I borrowed this photo (above) from Wikipedia so you can see the amazing fractal patterns of life--the Fibonacci Spirals! It shows the remarkable broccoli/cauliflower
hybrid, called a Romicia, or Romanesque. They were first grown in Italy, but obviously you can find them in Vilcabamba, Ecuador (for $1.00)!
Tomorrow it will become part of our lunch...I think the sacred geometry shall do us some good! Perhaps we will find ourselves blissfully ascending through a
broco-flower-of-life experience?
And he played me that Jack Johnson song about Banana Pancakes (for real!)...
The alarm went off at 7AM this morning and I wasn't going to budge. I barely noticed that my man was out the door early to fetch a pail of water (5 gallon refill of purified
water from Vilca Vida Water Bottling Plant, $1.00) and trek off to the farmer's market. The market is perched next to the bus station and is a good 15 minute hike from
our little cottage. When he arrived home around 9AM he immediately started making some scrambled eggs, fresh fruit juice, and homemade gluten-free banana
pancakes with a homemade blackberry sauce--YUM! I don't know what turns me on more, the fresh ripeness that surrounded me or a man cooking me some rockin'
breaky (with a Jack Johnson soundtrack!).

John's Gluten-Free Banana Pancake (Made with Banana Flour!)
I lovingly arrange produce for the sexy veggie photo shoot while my man slaves away at the steamy stove...Baby waits for her pancakes too.

In Closing...
I hope you have enjoyed the Vilcabamba Farmer's Market Porn Post. Yes, I realize how tame this is, but if simply one person can get turned on to hunger for more
fresh, organic produce... or if simply one person feels a burning desire to visit their local farmer's market, than our mission is complete. In that regards, I'm
certain our sexy exhibition has been successful.
Are you turned on? Or does fake dyed, waxy produce do it for you? Tell me what you think! I'd love to hear from you, darling...
