Cheese, Wine, Santa Barbara & GMO's
THE CHEESE STORE- 811 State Street Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara- free and easy, three sisters hanging out, drinking wine and eating some damn good cheese.. the kind of stuff that really makes you think about food, and how lucky we are to have access to beautiful yummy goodness.
We are eating- fromager d'affinois (Sweet, mild flavored- precludes the mushroomy earthiness normally found in its identical-looking cousin- Brie); Mimolette (bright orange cheese, a very nutty flavor) from Lille, France; 7 year aged raw goat farmstead Gouda from Holland; a port pepper salami and a crusty baguette. Can't forget the 06 Rothschild Bordeaux that we washed it down with!
We are fortunate to have such pleasure of the table. Hanging out with my sisters, breaking bread and sharing in stimulating conversation.. is what I crave! We are all in mad agreement that the goods we scored from the farmers market this morning are totally bitchen, and thank god have no pesticides or chemicals. The conversation shores up intense dialogue of what has become of our food nation- i.e. chemicals, pesticide, GMO etc.
We discuss how chemically treated food affects our bodies and how we notice so many of these effects on people we know and luv. Ingesting foods laden with chemicals and pesticides or GMO (genetically modified organisms), effects us negatively, and taxes are bodies- requiring far more energy to process these toxins then our magnificant engines have the energy for. Thus, our bodies store these toxins in our tissue leaving us vulnerable to many assorted diseases... a list to long for my comfort.
Regardless of your views, or how you eat, we are all effected by the adverse effects of pesticides and the many chemicals that our foods are laden with. The research is up to you!
OK.. so off to fun.. more wine please sisters!
