I have decided, I will just have green smoothies today. I haven not been able to keep from snacking my step son's junk food. And it's getting to me, since I feel myself slipping farther and farther. Many more thoughts of just grabbing a sad food cross my mind, and I know that feeling.

I love them, for all the smallish, not so uniform fruit, that is picked ripe and fresh! It's the best! No huge perfect looking fruit can taste this good!

We got a case of those delicious, melt-on-your tongue grapes, boy I was looking forward to these all year!

Also got some smallish paste tomatoes, that I will dehydrate. I imagine those to be perfect for dehydrating. -crosses fingers-

We made a lot of rich almond milk fresh in the morning, and Dillan ...
