The way to a man's heart may well be through his stomach - but can we reach any other organ via that route?

What's a romantic evening without special, passion-inducing food and drink? Even a picnic takes on a romantic tone with the right kinds of foods. here are my top four foods to bring romance into any meal, be it breakfast in bed or a romantic candlelit dinner in front of a cozy fire.

  1. The Aztecs called avocado plants "testicle trees" because of te shape of the avocado as they hang on the tree. Use fresh avocados if you're cooking dinner together. When you're in a hurry to move from dinner to the next event, purchase packaged avocado that's ready to eat.
  2. Honey drizzled over pure vanilla ice cream or our favorite pound cake not only makes a delicious desert, it's a well-known aphrodisiac. Where do you think we get the word "honeymoon"?

  3. Strawberries dipped in chocolate fondue incorporate the sensual quality of smooth, dark creamy chocolate melded with sweet and crisp strawberries. Warming chocolate releases hormones and neurotransmitters that increase sexual desire.

  4. Figs were revered by both the Greeks and Romans, and have a long history as a symbol of love and fertility. Eat figs with your fingers to increase the sensual quality, or better yet, take turns feeding them to each other.

You must live somewhere warm this time of year to have a local farmer's market! We're lucky enough to have one indoor farmer's market during our cold, long Vermont winters; but we get more potatos and root vegetables than other types of fresh produce. Enjoy!

Tasty post, I'm going to pick up some of these delights at the farmer's market today. I've always read that honeymoon is in fact is a reference to the name of the full moon in June. "Societies since the dawn of time have given names to the full moons to keep themselves organized for the seasonal changes and to help teach the young to prepare in advance for what is to come." June is also a month to gather honey from the hive and so in Pagan times, June weddings would be celebrated by drinking a liquor made from Honey. Many weddings were followed by Honey Moons. Oysters, artichokes, asparagus, and truffles are notable aphrodisiacs as well.Thanks!
