Thanks to my friend Robert for bringing this recent New York Times article to my attention, it was sincerely one of the most entertaining 15-minute reads I’ve had in a while.

It seems to me that the point of both yoga and food get lost a lot. The practice of yoga is one that has so much potential to help those of afflicted with the human condition (otherwise known as extremism), to find some kind of gentle place in between; appreciating what’s here (like the home of this body which needs nutritious sustenance to live) without getting too carried away with the impermanence of what’s here (like this body eating any particular meal). And how lucky we are to have a meals to eat at all, whether they’re vegan, meaty, served on china or eaten with hands.

I’d be very interested in hearing your feedback and opinions. Comments please!

Mmmmm….

I just finished having dinner with my new friend Laurie Lane (owner of Fresh and Wild Raw Foods) who is a raw chocolateer here in Portland- she was telling me about the best raw chocolate from New York by Fine and Raw and the amazing behind-the-scenes video of their production. Mmmmmm…. Check out each bonbon going on it’s own little journey in the video here from Daily Candy. And when your done and your mouth is watering and your mmming and ahhing go to the F+R’s website to buy your own bonbons here. Mmmmmmmmmmm!!
