MELLOW FOODS



I want all of you to enjoy this “Ultra Mellow Lounge” … I aim to please; and … I did promise you (a few weeks ago), to come up with a list of foods you can snack on while enjoying your time here.
So … without further ado, we go in search of the most mellowest of foodstantalizing, yet soothing, comforting to the soul and to the palate.

I think we would all agree that this perfect food should be light, non acidic, and doesn’t sit heavily in the belly.

We’ve consulted the experts, and most are in consensus about our beloved fruit … the apple.

Whether baked or crunchily eaten, lightly sauteed with cinnamon and butter ... this yummy and mellow fruit is chock full of phytonutrients, helps fight chronic disease, improves memory and learning, and provides benefits that help prevent heart disease.

WOW! If that ain't an endorsement ....

Hey gang, what about the often overlooked sweet, juicy watermelon. Let's smack on that for awhile.

Yesterday, I came across a website called, Ethnicfoods.com. I want you all to try this next selection. The food choice ... a Thai favorite ... yellow curry.

Ethnicfoods.com describes yellow curry as being "aromatic and mellow" ...

"Yellow curry is richer and creamier than other Thai curries, since coconut cream is used in addition to coconut milk." (Yum, yum) "This is done to tone down the spiciness of this dish. It has many Indian spices such as fresh tumeric, black mustard seeds, ground cumin, fresh nutmeg. It is also flavored with thai flavors of fish sauce, palm sugar, kaffir lime leaves, coconut milk and lime juice. "

Can we put yellow curry on a healthy whole wheat cracker perhaps?

What do you think? Does yellow curry get a "hail Mary" for adding a mellow experience in this lounge?

Ok, I think we’re moving, yet again in the right direction when we examine the following delicacy for your palates to enjoy. I found this recipe at "EatingWell". ... sweet potato casserole. Now you might disagree that this is a delicacy ... but, who can fight with the sweet potato?

I welcome everyone’s opinion.
