Red food




I am in serious need of some red food. I'm not sure how that fits in the chakra --- the base? I guess my foundations need shoring up.

There is a watermelon in a cooler at home and it is calling my name. The strawberries are pretty and sweet. "Stawbeh" is baby Gabe's second favorite fruit, after "Nana." And now that I think of it, I'll bet there's a tomato in the garden behind my office...
All of that sweet fruit (yes, tomatoes are fruit). Outdoor food... the kind you eat in a chair with your face leaning forward over your lap so you only get the juice on your face and arms and neck and not your cute white summer shorts. Just rub the dirt off the tomato and bite into it. Share the drippings with the ants... Pop the strawberries in your mouth and chew as the juice drips out. Are we filming the vampire movie yet? Sweet and wet and better than juicy juice.
Man I need some red food.

How fun -- you just gave me an idea for a red food day with my daughter. You know, like "stawbeh" topped pancakes with Red Zinger tea for breakfast. For lunch maybe fruit punch and Red Potato Salad...and then dinner, fried tilapia topped with sliced bell red peppers and avocado atop a bed of red leaf lettuce drizzled with rasberry vinigarette!

yes, more red food will help you feel grounded and balanced and will help control some of those cravings for grains and other less than ideal choices!
