Bizz-ay!

Hey follwers!  I am very sorry to have left unexpectedly, again.  I have been working on a small independent feature called "Crooked Arrows" in Topsfield MA.  I would like to report that we eat at an all natural place called "Cathy's Country Kitchen" in Rowley, MA.  I want to get a l ittle interview set up with them at some point.  It's all ladies who work there, and the chef is mexican so there is a country/ mexican flair that all the locals love. They have been incorporated since 1996, but re-opened on  Memorial Day in a larger place and have been slammed ever since!   They don't have a website that I can find, but they do email you a menu everyday!

Look them up if you live on the North Shore.  (I have a Monte Cristo for Breakfast right now!  Noms)

I will do a full blog on the place when I can snap some great photos!

Blogging from my phone may keep me updating more often?

The Return to All Natural and Organic - Essential Cane

Hi Followers.

I have neglected the feel good All Natural/Organic healthier way of life for a while. See I got this job where it is really hard to not stress - eat and not much offered in the store is good for me. That statement could be all encompassing, and I'm not the black sheep of my co-workers in this thought train either. I mean the poor ventilation in the building is reason enough alone to feel sick, and to have a daily headache from the inability to take fresh water breaks dries up your heart. Not to mention the fluorescent lights, the occasional mean comment from customers... oh boy I digress. I also have this mild allergy to nuts and basically if I want something semi good for me there, it contains nuts. (no pun intended, but highly amusing!) Happy health wise it's misery. The upside is I get to make pretty crafts all day, so until the "Biz" picks up for me again... here's where I am, most days, with an non intentional glue high.

I have decided to honor less of the paper tissues in the box crying it out, and to heathify my inner body tissues by flushing the toxic stuff I have let invade my body for the past year. I'm back on the organic/all natural hay ride of nutrition :) I never stopped buying Organic Sugar however, so there is the one constant. And without further verbose delay here is my new favorite thing:

It's an all natural cane sugar called "Essential Cane." Aye Ca rumba the Raspberry flavor parties on my tongue buds. It all started because I wanted to put a pure Madagascar vanilla bean in my organic sugar cane granules to make my coffee taste like "French Vanilla" in a real way. (OMG $25 for 8 oz!) And then I found this on the shelf at Market Basket (photo). For copyright issues I would like you to take a moment to check out their photo on their website since when I buy this sugar, it is gone before I think to take a picture.

They have plenty of flavors! Now, here is the drawback of this most delicious raspberry sugar. There is only one. The raspberry seeds floating at the top of your coffee. It TASTES amazing, and is well worth the skimming of the seeds off the surface. I found it works best if you skim before you splash in your half and half/creamer/milk/soy/Vario/Lactaid/eggnog/Organic Cow (now owned by Horizon). I'm not a seed snob, but it equates to crunching on coffee grounds in the bottom of your cup, only it happens at the top. FLOATERS!

Once you get past the seeds...

Oh sorry I zoned out in raspberry flavored coffee heaven.

Check out their whole deal here. Suggest to your local grocery to carry it, if you can still do that sort of thing these days. :) Until next time, love from me and Jasmoos Kitty. (who scarfs up Newman's Own wet catfood daily. NOM.)

P.S. I splash Horizon Vanilla small lunchbox size milks into my coffee when I make Starbucks Instant Coffee at work, just an FYI. So the good.
