delicious mauritius:
pineapple juice, coconut milk, banana, aloe
my favourite smoothie from element fresh... oh gawd how I miss tat.. plus a place that could make a decent sandwich
The New Year has brought in many perspectives:
pineapple juice - tropical, laid back but an oxy-moronic clash of flavours and textures...sweet, sour, acidic and cool, as if testing the limits of your taste buds
travelled further west of india for the first time in 3 years
5 countries in a month is quite a record for both work and play.
working out a fair bit, ran more in a month than i did the whole of last year.
coconut milk - reminds you of mum's cooking, a touch of comfort, homeliness and indulgence.
plenty of shopping, carefree spending, retail therapy.
massages, spas
drinks, cigars(and cigarettes) and clubs
at home watching Grey's Anatomy, cooking a simple meal in my apartment
banana - honesty and deliverance beneath that yellow skin. sappy, sticks to the tongue and doesn't go away
how speaking out against injustice does not equate to universal suffrage
how speaking out against injustice does not equate to universal suffrage
that dancing around half-truths and hiding behind untruths can be a manic affair
how that banana skin can slip you in a vital moment
And finally,
aloe - can't imagine that a thorny, unsightly plant can be such a medicinal delight and source of nutrients
seek the unlikeliest sources to heal our wounds
songs and pictures that make you feel warmer and better
My first month of 2008 is a Delicious Mauritius smoothie. I'm savouring the sweetness, acidity, creaminess, sappiness and its therapeutic juice all at once.
I am hungry for more.
