It was almost 8.30 p.m when we reached home last night. I was too tired to prepare dinner, so we  had frozen pasta meals. We don’t usually eat much of microwave frozen meals. However, we both like the Marie Callender’s Pasta Al Dente (frozen pasta) and Pot Pies.

The frozen meals are about $4 each and often go on sale for about $2 each. However, I picked up about ten of them when they were FREE after coupons during a ConAgra promotion few weeks ago! Would have gotten more if our freezer was not overflowing! We NEED another freezer! :-)

I love pearls, and pearls come from oysters. But, do you know that some people also believe that this gooey slippery and slimy mollusks can improve your sex life? The oysters have been deemed as having Vigra equivalent values for centuries.

The Greek mythology said Aphrodite the goddess of love sprang forth from the sea on the back of an oyster and gave birth to Eros, thus born the word “aphrodisiac”. The handsome lover is said used to start his meal eating 12 dozen of oysters! Like the Chinese who assumed that the sexual strength comes from eating foods resembling a sex organ, it might be just something based on the psychological aspect. :-)

Nonetheless, modern scientific analysis did find oysters contain high level of zinc, which is the main mineral that keep the testosterone at its peak performance. That may explain the belief that oysters are natural aphrodisiac libido increasing food has stood the test of time!!

Well, before you run off to swallow 12 dozens of raw oysters, you may want to be aware of the Vibrio Vulnificus disease that can be caused by contaminated Gulf oysters, which are harvested from the Gulf of Mexico. Apparently, when at-risk individuals consume raw oysters that are contaminated with this bacteria, it can cause serious illness and can even result in death. SO, if you like to eat oysters raw, check out http://beoysteraware.com, find out whether you belong to the at risk group of people.

I know a lot of friends who are crazy about food or should I say obsess with food? Every meal is an ultimate olfactory and gustatory experience to them. A two hour drive hunting for that ultimate restaurant is as common as a 10-minute journey across the town to get a quick bite at that legendary food vendor at the corner of the building by the bank. They can also talk enthusiastically with strangers about food. I would think food explorer succinctly describes them.
