Claudia Yoga: Sweet Leaf and Eddie's new book

I vsited One Lucky Duck yesterday, the actual store on 17th not the virtual one, and got myself a raw chocolate pudding. My God!, how can it be so extremely delicious! I will be making it soon and fear not to be able to stop at one serving.

I saw that on the shelves they had sweetleaf packages, the sweetener that comes from stevia, the paraguayan plant which is amazingly sweet and has none of the issues that sugar has or the other "un-namable" substitutes. (I don't even say their name out loud suffice to say they come in blue, pink and yellow little packages).

I bought a box and will try it. Here is really REALLY hoping that I will like it.

On another note, I got curious about Eddie mentioning that he is publishing a book, so I searched amazon, and there is a release day for it. It was written by him and Guy Donahaye, and is called: Guruji, a Portrait of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Through The Eyes of His Students. Comes out July 10, 2010.

Also, it seems that I keep on stumbling into Krishnamacharya students now!, here is another one of his, publishing a book to be released on July 13, the author is Ganesh Mohan, the book: Krishnamacharya: His Life and Teachings. I checked Mohan's website and he has a collection of CDs, in which Krishnamacharya sings himself... he says that the big K agreed to have him record the chants because he (Mohan) felt too old to remember/learn them quickly.

That Guruji book is going to sell well! I'll want to read it I know for sure.

Sounds a bit like the Iyengar book, have to check if it's the same publishers. Curious about the interviews with his early Indian students, hope it's not just a token inclusion.
The Mohan book sounds interesting too will probably get that one.

publisher is Shambala, not sure which Iyengar book you refer too...

I am quite ready to read both, but not till the summer...

Sorry, I meant Iyengar; the yoga master edited by Kofi Busia. And it is published by Shambhala so no doubt will have the same format.

Hmm... interesting, I never heard of that book, will look it up.

I use SweetLeaf stevia. I just used this product in some lemonade and it was great! I also use it in baking! I love that it has 0 calories, 0 carbs, and a 0 GI!

I also like experimenting with their flavord liquids, too! I really like their vanilla creme stevia!

I like the SweetLeaf, but not too much! It is SUPER SWEET.

Hi Anon, I did not know they had a vanilla flavor, might be worth trying, when I am over my current disappointment with it... perhaps I need to give it a second chance...

Brooks Hall, yes quite right there, it is indeed super sweet!
