The other day while shopping in my local Whole Foods, I got suckered into buying a chilled drink near the check out area. I grabbed a bottle that said "lemonade ginger" and didn't think too much about it until I chugged it in the car- and nearly choked. My eyes watered. My nose burned. It felt like I had accidently inhaled a pile of chili powder. It hurt, but oddly enough, I sort of liked the burn.
The unassuming bottle I had picked up was by Prometheus Spring, which sells three types of capsaicin spiced drinks (capsaicin is extracted from chili peppers and is thought to boost endorphins). In addition to the Lemon Ginger which I tried, there is also Lychee Wasabi and Pomegranate Black Pepper. They're great on their own, but I bet they would be even better laced with vodka or gin.

'Eat, Pray, Love' is looking like it could be the chick flick of the summer. I read the book- and adored it- so I can't wait to see the movie. I was a bit surprised to see how many product tie ins the studio could squeeze out of the movie though. Nope, we're not talking about Julia Roberts approved gelato but everything from jewelry to furniture and window coverings. There is an official series of Eat, Pray, Love
