Food for Thought

All fruits offer health benefits plus I always find them a satisfying snack or even lunch sometimes. When in doubt, I grab a few fruits to take with me. I can never go wrong and I always try to keep plenty in my house. And most fruit has such a wonderful taste when it is out as opposed to being in the refrigerator. So, I put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and take them out a few at a time to let them assume the best flavor ever!

If there is any fruit that I push more any other; the one that lures me in with promises of high antioxidants and yummy goodness, the one that will lower my cholesterol when I approach that bridge, if ever, the one that will prevent heart disease... Oh, yes, that round little ball of blueness. My favorite blueberry. I even picked a few for the occasion. They were not as plentiful today, but, they definitely made up for the shortage by having a delectable suggestion of deliciousness.

I have always loved fruits and vegetables, even juicing them to get the full nutritional value of everything that I buy. Waste not, want not, am I right? It was in juicing that I learned I could eat the skin of the kiwi. Who knew? Not this girl. This nutrient-packed delight is already on the good deal list of fruits. But, did you realize that by eating the skin, you triple your fiber intake? But, hey! If you peel it, you still get a healthy dose of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, folate, and potassium

Another that is a favorite Okay, you got me, they are all my favorites! is the true-blue albeit a little red-faced strawberry! Who doesn't love them? The strawberry is sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, plus it is a low-calorie food. Who could resist?

Well, until we meet again. You know I am going to bother you. But, no fretting. I will post a flower in a little bit. After you eat your spinach. Let's not forget that we all need 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every single day.

Okay... you know the drill!!! Let's do a refrigerator check!!! Open up wide and take a picture! That always keeps me honest on the junk I put in it. To be fair, this is my last refrigerator posted, so I admit to cheating. I didn't have enough time, but it still has some of the same awesome yumminess inside!

Why hello there! My name is Remmy and I am a diva, no lying about it. Are you my food slave? I don't recognize you, but, can you get me four kitty scoops of tuna topped with a treat?

Take your hand my dearest
Catch my breath
Alas, this moment, last time
Letting the sigh slip by, goodbye
Emerging
From a point of splendor
A veil of softness, the loveliness
Still
To this day
Takes my breath away

A flower. There must always be a flower to color my world.

Planted firmly on the high pinnacle of American faith, the gently fluttering folds are an inspiration of things that can be — at Washington Monument National Monument.


I Am Old Glory

I Am Old Glory: For more than ten score years I have been the banner of hope and freedom for generation after generation of Americans.

Born amid the first flames of America’s fight for freedom, I am the symbol of a country that has grown from a little group of thirteen colonies to a united nation of fifty sovereign states.

Planted firmly on the high pinnacle of American Faith my gently fluttering folds have proved an inspiration to untold millions.

Men have followed me into battle with unwavering courage.

They have looked upon me as a symbol of national unity.

They have prayed that they and their fellow citizens might continue to enjoy the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, which have been granted to every American as the heritage of free men.

So long as men love liberty more than life itself; so long as they treasure the priceless privileges bought with the blood of our forefathers; so long as the principles of truth, justice and charity for all remain deeply rooted in human hearts, I shall continue to be the enduring banner of the United States of America.

Originally written by Master Sergeant Percy Webb, USMC.

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

Well I certainly know what my favorite fruit is....Hand over a few of those red grapes, will ya. Ok, ok you drive a hard bargain, I will share some cheese...you can choose. Maybe some nice Muenster, or how about a bit of feta, oh I know some blue cheese?

Oh I am pretty sure Remmy there was trying to do the Jedi mind trick on me, yikes!

Oh, I should have known about the grapes! It is hard to hide those bad boys from you. They do go well with a bit of the bleu. Or perhaps some wine on the side.

You pick it!

Haha! Oh, Remmy is so transparent, isn't he? He is a master at his game. But, he is a lot of fun. It is absolutely perfect out. The perfect day for a perfect day. Truly. This is better than spring this morning. I cannot believe the weather!

Enjoy this weather! Pull out the jet ski and go for it!

Wow! Lovely fruits making me famished for a food diet! Your fridge is just like a supermarket! I could shop around there!
I don’t have the time to do shopping these days so I run out of fruits today!

I wish I could just make your fruits disappear through a worm hole and travel to my fridge!! So, I don’t have to go shopping!! Lol

 4 years ago 

Oh, I hear you. It would be so much easier if the store came to my house! Don't they have the carts that go to people's houses? Perhaps closer to the city. That would be a lot of trouble.

But, I would surely use it!! LOL

I can see what is in the fridge this way. So much easier. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello!

The problem here is cheap fruits are imported from China, but growers there tend to use chemical fertilizer and weed killer. So, these never taste right to me!

Imported berries are quite expensive too.
Thai fruits also have been under chemical environment! So, I have to grow my own fruit trees and they take years to be matured enough to give us fruits! At least we have many mangoes, bananas, lemons, Thai grave fruits this year.

I buy imported apples from New Zealand, they are quite cheap! We can’t grow apricot or apple trees here yet!

Have a nice weekend!
Cheers.
