In order to properly combine my foods, Fit For Life tells me I need to spend the morning consuming fruit as my breakfast. If you've met me you'll realize I only learned to enjoy oranges about two years ago. This narrows my fruit-field considerably. Bob and I went to the market last night to hunt down some 100% fruit juice (no concentrate!) that we didn't have to pay a fortune for and took a slow walk around the produce section.
Did you know there were so many different kind of apples?!
Of course you did. However, I was only familiar with Granny Smith, Gala, and Fuji. The rest of these apples were a mystery to me. So, I buffet'd and will now spend the next couple mornings sampling these apples until I find out which ones appeal to my refined-sugar-starved taste-buds.
I'm also giving pears another shot, as everyone seems to rave about them. So far, I think I prefer them crunchy, which sort of leaves me out of the Henry and David fan club.
It is my greatest hope that eliminating sweets from my menu will make all fruits more appetizing and soon I'll be just like the rest of you: not afraid of melon! This of course, makes me a baker who does not eat her creations. So I'm going to need a taste-tester. ;D
Anyway: Please enlighten me on your favorite fruits. Specific names for everything please, because apparently picking out fruit is more like tea shopping that I thought!
