1. Udo’s Choice Wholesome Fast Food.
It’s a way for me to get my veggiephobe kids to eat kale and beets. It’s this grainy powder made from things like omega-rich seed cake, and powdered uber-healthy food items. We stick it into yogurt and smoothies. Best of all, it tastes like apple pie spice crumble (in a Moosewood kind of way). (www.florahealth.com)

Nathaniel: “I wish your ear was so humungous that I could snuggle in it.”
3. My FitFlops
In the warmer months, I am a flip-flop hound. They’re on my feet if I am. Bliss Salon founder Marcia Kilgore invented a flip-flop that is built to stimulate different leg muscles, (all the way up through the booty!). Best I can figure it, they have a low wedge heel that has a sort of sinking squishy element, so that you’re lifting out of it a tad bit every time you take a step. I thought it was maybe a crock until I went to a really fabulously challenging Nia class. Afterwards, I really felt what was going on in the shoes, since my muscles were so weary/sensitive. That all wouldn’t be worth diddly if they weren’t so tremendously comfortable. Something about that sinking smoosh factor is really yummy, like walking on sand when you’ve been doing it so much that it isn’t incredibly difficult. The price ($50) initially gave me pause, but it’s basically a really cheap gym membership for your feet.
Now if they would only come out with an eco/green/fair trade pair…in the meantime, they will be my *slightly* guilty pleasure. (www.thefitflop.com)
Nathaniel is entreating me to play “croquet” with him, which in this case, takes the form of playing with wooden cars and trucks in a mini town formation. Speaking of random!
PS: Nathaniel is all better, it seems like it was food-related.
