Saturday afternoon Jacob and Julie (visitng from Utah; I'm not the reason for the trip, but as a happy side effect of her vacation, Jacob and I get to entertain her Friday evening and Saturday day) and I went to a "made in Hawaii" fair. Woohoo! I love trade fairs, looking at a million different jewelry booths, being inspired by all these people who get hundreds of different products made and displayed to sell.
And then there's the food samples. fudge, dips, cookies, juice... it's perfect for my brain. A little look, a little taste, a little picking something up to touch it, over and over again in random order while poor Jacob drags along wondering how many craft artists does it take to screw in a light bulb or invent the wheel or whatever.
Jacob likes to go to these fairs because he can get Kauai noni products for much cheaper and he also likes to talk to the vitamin supplement people (something i find insipid and inscrutable). Well, we came home with a new kind of spirulina. One grown in hawaii. And two new books about said spriulina.
Spirulina is awsome. Not only is it about a million times better than any vitamin supplement, but it's like a million times better than real food! It gives you tons of protien, vitamins, is easily digestable, boosts your energy, and when I was reading about indigo children about a year ago, several of the authors thought that spirulina was very beneficial for things like ADD and hyperactivity, and cleptomania. Just kidding. I don't know whats good for cleptomania.
Anyway, I've decided to do an experiment. I haven't been eating spirulina up to now, because I was kind of turned off by the green color it makes everything and I thought it tasted kind of funny. Funny thing about my taste buds though, the less sugar, preservatives and salt I eat, the better everything tastes. Fruits, vegetables, grains, suddenly they have flavor, and not gross flavor but rich and layered and yummy. When I tried spirulina this morning, suddenly it didn't taste too bad.
So, I'm going to eat one teaspoon a day for a week, and see if there's any difference in me. In how I feel about life, in how I concentrate, in how much energy I have and in how much I like myself. I'll let you know at the end of the week. And by the way, it's actually really good mixed in with left over curry.

That fair sounds like a lot of fun! I've been trying to eat more healthy. (less sugar, preservatives etc..) and I, too, have been amazed at the difference food tastes! I love that simple things taste so much better! Do let us know how it makes you feel. I am interested to know.
Hey...have you ever thought of writing articles and such for magazines or newspapers?!?!! Your posts are always so entertaining and fun! I miss you terribly!!! (((HUGS)))
sounds like a great experiement. I need a little self control when it comes to food, then I wouldn't be so ornery when I wake up every morning
