Acai

The new super food that everyone raves about is actually a berry from the acai palm in the Amazon. This is the way it should be consumed. It has the consistency of melting sorbet and is eaten with a spoon. It is super high in antioxidants and it became popular in Rio de Janeiro in the early 90's with the surfing and jiu jitsu crowd. Now you can buy acai at Costco, but it is mixed with other juices. Not the same thing...at all. IF you want to find acai in its purest form, go to the store Brasil with S just off of Macleod Trail and 57th avenue in Calgary.

Couldn't Have Said It Better

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always persevers.
Love never fails.

Sacha Guitry

This is one of my favorite quotes by a French writer, Sacha Guitry:

LES FEMMES SE PLEIGNENT QUE LES HOMMES SONT TOUS PAREILLES, C'EST PARCE QU'ELLES SE COMPORTENT DE LA MEME FACON AVEC TOUT LES HOMMES

Translation:

WOMEN THAT COMPLAIN THAT ALL MEN ARE THE SAME IT IS BECAUSE THEY BEHAVE THE SAME WAY WITH ALL MEN.
