What's for raw-food breakfast during fall and winter?

Many people say that they could never eat raw food because they want to have warm food during winter. I agree and I guess that is why I am not doing raw food all the time. I don't want to miss that nice hot soup during winter, especially after a day out in the cold. And there are other dishes too that I do not want to miss.

So how about breakfast? I would say that most people probably eat cold breakfasts during winter most of the time and drink something hot like tea or coffee.

My raw-food breakfasts during winter consist of a lot of raw food porridge with fruit which works perfectly since it is a bit more filling than a bowl of fruit. And with this I have some hot green tea.

One of my favorite porridge options, which my oldest daughter also willingly eats, is buckwheat with a banana and a date topped with chia seeds and nuts.

The other day I added some raspberries which made the porridge go a bit red.

Add a bit of nut milk and you will last for a long time.

Japantown

On 30 September I finished my latest gig at Microsoft. It was time to start thinking about my much neglected business. However, first I took the opportunity to get away for the weekend to San Francisco with a friend.

San Francisco is just over 1.5 hrs away on the plane and one of my favorite cities on the east coast.

This time I properly explored Japantown. I actually had no idea that there was a proper Japanese shopping center with Japanese style restaurants, small shops with beautiful ceramics and paper goods, and a couple of places to have hot tea to rest those tired feet after a whole day on foot.

And I like paper and packaging so there was a lot for me to satisfy my needs:)
Here are some pictures taken in a Japanese cookie shop. You cannot deny the Japanese know a thing or two about packaging.

And it is worth repeating that for those of you who have not yet seen Between the folds, it is about time.
