Goji Berries



I heard of Goji Berries from a super health aware friend. I tasted them at her place. When i had Viva Labs #1 Premium Himalayan Organic Goji Berries, I didnt need convincing of their health value. If you have them straight, these berries are a bit different from all the other berries we know. With the Goji Berry tea idea behind the packet, I tried it but found that I like the taste of them better as dried berries.
Interestingly I have a bag of goji berries and a bag of cacao nibs on my desk. and that happens to be the best combination according to 'Superfoods : the Food and the Medicine of the Future' by David Wolfe. Its their added antioxidant effect.

She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
