Stuff Green People Like - Goji Berry

How would you be feeling if you were a Goji Berry? The economy is in the shitter. There's all kinds of price competition in the superfruit arena with blueberries, cranberries and black currents. And then the Acai Berry comes along locking up the luxury superfruit market, touting all of its special properties, from detoxification to enhancing sexual performance.

Luckily the Goji Berry is a greenie favorite. The Goji Berry only grows in the high mountains of China and Tibet, but greenies allow for the deviation from their "local only" diets for this special treat. And who wouldn't be willing to sacrifice a little CO2 emission for the laundry list of health benefits, including life extension, spirit brightening and kidney health.

Some Goji options include Goji Juice, Goji Granola (another greenie favorite) and even carob or chocolate covered Goji Berries. But don't be fooled by the beautiful color or expense of this berry; it tastes like shit!

If you have any physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, digestional, etc, etc, etc problems, add Goji to your diet and you will be cured.*

Oprah loves Goji Berries. Don't you want to be more like Oprah?

Mollie's first post.

While standing in the not so "express" line this morning at whole foods, submitting to the muffin craving that had conquered Michaela somewhere between Novato and finding a parking spot at DU, we were inspired by something organic to start a blog.  Perhaps it was the mini maple glazed doughnuts.

I had considered starting a blog in the past, but blew it off because I knew no one would ever read it.  But tonight I am moving beyond that.  Now, my apologies if this post seems grammatically effed up or a little comma happy (especially sorry to John Stayton).  It is Friday night at 10pm and my editor is off at a bar, but being the budding entrepreneur that I am, I am staying home to finish a super fun financial model (or to procrastinate by starting a blog).

So here it goes:  The main theme of this blog is to talk about the things green people like - like tote bags and hummus.  Secondarily, we will talk about mountain biking (mostly crashes), kombucha (from brewing to pooping), and loads of personal stuff (so stay tuned - especially all you stalkers out there!).  Some other options include, but are not limited to, Michaela's recipes (stolen from Oprah), my strange relationship with my dog, Quickbooks tips from the Queen of Quickbooks (her book comes out in the fall) and non-linear Green MBA insights.  

This blog is wabi sabi - So tolerate the ambiguity.
