Blueberries!

Leslie & I went to pick blueberries! 6/27/09



It was really hot, and I kept eating my pickings,




but yay, in the end it was totally worth it.



Mmm, picked a handful of blackberries, too.



Nothing like fresh blueberry pie!

Twitter

Hehe, so I decided to start using Twitter.com last week. Yesterday, I actually had something interesting to post to it - it was about my previous post, our Adventurous Foods day. Thought this was pretty cool: the folks who manage the Bizarre Foods show started tracking me on Twitter after posting that. hehe!

So hey, as a result of that, I discovered this, in case anyone else might be interested:

Finally!! I have looked for blueberry juice for years now!!

And now I'm glad to know that this off-beat craving was for good reason:

Did you know blueberries are considered brain food? Eating more blueberries has been shown to improve memory and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. It that is not a good enough reason, blueberries are packed with more antioxidants than almost any other fruit.

Enjoy Everything in the right amount of Moderation

There are a few certain things that, with time, I have developed quite a liking for. Now I can feel good about them, as well as enjoy the taste of them! ^_^

Sushi
(don't click this link, lots of ads; I will paste below)

Contrary to popular belief, sushi does not mean raw seafood; instead, it refers to the vinegared rice that can (but need not) be paired with raw seafood. So even vegetarians and those hell-bent on having their meals cooked can be satisfied by sushi. Some sushi contains only rice and veggies.
Sushi can be easily classified as a health food, being low in fat and calories while high protein. Nori (the seaweed, remember?) is extremely high in vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, Niacin, and C.

And even a little wine/alcohol once in a while.

In reality I think a lot of foods have valuable properties that we overlook. It's just that the scientests or whoever research something long enough and realize something about it they hadn't before. Remember eggs? "They're good for you!" "Oh no wait, they're bad for you!" "No nevermind, they ARE good for you!"

My motto is..... everything, in moderation.
