time chooses b.k.s.

let's take a small breather from coffee today, shall we? this has been a deeply intensive coffee week, and with the scaa conference in atlanta -- there's still a little room to catch a cheap last minute plane fare and register on-site! -- coming up this weekend, there's gonna be a ton more coffee soon.

which is a good thing. because coffee is the most romantic, passionate beverage. . .

in an interesting happening today, time magazine has included world-renowned yoga teacher b.k.s. iyengar on its list of the 100 most influential people. (why do they stupidly make you subscribe for this feature story?)

there's no doubt that he was and remains crucial in creating the current yoga movement, which now has up to 20 million americans doing some form of yoga asana practice.

i also want to remark how much i'm enjoying gary kraftsow's second book on yoga as a spiritual practice. what's tremendous about it is that it's not the least bit new-age-y and is written in a straight-forward, simple, and surprisingly common-sense manner.

highly recommended.

and finally:

"everybody is interested in chocolate. it has a wide appeal and it's a fabulous food. who doesn't love chocolate?"

we here at bccy would never ever quarrel with an artisan chocolatier, pastry chef at the award-winning lolli redini country restaurant, down under. . . .those bon-bons made with glaceé figs and pistachios sound pretty good, actually!
