Trying. . .

Trying oh so daily to be healthy. It absolutely THRILLS me to go the the Sunflower Farmers Market. I just look and look at the gourmet cheeses and the many aisles of different grains in their little bins. I bought an eggplant for the first time in my life. (I know, sad when I've lived for 30 years) And a few staples I've liked to have around whenever possible -- mushrooms and grapefruit. Another couple of firsts this time were the beautiful English cucumber -- supposedly burpless and comes in that little wrapper that infers that it's somehow more, organic. (Has to be without all that waxy stuff on the normal cuc.) and of course -- Olive Oil -- I'd love to always cook with this like they do on TV -- but it kills me to even price it so I just end up subbing in Canola oil for most things. But I actually closed my eyes (as my mother advised) and just bought it today. And I feel good about it. The tofu is for the kids -- great super baby food -- even subs for cheese on pizza for my non-dairy eater, and the raw almonds are just pretty and healthy. (The cookie in front is just to keep it real. ;))
