lunch at 105 degrees Michelle took me back to the hotel to get  my things unpacked.  And than it was time for some yoga to help stretch me out from being in a plane all morning.

Here are the twins ready for some yoga: (Loving the full length mirrors – I need one in my house)

Michelle took me to a wonderful yoga class yesterday evening. I sure worked up a great sweat : ) It felt so great to move, stretch, and relax my mind from traveling. I felt amazing after the class, thanks Laura, it was a pleasure meeting you and the rest the yogini’s !! Laura, you are an amazing yoga instructor!! I highly recommend any Oklahoma native to go by her studio and give it a go!

Then I was like okay wants for dinner?? haha 105 degrees silly…the only place in town I can eat at : )

We get cleaned up pretty good, uh?

Upon arriving to the restaurant it was still busy when we arrived around 8pm, which is awesome. It makes me so happy and all warm and fuzzy on the inside to see people giving Raw Foods a chance! I really studied the menu, everything sounded yummy, so hard to decide on what to eat?  Plus Michelle gave me her feedback on things she has tried and liked. But I ended up venturing out and I tried something new, raw beet ravioli. I never had raw beet ravioli (I have been wanting to make some for myself for awhile now) so I was stoked!

Dinner was served, but first we got ourselves a nice glass bottle of wine

Michelle ordered her favorite Spicy noodles with a side of creamy spinach

We split the meals, both were delicious. I found the spicy noodles to be a bit spicy for my taste buds (though I kept going back for more) Michelle devoured it. So it is perfect for people who like a little heat : ) The ravioli was delightful. We both love beets : ) The cheese filling was perfect, just the right amount that is was not too overwhelming. It is so nice not to feel all sluggish after eating “ravioli” :)

The whole atmosphere of the restaurant is alluring. I must say it has such a lovely setting and decor. I love how they made being eco-friendly sexy! (Don’t you just love their bamboo tables…. I sure do. I have a couple of bamboo cutting boards back home and love them)

Ok now back to the food! We both loved the creamy spinach that we ordered another one plus more kale chips…the ones for lunch were so good I had to get more. They are so addicting : )

I guess we did not like our desserts ;)

I have to say these were all PHENOMENAL — I loved them all. If I had to pick one dessert that was over the top than it would be the pistachio nougatine. Michelle’s favorite was the tiramisu.

I also got to see and meet Matthew again as well as JD, Meredith, and Don! It was a pleasure meeting all of you :) Just as we were finishing up, Gina was also able to join us for a glass of wine!! I really enjoyed talking with her, she is an amazing person.

I slept well and was ready to hit the gym with the sis this morning. We both enjoyed our typical pre-workout bar before heading out. We did an up-hill walk for 60 minutes followed by a few leg exercises and push-ups. When we got back to the hotel Michelle made us a simple hemp protein shake with a few additions to it like maca, bee pollen and sun is shining. I must say I miss my Vitamix. I know Michelle does too!!!

Now time to get ready for the day. It is Michelle’s last day of class. And she is getting really nervous about her final dishes to plate up tonight for some very special guest!!! She is pacing behind me while I write this…. calm down sis!

Well till next time,

The Raw Twins

You will have to share the overall experience at 105 Degrees with everyone (me, me!) wanted to attend now! Did you learn a lot of the nutrition part (science behind it all), and not just how to prepare and plate? How do the meals work there? Do you pay for all that you eat outside of the classes? Lots of info please!! :)
