FruitGasm


Pineapples! Gotcha, lol! Ok so I'm told this has become code for something...could be funny, could be dirty or just mildly inappropriate. But meh, maybe it depends on the inflection...hmm. Any who, pineapples - flesh, so juicy and sweet - MMMM. Wow, maybe PINEAPPLES are kinda naughty. Either way, I enjoy them so much. Probably enjoy them too much (my tongue has suffered on more than one occasion). When I lived in Hawaii, pineapples were practically everywhere! I took great joy in eating the ripe, sweet golden fruit....juices running down my chin...sticky, sweet, delicious (Whoa...)

 Moving on...of course it's not just pineapples that I enjoy. Peaches, pears, nectarines, plums, guavas, honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon, cherries, blue berries, strawberries, oranges, pomegranates (not the easiest to prepare to eat but so worth it), bananas, grapes, apples...Yes, I REALLY like fruit - but not all of them (tomatoes, for example. Yes, a tomato is technically a fruit) But most of them are OKAY by me. In fact, I enjoy them sooooooo much that I'm super picky about which ones I buy. Examining, smelling, thumping, checking for bruises, dents and dark spots - takes 5-EVER but I can't help it. They have to be RIGHT.

Choosing bananas is the worst! Is that yellow, YELLOW enough? Are they ripe enough or too ripe and will be mushy? (Ewwww) Too many  spots and OMG is that a DENT???  Hey, did you know bananas are supposed to be peeled from the "bottom"? No? Well, now you do.

 So I'm thinking that I probably won't be using any grocery shopper services. You know the ones that you shop online, they get your list and do the shopping for you. I'm not sure I could trust them to make sure my produce was selected properly.  Alright, perhaps I am slightly OCD about the look, feel and smell of the fresh fruits I buy and eat. Or perhaps I just like quality...

Puzzle

Sometimes we don't know what we want. Heck, most of the time we barely know what it is we need. So, isn't it amazing then that when we find it, stumble across it or when it finds us, it is basically immediately clear that it is in fact what was needed, what was wanted? Like, say you're putting together a puzzle. Perhaps it's one with oh let's say a thousand pieces (whew that's ALOT)                                                                                                                                                    http://clipart-library.com/jigsaw-puzzle.html You start with the edges putting them together and b...

Look before you eat...

Hello folks! This is NOT the Super Bowl party snack post. (check back tomorrow for that one). But it is related to food (smile) This post is a cautionary tale about food - specifically MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT! A friend and coworker of mine visited an establishment who was offering FREE bagels today. How wonderful! I really enjoy bagels from this particular restaurant. And who doesn't like. FREE, right?Well, imagine her surprise when she reached into her a bag for delightful wheel of bready goodness and finds a little something extra: The heck is THAT??!?!?!! What do you think this something extra is? (no, I'm not talking about the raisin) Look closely at the top of the bagel. Do you see those tawny colored rope-y looking things? I was hoping it was a piece of the paper bag the company put her FREE bagels in. But honestly, she I both had the same thought - "It looks like strands of WEAVE/BRAID EXTENSIONS!!!" GASP! My buddy was not ...

Cast Off

Letting go isn't always an easy thing.  It is most times, well, a necessary thing...of course necessary has nothing to do with easy.  How many of you are currently in a relationship? No, not with chocolate or alcohol but an actual relationship with another person? They text you or call you every day several times a day...you're making plans to see them before you even finish with one date...you miss them when your time together for that date is drawing to an end...you see them walking towards you and you can't help but smile, waiting for that hug, that kiss...you have so much fun with them you can't imagine them not being around... Fun stuff right? (Ok well most of the time it is - if not, get out but that's a post for another time)  Ok so for all the currently boo'd up readers, is this your first relationship? Hmm, I'm guessing probably not - at least for most anyway. So at some point you were head over heels for someone else. Each day you woke up excit...
