Addicted to Eating Cinnamon

Addicted to Eating Cinnamon
I walked up to the receptionist in the Hostal Arequipa here in Pucallpa, Peru. I offered Charlo a piece of cinnamon, and she said,
“you are eating wood.”

I looked at her, a stunned look on my face, took a moment to realign my brain and said,
“Si, correcto.”
“Yes, you are correct.”

In my mind, Cinnamon is this powder I put on the top of whip cream on my coffee. It is cinnamon cookies, what right does she have to clarify my misinterpret understanding of Cinnamon.

Cinnamon comes in small can.

I am not eating wood … am I?

I enjoy munching on these sticks of Cinnamon sold in most countries I visit in the Tropics.

This is a bag of Cinnamon wood, ok, I will admit it, and I am addicted to eating wood.

What do the people who put this in cans do, grind it up into powder and then we sprinkle wood on the top of the whip cream of my coffee.

Andy,

Yes, apparently you are eating Cinnamon tree bark.

But healthy!

Thanks Eric,

I have an ulcer which is 90 percent healed, I think this sometimes makes it hurt a little.

Andy, given your ulcer - I'm not supposed to find this post funny. Am I?

:)

Monica, this is a funny post, but is also a poignant post, it has nothing to do with my ulcer.

We live our lives in a box, I lived in the box called the USA, when I went outside this box, I realised I could not see when I was inside the box.

Eric said it was healthy, so I just commented that is may not be the best for the stomach.

Keep munchin Andy! Cinnamon has many health benefits. I think they discovered in the past several years that it lowers blood sugar naturally.

andy! dont feel along i cant stop eatting cinnamon i try all flavors and brands it does not matter .... everyday i have to have it , i know that its good for you but is it bad to go through a hold bottle withend a hold week...i try not to think about it but when that thought pops in mind ...my cinnamon attack is back and im off to the store...
