This is my all time favorite musical group. They were called Ari and the Alibis, but they are now going by Ariella, whether it’s the full band or just Ari and her husband guitarist Nicholas Kraster.

On the way to Mt. Dora…
Road trip! A short one, but full of promise. Mt. Dora is one of Florida’s hidden gems so we’re off for a ride in the country.

Breakfast on the run
No time for breakfast this morning, just the usual combo of blueberries, strawberries and bananas with soy protein powder and coconut cream. Protein and fat, check. Antioxidants, check. Can you guess the hidden ingredient?

A lazy Sunday afternoon in Paris
We just discovered a fun streaming channel with live hosts. The ones we’ve seen so far have been walking tours of interesting parts of Paris, a walk down the Seine toward the Eiffel tower and a walk around the Isle de Louis in the Seine. It was evening in Paris and a light snow wasContinue reading “A lazy Sunday afternoon in Paris”

We’re working up to breakfast this morning. We’re getting our protein and fat from coconut cream and soy protein powder, our antioxidants from fresh strawberries and some other superfoods: cacao powder and beet powder. A few slices of frozen banana finish out this delicious, nutritious smoothie.
