You love ice cream.
Brio loves you back, is what the little cartons say. The company sent me
samples of Café Latte, Madagascar Vanilla, Very Strawberry, Dark Chocolate,
Tropical Mango and Vanilla Caramel. I know, lucky me. My husband likes the
mango as his favorite and I can’t pick.
Some
of these little cartons come in at 135 calories each, so there’s not a lot of
guilt. Brio suggests they could serve as a mid-morning snack, nourish,a nourishing after
school treat, a nutrient-rich smoothie boost, or even an electrolyte-rich post
workout replenishment.
“Yes,
we're suggesting you eat ice cream after the gym!” their press materials read.
I really like the trend of tiny
individual servings. Port Arthur News has featured health columns on “mindful
eating.” Appreciating each bite is what they’re talking about, and I mindfully
enjoyed my Brio loving me back.
Who
loves salt?
If
you came into some Irish sea salt, you first instinct may not be, “Let’s
whiskey smoke this stuff.” But if you’re the “purveyors of premium sea salt at
San Francisco Salt Co., then that’s your business.
Thankfully,
they’ve chosen to make it our business by releasing selections such as Sherpa
Pink Himalayan, Lemon Rosemary, Fennel Saffron and Smoked Cherrywood in
quantities from 5 ounces to 25-pound bags.
The
company invited me to try Whiskey Smoked Irish Sea Salt and I have enjoyed
pinches on eggs, tomatoes and grilled sweet potatoes. Www.sfsalt.com explains their passion for
salt. If you’ve never considered that such a basic essential could transform a
dish, go beyond. Many of us are not used to the notion that salt should cost
more than a few cents for a big cardboard box full. Indulge a little and become
as transformed as your meals.
Human
Nature
In
a wine taste test, would you pick your favorite based on how expensive the
bottle looked? D. Scott Trettenero notes a test where the same wine was
dispensed from various vessels with different perceptions. Guess what happened.
We’ve all got our own view, and we sure know the other guy has his. “Master the
Mystery of Human Nature” is the book that goes into “Resolving the Conflict of
Opposing Values.” It’s about getting along better with spouses, children and
everyone else in the greater world.
