Now That’s Some Goop

Even though I totally can’t get into that PBS show, Spain On the Road Again, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Mario Batali, does not mean I still can’t get enough of Ms. Martin.  Actually, back when I lived in Houston with Mariah Carey, we had a little pet at our job.  I think it was a hamster, maybe a gerbil.  I forget.  Anyway, we named our little creature Gwynnie after the actress.

So the point is that I now get her weird newsletter, GOOP.  It doesn’t drop very often and sometimes I’m pretty weirded out by them (she gets into religious/spiritual crap) but I am interested in her cooking emails.  And this one, well, I just had to share.

As an ES reader, I can assume you ate your ass off this holiday season.  And as an ES reader, I can also assume you will continue to eat your ass off all year long because you, just like us, love eating and cooking and read about eating and cooking.  That being said, there are some out there that feel the need to take a break from all of the celebratory gorging.

Please take a look at a sample day of Gywn’s detox ’09.  It, well, just take a look, and a laxative.  You can see the rest of her craziness, along with some recipes, here:
