From a previous post, you may have noticed that I LOVE OYSTERS- especially the oysters from the Gulf Coast..... I just love the taste... BUT perhaps there is some 'behind the scenes' encouragement? I certainly would not mind having them served THIS WAY:
All kidding aside, I was intrigued reading this list of other aphrodisiacs from a Reader's Digest post, surprisingly most of the food I like to eat (HMMMMmmmm again.....). How many of these foods do you enjoy?
- Oysters- confirmed.
- Chili Peppers - living in NM also, renown for the Hatch Red & Green Chili, of course!
- Avocados- also a staple for standard west coast cuisine.
- Chocolate- all my close friends know that I don't go a day without a bite of chocolate!
- Bananas- I am a regular monkey- even wrote a paper on bananas in college!
- Honey- well here I am not a big eater- hubby is though!
- Coffee- I drop the ball here also as I am a green tea drinker. The report indicates it is the caffeine in coffee that ups the heart rate.
- Watermelon- well depends on if there is room in the fridge.
- Pine Nuts- also a product of New Mexico, however I don't eat so strike 3?
- Arugula- nope.
- Olive Oil- no, not regularly.
- Figs- ah, the food of the Garden of Eden. I didn't know they had that section at my grocery.. Nope.
- Strawberries. Yep! Love!
- Artichokes- Nope.
- Chai Tea- YES! Has more calories the way I like it than my standard cup of green tea, so don't have it regularly.
- Pomegranate- have had, but not regularly. Too hard to eat!
- Cherries- when in season, always grab a sackful!
- Pumpkin seeds- these are fun to toast up from our Jack-O-Lanterns.
- Whipped Cream- hmmmm... are you suppose to eat it?
How did you do?
I counted that I regularly eat 10 of these 19 aphrodisiac foods!
YEP, the SPARKS are flying!
