Lighter Life
Richard told me about a new whole food style supermarket in South Beach so I went this morning to check it out. I bought a really nice looking cheese and berry salad for dinner. The thing with these 'health' markets is that 90% of the products are actually really pretty bad for you. They had the odd bunch of organic carrots, fresh fruit and some dodgy scented candles, however they also had rows and rows of cakes, cookies, chocolate covered nuts and other tempting calorific crap. In effect these places are really just junk food markets for the very rich.

Lunch
Richard and I went to Ice Box for lunch because I had already had a healthy fruit salad for breakfast.
So I thought I would ruin a fantastic start by having cake for lunch. My food has gone badly wrong since Richard got here, I am glad he is leaving on Wednesday so I can get it back together again before coming home on Saturday. Obviously Richard is responsible for what I am putting in my mouth, there is no other explanation.
I ordered Peanut Butter and Chocolate cake for lunch which was kind of a mistake. It was not so much a cake as a block of butter. It tasted good at first but it was too much after a while.
I even left some which I never ever do.
Richard had a holy mess in the name of steak and eggs. It took ages to arrive and was covered in home made chips. American cafes try to make their own crisps which is a mistake as the only good crisps come out of bags from factories. It's not something you can make at home because they are always too soggy and so fail miserably at the first hurdle.
So anyway we hated everything. We think icebox is only good for cakes (coconut). It's expensive, crowded, food took ages and we are not going back. So there.

The small print
There are a couple of things I need to bear in mind before I upsticks completley.
Guns and Bugs! I saw a roach in the bath today. Massive. I hoovered it up. I couldn't even take its picture first because I was too scared. Richard says I need to buy DOOM a bug spray. I thought he had some anti bug radar thing in the house. He said I do - you would have roaches on your face if I didn't.

Oh Lord Can You See By The Dawns Early Lght
The blue flag was flying today, I ran over to the life guard to see if they had spotted Great White Sharks and he said no Portugese Man O War. Eeew! I found this picture on Google I didn't actually spot one on the beach.
