Natures perfect food

HEADS -
*OR*
TAILS

I can't help noticing how many fruits and veggies end up in the trash in my home.
I always seem to wait too long to cut up that 3 pack of Gigantic cantaloupes from costco... when I finally attempt it, SLIME!
I Constantly buy, wash and put grapes in a beautiful bowl on my table... Kids pick at a few of them the first day... a few days later.... FUR !
I know how important it is to eat many vegetables. I buy them!.. I wash them!.. I prepare them! I cook them! TOO often even though the date says they should be fresh.... MUSH!
But the point I am really trying to make here for Heads of tails...?
EVERY TIME I open a bag of lays potato chips or Milano Cookies.... they Are PERFECT!!! No washing, no chopping, no cooking, No Slime, No Fur and Only occasionally a bit Mushy ( if I choose to dip them in my red wine.) THAT's good eating!
(thanks for the weekly infusion of inspiration Skittles!)

This is a problem. Luckily, I'm a big fruit & veg eater, so it rarely goes off.

I'd much prefer the fruit to the chips any day. But that's after I learned [from the advice of MANY doctors and cardiologists] to stop eating the salty, fatty foods.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

I have to nod in agreement with you here. I have two smushy oranges and one smushy apple in my fridge right now! I haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure I also have some brown, wilted lettuce, slimy zucchini, oozing tomatoes, and bendy carrots. All of which I bought before vacation.

Junk food always lasts longer. Oh wait. No it doesn't. I eat it.

Good point! Very tasty, the Milanos and chips. Yes!!

As hard as I try to eat all the fruits and vegies I buy, there's always something that ends up in the compost bin anyway. The only cure has been to buy less, only what I'm sure we can get through in a week. It cuts down on the variety, but I feel less guilty when I clean the fridge. That's gotta be worth something.

And, no, a cookie never goes to waste around here. Not ever.

We are a bunch of fruit & veggie lovers at our house. Fresh produce doesn't last in our house, although I often wish it would. Chips & cookies are cheaper too.
