I like trying new food. Lately, I discovered and was privileged to taste fresh cut mangosteen. It's a little like lychee, all in all very good.
Probably my most amazing food experience was in 2007 in Colombia. While visiting a cacao plantation, I was given the opportunity to taste the white pulp inside the cacao pod (see photo). It's the white stuff surrounding the cacao beans. I can hardly describe how great it was: it tastes as sweet and good as mango. The texture is uncommon, I can't describe it well. It seems fibery and dry when you touch it yet it's like a juicy puree melting in your mouth! I just can't believe no one tries to make something out of it. Once the pod is open, the beans -still covered with the white pulp- are let dry in the sun. So the pulp melts. Maybe it contributes to the aroma of the cacao. The Colombian guys could not answer that tricky question...

Vegan jello?! How fantastic! I'm interested in starting a food business as well. I took specialty food business classes at Parsons this summer to prepare my product. How did you get started? Did you have a consultant?
I would love to plan a visit to the cacao plantation in Colombia. If you have an urge to go there again and would like a new friend to go with you just drop me a line: flamingorock13@yahoo.com: 727-771-1678
Hey.. nice idea.. pity about the 'food miles' ;-) For interest's sake though, do feel free to email me details and pics of the product and packaging: lucystegley@gmail.com

since I find no reason to believe in 'allergies' against 'natural' appropriate stuff, I would think it's more likely just the fact that pineapple if bought in store is pretty much always unripe. Not that it matters to the situation perhaps.
...but...
Nicolas have you ever had a pineapple that does not give symptoms. In my experience around these hoods where we are there are practically no ripe pineapples..or perhaps a few dunno
Yes ma'am. Resting as completely as possible with eyes closed; getting enough water; avoiding too much sun; avoiding toxic substances (personal care products, cleaning products, etc.)
I enjoy writing about the deepest darkest secrets of my heart, about things I dont want to share with anyone..or lack the guts to share. Love letters mostly, but not always. If I have a dream I want to remember Ill write it down.
Come on woman! No time like the present! We may now have one more spot for our March 20 to May 22 internship session; this is truly a life-changing program and an amazing bargain...
Thanks Priyam! You are very kind and generous with your appreciation, and I appreciate the specificity. I agree with you completely that fasting is generally very poorly understood, mostly feared, and almost always avoided.
Though someone once su...
Hey Michele! We fast 8-10 people per year for 6 weeks and most of them have amazing experiences. Incidentally, though some people imagine there's a need to "work up" to a long fast like this, many are fasting this long for the first time; in fact,...
