What really often happens to me is people asking about my nutrition habits. I admit they are a bit peculiar. I am a vegan wannabe. It means I am a vegan continuously falling for chocolate; brown, white, dark, milk, everything in between and anything that at least remotely resembles that godlike square bar. To be honest I am falling for all kind of sweets. Sweet tooth? Better say I have sweet teeth. Literally. As often as I can. I do not like to eat eggs and milk, but I do close an eye from time to time (which means when I don't want to explain things again and again). I told you, I am a vegan wannabe. Actually sometimes, thanks to my mom, however not often enough, I am a vegan also when I am eating sweets. My mom is now baking sweets without any eggs and/or dairy products. (Thank you, mom! I love you!) They are really good. Specially the cookies. They resemble Walkers Traditional Shortbreads, those Scottish cookies, which by the way I like very much (I know you love me Kev.), but my mama's cookies.... Men! I adore them. How do mothers know what we really like? Or it is just that we like what they put on the table because we recall the taste of the food from our childhood. Well, either way, everybody who tried my mama's biscuits, likes them.
There is one thing that beats also my mama's cookies. But only because of practical reasons: one can buy it everywhere. All kinds and shapes. However the best ones come from from Belgium. Did you know that? Aha, they do. A friend from Belgium told me that. He still did not prove it though, but I am sure someday he will. Right Marcel?
One brand I like most, even if it is supposingly one of the not so good ones, is the purple cow chocolate. Recently I found out it has several new flavors. But you can buy the new flavors only in one or two shops here in Ljubljana. They have like 5 new flavors. The good thing is one of the shop is very near where I live and on the way home from the office. I park my bike in the middle of the main pedestrian zone, jump in, buy a dose and I am out in 5 minutes. Sometimes I can be very focused.
But there are also days I am not. At all. And to go over these periods chocolate helps. In the last 10 days I did stop there almost every day, buying me a bar or three of the happy purple cow. Or let me put it differently: I thoroughly tested the new flavors.
Otherwise I try to eat healthy. No, no, really. Salads, muesli, different nuts, specially those covered with chocolate (I buy these only: http://bimed.si/catalog.php?c_id=36 ). Whenever I can I buy bio/eco/organic food. I believe in this stuff. OK, I also admit there is a lot of powdered and canned food in my cupboard. For sure not so healthy as fresh fare, but I have a good excuse here: my life style does not really sustain or help me in being a regular customer on the local market. Where, by the way, I love shopping.
But talking about canned food I remembered one thing that happened this year. Monster. Aha, Monster. In the last few months I think I got another food addiction. Monster energy drink. Since the first time I tried it I liked it. Now I can not do without it. I need it. Daily. Sometimes several times a day. It comes in three different flavors. And I do like them all. They are tasty! My favorite is the yellow one. 50% of it is juice. Juice is healthy right? Not to mention all added B vitamins and l-carnitine and ginseng. I told you I try to eat healthy food. Now you should believe me.
So, now, you are asking yourself: what the hack he is trying to say? There is no trying. I said it already. Here is a secret to a happy and prosperous life. Listen you your dearest. Pay attention to what are they talking about. Always. Take time to spot out the smallest detail. Read between the lines. Hear what they are saying. Nothing can stop you from there on. Fairy tales can come true.
