The recipe calls for dates, pecans, and vanilla extract. That's it! This was my first experience with dates. They seriously look like cockroaches or something you find in kitty litter. BUT, they carry high nutritional values in potassium and iron. They also reported to supply energy to the body and control food cravings. I started reading an article about dates because I don't really know much about the fruit. I found some interesting, and comical health benefits to dates:
"6. Cures Intoxication: Dates are referred to as an outstanding treatment for alcoholic intoxication. Dates offer fast comfort when it comes to alcoholic intoxication."
"10. Strengthens Tooth Enamel: Dates may also help avoid tooth decay due to its fluorine content, an important chemical element which slackens the growth of tooth decay simply by shutting out plaque as well as making the tooth enamel powerful."
"12. Stops Night Blindness: The American Cancer Society declares that usage of one date on a daily basis assists in maintaining healthy eyes for one’s life time. One date each day can prevent eyes blindness."
"14. Sexual Weakness: A sexual weakness may be covered up along with dates, simply because the fruit increases sexual endurance. A secret potion for sexual endurance will be a hand of drenched dates combined with goat’s milk throughout the night, with a few cardamom powder as well as honey."LOL! I'm speechless.
I got a nice morning run in today with Sheena. I really do like these morning runs. I was a little worried when I looked at the weather this morning. It looked like it was going to be cold and rainy, but it turned out to be just perfect. I can't wait for Wednesday. I'm taking the day off of work, and hoping to just have a relaxing two days off before work gets crazy on Friday. I have a 4th of July party to go to, so I'm super excited about that! Cassidy's house is always a good time.
Now to only get through this stupid Tuesday...
