i’m pretty sure it’s fig season..
and i love me some figs… just love ’em…
i decided to try ALL THREE kinds of figs this year… even though i have always heard that black mission figs are the best… i wanted to give them all a fair chance and then decide for myself… i had only had the black figs prior to this little experiment… Continue reading
today was rough, i will admit that. and i think this photo shows it – maybe i should’ve photoshopped the bags from under my eyes – hA! oh well, i’m an honest person – this is how i look and feel on a 5-day DIY cleanse i randomly decided to do and invent 😉
today was harder than yesterday. but it makes sense now – after i did a ton of research on cleansing and symptoms. see, this is how i roll – i just wing it… whatever “it” is. sometimes it works out, sometimes i learn a valuable lesson the hard way, meh. anyway – i was super nervous about how i was feeling today… mostly because i was unsure if it was “normal,” if you will. and plus, i was abruptly awoken this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep, so i knew i’d be a little irritable, but i worried i was doing more damage than good with this cleanse…

it’s cherry season!!!!!

OG cherries are typically 9-10 dollars a pound when bought in march or april when they start trickling in. but if you buy them now, you’re going to pay a lot less – somewhere between 3-5 dollars a pound — and yes, for organic! and if you can grab some from a farmers market, even better!!! or if you have a CSA buy-in, you may notice them arriving with your monthly shipment. yum – and you can totally freeze them. or make jams or syrups for your sodastream maker… Continue reading
nothing says summer to me quite like watermelon. when in its seasonal prime – flavourful, juicy, fresh, delicious watermelon.
whole foods market had a one day sale – 2/$5 on these organic beauties. and i bought four. this is my last one, and i’m eating it today to celebrate summer! i bought a little melon baller, which i think is just so fun for precisely this reason 🙂 — and – way easier!! Continue reading
so – it’s fathers day and all and my dad lives in a different state, so i will not be able to celebrate with him — but i will still celebrate him and life in general! i did get to have dinner with my kickin’ grandpa though, and that was lovely.
