she's not a medical doctor. she's a doctor of philosophy in nutrition. what does that mean anyway? this all came about because rachel was telling me about the gaudy, british reality tv show, i'm a celebrity get me out of here while we were drinking tea and catching up. the link is that one the contestants was this author, dr. gillian and i recognised the name because i saw this book in the stack of books that came with my cottage. rachel said dr. gillian was always fainting and screaming over the gross things she had to do on the show.
so rachel starts looking through the book and appropriately stops at chapter six. that's the looking good and feeling sexy chapter. and you know...we had just had to.
oh yeah.
here's the play-by-play...of what we can remember. "quoted stuff is dr. gillian", italicized stuff is us.
page one eighty-four, "i've complied a list of extra sexy foods..." because foods that are already sexy aren't just sexy enough, rachel and i say to each other.
rachel recites off the list and i listen, taking careful notes like a keener on the first day of school.

"and the sexiest food of all...according to german research is raw sauerkraut. i promise! watch your love-making (gah, hate that word) antics (what??) soar (????) once you start eating raw sauerkraut twice a day".
are you gonna make sure you eat all those foods? rachel asks.
you bet your ass!! i say.
"...when you eat for great sex, you'll be eating for great health too!" it's a win-win people.
rachel asks, don't you feel better knowing this information?
you have no idea, i say.
and this concludes, story time tales with rachel and hayley.
