Eat More Fruit
Every year I make the same resolution "Eat More fruit". Last year I started with apples trying to eat one every day. I was pretty successful and soon came to love apples. This year I added mandarins oranges to the list. A three pound bag of small gala apples is around $3 and a five pound bag of mandarins is between $5 and $6 both cheap enough to be a staple in my diet. Fruits of all types are readily available year round in most supermarkets. I like both galas and mandarins but have to admit that if a doughnut was in front of me I would grab the doughnut before I grabbed the apple or mandarin. Doughnuts are delicious in ways an apple or mandarin could never be but I'm not about to eat a doughnut every day. I prefer fruit that has a long shelf life. Apples if kept in the refrigerator will last almost two months while mandarins have a much shorter shelf life. I'm still experimenting with the mandarin shelf life but it looks like it's at least two weeks. I seem to plan my trips to the grocery store when I run out of fruit. Even if fruit in not on my list it seems to find it's way into my cart. Here lately I've eating a couple of mandarins for breakfast and an apple for an afternoon snack. So far my new years resolution is holding. Will I get full of apples and oranges and grab a box of doughnuts the next time I go to the grocery store. Maybe!
