Hi Rachel,
Glad to see your name again on my screen. Can't believe that much time has passed.
I just opened an older Macrobiotics Today issue and saw two listings for Austin - Casa de Luz community Center, 1701 Toomey, 512-476-2535 (and I remember seeing some uTubes with Casa de Luz - seems they have a great reputation) and The Natural Epicurean Academy of Culinary Arts, Dawn Pallavi, aha, same address :>), but different phone #, 512-476-2276, and an emai address
info@NaturalEpicurean.com and
Welcome to The Natural Epicurean - I'm sure the local mb people can help you much more than we could.
But having said that, there's been alot of discussion on moderndaymacrobiotics (a yahoo group) concerning non-credo, following your own intuitions, and not following rules blindly, and of course, about being wide. For you who have been so aware of mb, I'm guessing you are ready to fit your diet to your new tropical environment - perhaps taking it slowly, to see how your body likes what you're feeding yourself :>)
Hope you have another opportunity to post and let us know how it goes. wow, 110, that's hot!!!!!
