Fruit and Veg

On an episode of Wire in the Blood, the homicide detective's son has drawn a picture of Adam and Eve, which he offers to Tony the forensic psychologist because his detective mom "doesn't believe." The detective tells her son, "Tony doesn't believe either." Tony looks at the picture, hems and haws a bit, and decides that if he sticks it up on his refrigerator, it'll be a "good reminder to eat more fruit."

This weekend, I bought a lot of produce since I've decided to try to improve the healthiness of my eating through a goal that focuses on doing something healthy rather than avoiding something unhealthy. I'm sort of even looking forward to the challenge of eating all the fresh fruit and veg before it goes bad - I have fresh bananas, strawberries, baby carrots, zucchini, spinach, salad greens, and broccoli slaw (as well as many bags of frozen sweet peas and peaches).

In the spirit of unusual produce advertising, I offer this reminder that eating veggies makes you gorgeous:

As you can tell, carrot makes the eyes stronger.

We've been getting a CSA box delivered with local organic produce. It's been so great - not only for fresh, amazing fruits and veggies but for versatility. We cooked some kale tonight, which we never buy at the grocery store.

Jen, I think the CSA thing sounds great, but I've never done it - sans bunnies, it would be really hard to get through that much produce.

Kale, like spinach, was a veg we always had to share with the rabbits, since it's high in calcium and thus has to be fed to buns at restricted levels.

Rvman, her eyes are glowing with health...or evil designs on Leo's carrot.
