Buffalo mozzarella and chicory

I once went to a local food bank that distributes food to the poor and needy.
Just just have to show that you get money from the state, because your jobless and then you can go there once a week to get food for fee or for 1€. It takes place in a church or something similar.

They distribute food that food stores sorted out. Some of the vegetables are not so fresh anymore or near expiration while other foods are very great and even expensive stuff.
 You can get vegetables there, fruits, bread, milk and other stuff. Always different stuff.

I once got some buffalo mozzarella there and it was very awesome quality, too!
Never ever ate buffalo mozzarella in my life before and the taste was at first a bit unusual, so intense and buffalo-like (what ever this is supposed to mean^^) but also sooo heavenly soft and mild creamy, refreshingly pure milky. I was surprised by the liquid core and sceptical about it. After some reading about it in the Internet, i needed a while to get used to it and at first i couldn't decide whether its incredible yummy or somehow a bit disgusting.

To the misfortune of my wallet, i decided that it is incredible yummy.

When i shop for food i cant help to take a look if they sell some buffalo mozzarella for a price that i can afford with a lot of teeth grinding.

Buffalo mozzarella is very delicate and can turn sour quickly. It the cooling chain is interrupted you might buy some buffalo mozzarella that is already sour, even though its still more than i week to expiration date.

The insider hint is to buy that buffalo mozzarella, that is at least 10 days or more before the expiration date. The more time before the expiration date the better!

 Buffalo mozzarella looses tastes everyday, so its the best so consume it soon enough.

Unfortunately buffalo mozzarella supports animal cruelty, since the male animals get killed in a very cruel way. Its really sad and i am aware of it.
If animal well being matters beyond everything to you, you should not buy buffalo mozzarella.

I, for myself buy buffalo mozzarella only very rarely and my appetite is unluckily greater than my concern about animals. I also eat meat, I'm egoistic and i confess that. I'm still very sorry for the animals and it hurts to think about it.

Ok, back to nicer subjects.

What i recently also very love is chicory. I really love the fine, exquisite, noble, bitter taste.
Its also very healthy and weightloss supportive. Chicory has only 17 kcal a 100gr.
The bitter taste in it comes from a substance named intybin and it helps to produce bile fluid, which is good and cleaning for the liver.

I originally started to eat lots of chicory salad to help my detoxing.
I take zeolite and it ends up in my guts, where it binds various toxins. These toxins could otherwise be reabsorbed in the enterohepatic circulation and like that i can happens that toxins accumulate in the body. :( Not good for you.
Not good for your health, your look, your weight and your mood.

Now, in this process its helpful to have more bile secretes to enhance the detoxing.
 
Sorry, if the graphic is a bit blurry.

If you want to help your liver more, put a warm hot water bottle on your liver area and relax about at least 45 minutes each day. Not too hot, please.
The warmth enhances the blood circulation in your liver so it gets supplied with more energy and nutrients. It will boost its function a little and is a very calming ritual too. Do it in the evening, it can make you tired.

That's why I'm going to buy lots of chicory today. I also love the taste. Here in germany, in costs 1,15€ per 500 gr if your lucky. That's ok. (maybe really cheap compared to other countries food prices)
 If you buy chicory, look out for some that is stored dark. (its always better to buy vegetables from the dark, that weren't exposed to the bright artificial lights of a food store.)
I like chicory best with honey mustard dressing.

By the way, buffalo mozzarella and chicory go well together.^^ The bitter taste of the chicory lets the buffalo mozzarella tastes lightly sweet.

On top of it all i decorate it with a bit of balsamic cream.


Buffalo mozzarella minis with avocado on top of chicory - a real indulgence!!!!

Hahahaha!
You know what?

Ive just been to the Aldi and what was sold price reduced?
Buffalo mozzarella!!! I got some for only 1,03€ a 100 gr! I thought somehow that god wanted to pet my shoulder with that! :-D
