How could we? They are so good right now. Keep eating them, please.
The prescription this week (give or take a week, I know, I know) is maintaining broccoli, greens, raspberries… and we add a new fruit: banana. I’m doing this simply for ease and potassium. Eat whatever veg/fruit you have on hand or in garden. How about a local farmer’s market. I haven’t been to one this year, yet, but my gardener (my lawn service provider who also agreed to build me a veggie box) has. He picked up vegetables for my garden, several tomatoes, peppers, beans, cucumber and a couple of herbs all for $11. Can’t beat that. I suggest you find someone who is willing to help you out in your garden. If you haven’t the time, energy or general inertia (perhaps you can’t be in the sun) for it, find someone who is inexpensive to do this for you. It’s most refreshing to cut some flowers, set them atop your table, then go pick some fresh herbs to bruise and put on top of a filet of salmon or to throw onto a chx fryer and bake while you sip your iced tea and enjoy the whiff your bouquet.
Try it, you’ll like it. I have enjoyed taking photos of each bloom as it comes. Blossom chasing is a pastime of mine and it’s been rewarding to chronicle my garden, AKA weed patch.
I’ll post some photos from my tours here, starting with one from my garden. Enjoy! And God bless your efforts at becoming healthier and more fit.
