Natural Disasters and Soy Beans...
I have been thinking a lot lately about the natural disasters that have occurred since last December. What is going on with Earth? Is she pissed that God is only talking to Dubya?
Within the last ten months we’ve had a tsunami, a hurricane and most recently an earthquake. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t all that we are missing is a tornado, a meteorite striking and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius?
I’m just getting nervous that’s all.
Edamame...mmmmmm
As many of you know, a few months back, I was having a bit of trouble controlling the frequency with which I was eating guacamole and goat cheese. Not together…but I’d have one for lunch and one for dinner because I was craving it like it was crack.
I’m glad to say I’ve kicked those habits, although I do sometimes suffer a breakdown in the grocery store having to walk on by. But I’m glad to report I’ve found an equally addicting but more healthy food- edamame!
First of all, they are so fun to eat. Pop em out of their pods and into your mouth- good times! Second, they taste even better with salt! Fun to eat, and can be eaten with salt- it’s like I’ve died and gone to soy bean heaven! The bad news is that I’ve discovered a grocery store that sells bags of these little guys…and last night I ate a whole bag. And then ate more for lunch today. Stay tuned for my impending detox….

OMG Lia I literally busted out laughing with your comment of God only talking to Dubya!!! You forgot to mention all those fires in Cali, one of which came dangerously close to Jessica Simpson's house (gasp!) and also the terrible floodings in New Hampshire. It's a little scary...
In regards to your lighter note, my name is Maria and I too am addicted to edamame....(all: "Hi Maria...). I love them, thank goodness I think they are semi healthy and to date they have not produced any countereffect rushing me to the bathroom or anything...soy bean away!
Lia,
It's Nick out in Japan, just wanted to say, "good for you!" Edamame are indeed great. They're a very popular drink snack, as the saltiness goes well with beer. They're also for good luck, beans - mame in Japanese - are used in evil-spirit-cleansing and well-wishing ceremonies. The word mame also means 'health' so it has twice as good!
