Hi Caroline,

This sounds great!!! Maybe the two of you can put your heads together

and see what kind of wonderful raw food meals you can come up with.

Should be a lot of fun. Would also give him a chance to be part of it by

allowing him to help create it.

As for grapefruit rinds, well any citrus has lots of pectin,

bioflavonoids and Vit. C. Use 'em all. I do. I have a huge jar that I

keep full of orange, mandarin, lemon, grapefruit, lime, tangerine, etc.

rind powders in, all mixed up. I take a heaping tablespoonful every

morning in a glass of distilled water with a heaping teaspoonful of

powder Vit. C to go with it. Sometimes I even add in spirulina. Makes a

good morning drink.
