BrokeAss Gourmet Brings Two Great Tastes Together
By Kuono • Apr 23rd, 2009 • Category: BlogIn honor of Earth Day, Good Vibrations and our favorite food blog BrokeAss Gourmet (BrokeAssGourmet.com) united to offer a really amazing Ecorotic gift basket, worth more than $500 to the winning submission of the sexiest 3-course locavore dinner you can for 2 people costing $35 or less.
BrokeAss Gourmet Picked a Winner!
GIveaway Winner Steffany Farros
It was tough, but after much drooling over all the gorgeous photos and delicious recipes sent to us, we have chosen a winner—Steffany Farros of San Francisco, CA! We love how she took advantage of her local farmers market and used lots of beautiful local dairy and vegetables, all while keeping it under $35 (she spent $34.37, to be exact).
Steffany’s winning recipe:
Asparagus with Lemon, Prosciutto and Parmesan
Rolled Lasagna with Bechamel Sauce
Dessert: Molten Chocolate Cake with Strawberry Filling
For the instructions and ingredients, and more terrific recipes from top contributors Adam Metz, Gabi Moskowitz and (talk about prolific) Violet Blue, get your broke ass over to BrokeAss Gourmet. Follow up on San Francisco Local Steffany Farros on her food blog DinnerLove.blogspot.com.

In the first place, most people have sex in ways that use the earth’s resources lightly, with a way smaller carbon footprint than taking a drive. Good Vibrations suggests that even when you use manufactured toys and products, there are ways to do it “greener” – that is, in a healthier and more sustainable way:
- Be a “localvore” in bed as well as at the dinner table, using products that were manufactured and acquired nearby rather than being shipped overseas.
- Choose natural materials.
- Get toys that last a long time and won’t go to the landfill anytime soon.
- Look for items with little, or recyclable, packaging
Go to goodvibes.com to check out the new ECOROTIC™ Collection of Eco-friendly Products. The Good Vibrations earth-friendly Ecorotic™ collection offers all-natural and organic products, as well as longer lasting items that have less environmental impact, such as toys made from superior materials and rechargeable vibes. And all Good Vibrations Ecorotic™ products are safe and phthalates-free.
Sex is part of our lives, so any issue that concerns us out of the bedroom has implications inside it: if we recycle, buy local produce, watch our carbon use, and think ecologically in other ways, it makes sense to do the same when we make sexual choices. Our well-being and that of the earth are connected, so consider where you can go Ecorotic™!
Good Vibrations was founded with a culture of good work ethics and socially-conscious business practices. From vendors with fair labor practices to lubes and toys made with natural or vegan ingredients, Good Vibrations hopes to pass to their customers, healthy products that are as good for the planet as they are for your sex life.
