I’m absolutely positive that a side of bacon can only improve your sex life…

I’ve also thought about getting the acai when I see it at WF. I know it has a wonderful flavor, but I didn’t know until seeing it there that it was a superfood. May have to get some.

You know I always love the pictures of the Buddha. I really should have a small one on my desk. It makes me happy.

Interesting! I wrote about acai too a little while back…it’s a SUPERfruit!

Hmmm.

Bacon affects one’s sex drive? I don’t need it, personally, but I think I’ll keep a few pounds in the fridge in case of company.

Claudia:

Are you familiar with this “Laylita’s Recipe’s”? I went looking for recipes for soft plantains (the bananas I bought at BJ’s a month and a half ago were, in fact, plantains) and came across the blog. It looks nice and has recipes with pork and black beans, so I’ll go back, soon.

I made some bolognese on my single burner hotplate. Nothing exotic, but it’s nice to know I can eat my own cooking again.

If anybody out there has a nice Electrolux, GE Cafe or better range that they’re trashing to make room for the Aga, let me know!

This stuff is not cheap! i’ll have to try it sometime when I’m feeling fancy. I’m getting married in August so maybe instead of Dom Perignon, we’ll have some really amazing acai smoothies!

Oh, yeah, believe what a vegetarian tells you about bacon.

I’ll add acai to my Whole Paycheck grocery list. It was being peddled at Bonnaroo this weekend, but we never got to it and it might’ve come in handy. Ahem.

The nitrites in bacon kill your sex drive, I’m almost certain.

I don’t know about the sex drive bit, but I’m with you on the acai berry. I’ve started buying the juice from my supermarket, and it’s most definitely my favourite drink of the moment…

Yes, i found some frozen pulp at whole food and made some smoothies too. It was delicious. Nature’s answer to viagra, haha. What’s not to like? I have yet to try it with bacooon.. Thanks for the suggestion.

I don’t know if you can get acai berries here in NZ but there’s Goji berry juice in the local lentil store for $60 A BOTTLE. So, not in my fridge Anything that expensive has got to be good for you though. By the way if you want something slightly different in your routine, lots of ripe bananas and berries blended up and frozen makes a really good sorbet/ice cream thing, sets rock hard so you have to let it soften first.

It’s such a struggle – “good for you” or “bacon”. Well, I can tell you, you are ahead of the curve. Acai juice is the next big thing. People think blueberries are good for them – they’re nothing next to acai. So drink up (and have a little bacon as a reward). You are so good.

I have only had acai berry in a drink once, and I found it delicious. It’s a bit chocolatey and good for you!

Never heard of it! (Because it’s probably not local, and I’m a little nutty that way.)

I can’t see how a little side of bacon would affect your sex drive adversely, although if it were all crispily draped over some part of George Clooney then I’d say up to a pound of bacon would be fine.

I like the idea of these super super foods, I just wish we had more exciting examples locally – broccoli and cabbage juice doesn’t quite get my heart racing in the same way…..

I’m pretty sure chemical compounds found in bacon actually multiply the effects of acai.

Very pretty urn!

Great pix Claudia!

I love anything with blueberries, so this drink must be for me.

Yeah, and I passed on to you the Arte y Pico award. I know you aren’t a meme kinda person, but here you go anyway. I like what it represents, so I think you deserve it.
