For those of you who didn't see the 2008 V'Day paper, please read it at rense.com archives or at http://www.alienview.net/ALLT1.html#yam, if for no other reason than to try the "Baked Stuffed Yam & Banana." 

I received emails from people all over the world who loved it... well, England & Canada anyway. Yams, their 1st cousin Sweet-potatoes, and Bananas are nutritionally nearly perfect foods apart from the fact that they are traditional Aphrodisiacs!

OK, for all you boys & girls crazy for voo-doo monkey-sex who otherwise can't wait to get things going on Cupid's Day -you know who you are-  here are some classic Aphrodisiac breakfast or brunch dishes to warm you up on the 14th!

The following Erotic foods & recipes are broken down by meals... so lets get fired up!

1.. Figs - Gee, what can I say, just look at the gol-durned thing! Eat them by themselves, or try this great aphrodisiac "Figs, Honey & whiskey" dish for brunch or dinner: 

Place 8 to 12 Firm Figs (halved) on a cookie sheet, cut side up.  In a sauce pan bring a shot of whisky together with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Tupelo Honey to a boil to cook off the alcohol. Let cool a little bit & then pour over Figs. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes or just until the figs get soft. The taste is as arousing as its appearance.

Trivia - Figs were Cleopatra's favorite food and she was a genius who by age 20 spoke 10 different languages!  Being the descendent of Alexander's #2 Companion, Ptolemy, she was a Greek, not an Egyptian, and after 300 years of Ptolemaic rule in Egypt she was the only one who ever bothered to learn the language of her subjects. 

2.. Soft-boiled Eggs (w.runny yolk) - Balances hormones & relieves stress due to high amounts of B-6, B-5 & more. It is generally accepted that Eggs, as close to raw as possible, will increase Libido. However, egg whites should always be cooked so as to convert a glycoprotein that will bind to biotin. 

Consequently it is prudent to always separate the yolk & white and soft cook the white & eat the yolk raw (I put them in a smoothie)...or mix back into the cooked whites. Poached or soft-boiled is a good compromise if separating an egg yolk from the white is beyond your capability...true w. most males. 

Raw egg yolks contain the same "Complex" Omega-3's found in Krill or Fish Oil but heat, air & light quickly destroy those sensitive Fatty-Acids. 

That is why all these processed foods like "Fake Butter-spreads", dairy products or WHATEVER, injected with Omega-3's, EPA or DHA, are a sham...the Omega-3 is mostly rancid.  Don't go there! Use real Butter.

FYI : Only use organic, free-range or cage-free eggs not touted with regard to how much Omega-3 they contain - although they might just say they are high in Om-3 (like maybe 100mg)...but STAY AWAY from eggs bragging about excessive amounts of Om-3, like 300 or 400mg... these hens are fed rancid Omega-3!

3.. Avocado, Asparagus, Tomato Medley - Chop ripe Avocado & Tomato (w. seeds removed). Steam Asparagus (tips only) until just a tad softer than al dente'.  Let cool. Mix together & drizzle on a homemade Vinaigrette mixture of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Balsamic vinegar (or red wine vinegar), Something Sweet (Stevia, Xylitol or Tupelo Honey), a splash of lemon juice (optional), and a little sea-salt.  To really get the pores to open up, sprinkle with cayenne pepper (again optional).

Value of Medley Ingredients:

(a). Avocados - The Aztec "Testicle-Tree"...is loaded w. healthful Fatty Acids, plus potassium, B-6 & folic acid so good for pregnant women!  Additionally it produces the histamine necessary for either sex to achieve orgasm. This is on my short list of nearly perfect foods.

(b). Asparagus - Historically, is likely the most revered of Aphrodisiac foods... again, identical to the avocado with regard to those things needed to achieve orgasm.

(c). Tomato - Maybe there's a reason they call it a "Love-Apple". Anyway, tomatoes are a good source of Lycopene for the ol' prostate & for all you old geezers out there... you are less likely to have prostate problems if you ejaculate every day. 

Small digression: Twenty years ago I tried to explain to a Proctologist how having sex daily gave your immune system a boost... he almost fell over laughing... of course, he was a boneheaded idiot. Think about it... you know I'm right because Mother-Nature or God rewards procreative behavior.  It's the law of the gene pool. 

(d). Cayenne Pepper - Ancient sex stimulant... not to mention it is one of the most health promoting foods you can put in your mouth! It is good for your gut, joints, heart & brain... I'm not kidding, it is a magical food.

(e). Honey - Another Ancient sex stimulant... I recommend Tupelo because of the almost inaudible last line in the movie "Ulee's Gold"...where bee-keeper, Peter Fonda quietly says "Tupelo won't crystallize & turn to sugar like other honeys"...hey! It was in a movie, it must be true.

4. Lastly, Strong Coffee - A sex stimulate just for special occasions. Please don't become a coffee addict (like me...of course now I only drink Herbal Coffee). Add further Libido-charging stuff to your coffee:

(a). Cinnamon ­ The Queen of Sheba captured King Solomon with this nearly perfect food... great for digestion, sugar metabolism & warms the body for a sense of well being.

(b). Cocoa (chocolate) - Natural UNsweetened Baking Cocoa... w. zero sugar & virtually no fat but when mixed in coffee (to provide a little fat) & Stevia or Tupelo to sweeten; it really makes a great Mocha-Coffee. 

Chocolate stimulates endorphins that make women feel sexy... ah, you know, that's the whole "Box of Choc.-Valentines Day" connection - and gram for gram pure Dark Chocolate is one of the more powerful antioxidants... maybe the most powerful. 

(c). If this is a Brunch, you might try Kahlu'a (Coffee Liquor)... and if you don't have the Baking Cocoa, they make a Mocha Kuhlu'a that you can put in your coffee for a chocolate fix. A small amount of alcohol will stimulate a person romantically... but a little bit more will do the opposite...especially you dudes. Please read "My Woody's Outside Covered with Snow" parts one and two (at the Rense.com site) for all the right ways to avoid E.D.

For dinner or whenever:

1.. Erotic Salad w. Avocado Vinaigrette dressing :

(a). Dressing - Grind or blend ripe Avocado into the Olive Oil Vinaigrette described above to make a "Green-Goddess" Dressing like you have never tasted... you will throw away your Paul Newman Crapola, all respect to Mr. Newman (I'm sure he didn't know his oil dressings were teaming with toxic Lipid-Peroxide), may he rest in peace.

(b). Aphrodisiac and/or Phallic shaped Veggies & Fruit for salad - 

(i) Asparagus lightly steamed (historically made the sex-list due to its phallus shape but in modern time it was discovered to, in fact, have sexually stimulating properties).

(ii) Tomato, chopped. 

(iii) Pineapple chunks (Enzyme Bromelain has been proven to enhance Libido).

(iv) Avocados, already some blended in dressing, so more may just be gratuitous... sometimes gratuitous is good.

(v) Tiny amount of jalapeño peppers.

(vi) Arugula (very ancient sex stimulant),

(vii) OPTIONAL - Thin sliced Onion or Green onions & Garlic (likely the oldest Aphrodisiac around) and any other veggie or fruit that you like.

2.. ButterNut Squash - Oh yeah... almost a little TOO Phallic. Try these 2 BNS dishes :

(1)...Roasted BNS "Fingers":

(a). If you have never peeled a BNS, please go to UTube & look at any number of videos on the procedure...& please use the best bionic potato-peeler you can find for the job & be very careful.

(b). Cut into long French-fries about 3/4 to 1 inch thick & grease with Olive Oil, Butter or Coconut Oil (Ccnut oil is my fav.).

(c). Sprinkle with any or all of the following - Sea-salt, Cinnamon, Cayenne, Stevia or Honey (if you like it really sweet) ...I like to do half w. just Oil & Sea-Salt and half w. everything.

(d). Roast on cookie sheet at 350 degrees until golden brown... sometimes it helps to re-brush them with the oil, etc. toward the end.

(2)...BNS & Split Pea soup - if you like, just make the BNS soup w/o the split pea added to it because lets face it, BNS soup is the richest tasting, most luxurious soup in the world <BUT> it has virtually no fiber or protein so it is somewhat nutritionally weak.   However, BNS does have LOTS of the beta carotene form of Vit.A, plus it has a surprisingly low glycemic value considering all the sweetness with no fiber to buffer that sweetness.

Still, if you make it half & half with homemade split pea soup you are adding a nutritional rich soup, high in fiber & protein. Trust me folks, the split pea taste is so synergistic with the BNS, that I like it better than plain BNS soup.

(a)..BNS Soup - Roast BNS till soft.   Sauté onion in olive oil - blend with Veggie stock or water, sea-salt, nutmeg & cinnamon.

(b)..Split Pea Soup - Sauté Onion in olive oil - add SP's, Water, Sea-salt, pepper & cook until soft.

(c)..Blend both soups together until smooth, heat & serve.

3.. Almond, Flaxseed, Macadamia Nut "Butter": 

Almonds - Samson courted Delilah with Almonds... the aroma is said to stimulate passion in a woman... not to mention it contains Laetrile which might help protect you from cancer. Almonds are another one of those nearly perfect foods... but NEVER eat Almonds that have been roasted in any kind of Oil, especially pHVO (partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil).

Macadamia Nut - When used with Almonds which are highly nutritious & very Anti-inflammatory... Macadamia Nuts which are nutritionally weak but EXTREMELY Anti-inflammatory - create a healthful Aphrodisiac marvel that is sweet and rich, yes, but won't hurt your heart or screw with your blood-sugar. I buy roasted Mac-nut pieces found in the Baking-Section of the grocery store.

Flaxseed - The richest source of plant-derived Omega-3 (ALA) that will decrease Inflammation, Platelet-stickiness, Blood pressure & Allergic reactions. Always grind seeds 1st in a Coffee-grinder before adding to the recipe Never buy PRE-ground Flaxseed...it has too much harmful Oxidation.

(a). Hi-Speed Process the following dry ingredients. Use a Food-Processor, or some Blenders have an add-on Ice-Crushing Bowl & Blade that will do the job... a regular blender won't work. Add 3/4 to 1 cup or so of Almonds, 1/4 to 1/2 cup Mac. Nuts & 2 or 3 Tbls of freshly ground Flaxseed. Process these ingredients with cinnamon, cayenne, sea-salt, Stevia or Xylitol to sweeten.

(b). Put in bowl & stir in Olive Oil or melted Coconut Oil (again Coconut oil is my fav.) - make as dry or moist as you like with the oil.  When you make it very moist it becomes very rich tasting. A great dessert with strong Kuhlu'a Coffee, of course you may be up all night... in all sorts of ways... OK, never mind.

That's it for this year... & guys: if you show your lady you are a versatile Renaissance-Man in the kitchen she will love you for it & besides, it is more healthful across the board than jewelry, am I right?
