Not locust bugs. Carob bean (click here), what John Baptist ate, with honey. Full of nergy.

Interesting article about carob (locust or locust tree). It really sounds like a wonder food.

A coincidental aside. I was hiking with our dog yesterday in the hillside and met a woman who was hiking with her beautiful Australian Shepherd. The dogs were having great fun frolicking on the trail so we chatted a bit. Her dog was named "Theo," short for "theobromine."

So I'm reading the Wikipedia entry for Carob a moment ago and run across this sentence: "Carob pods are naturally sweet, not bitter, and contain no theobromine or caffeine."

I'd never heard of the word or that compound until yesterday and it pops up twice in 30 hours.

It's a sign, I tell you!
