As I left my friend's house after dinner, I noticed my tank was very near empty. As I filled it, I decided I needed to go for a drive. Something I rarely do, as I don't like to drive all that much. It has gotten to the blazing heat of summer. You walk out the door, take two steps, and beads of sweat begin to drip.
It was night, no more sun blaring down. So I rolled down the windows and turned on to Riverside Drive. A road called Riverside because it goes alongside a river, how clever. Regardless or not of how clever it is, it softly curves along with the path of the river. That latter is what called to me. I turned the radio off and listened to wind. I love the feel of the wind. I am alone with my thoughts. A massive reorganization is occuring. I can even feel my roots shifting.
I'm getting more attention from men lately. Real cute ones, too. Very distracting. It seems these days I just need to turn tail and run, because that's what I end up doing. Also tossing a banana peel behind me as I go to make sure there is at least one obstacle between us.
I'm switching to using Coconut oil when I cook. You should to.
One thing I read about it tonight was the fact that it is a medium chain fatty acid, unlike transfat which is a long chain fatty acid. How the short and medium chains are absorbed is from the intestines directly to the liver. Long chains (transfat) have to first go through the lymph and circulatory systems to finally wind up in the liver. Which means your body has to go through more of a process to digest, so it is difficult to digest, on top of that: long chain fatty acids' melting point is above body temp. So that means it can't be completely absorbed by the body, and forms calcium salt i.e. toxins.
Coconut oil also has a lovely light flavor. There is a host of more great things it does, boosts metabolism, is antiviral... all sorts of fun things. Check it out, and get back to me. Am I right or am I all right?
I sure hope I am.
