I have decided after yesterday i am just an addict for fresh veggies & fruit, lol. I am alone but yet i can't resist buying fresg in season things when i see them. Went to the farmer's market mon. & bought tomatoes, purple hull oeas & squash. Yesterday i went over to the next town to do some grocery shopping & to buy cigarettes because they are cheaper & their sales tax is alot lower than ours. I spotted two vendors selling on the side of the road so could i go buy w/out stopping, NO. I bought green beans, peaches , a watermelon & sweet corn from them. I did put part of the peas & green beans in the freezer. Are u an addict to fresh things like i am? mOST PEOPLE ARE AMAZED THAT I COOK FOR JUST ME BUT I DO. dO U??

My problem is that my eyes are bigger than my stomach. That and some nights I don't feel like cooking. I end up wasting too much stuff. But I like fresh fruits and veggies too. Cary really loves fruit, pretty much any kind. The girls are choosier.

I´m SO glad you finally got the watermelon of your dreams, Jo. I can understand you. And, as Dawn said, sometimes my eyes are bigger than my stomach. Specially when visitors don´t come. Now I have that problem. It´s Winter and people prefer to stay at home.
I love veggies. I hope next Summer I´ll have my own VERY SMALL vegetable garden.

I have another birthday this weekend. It´s Felipe, one of my grandsons. He reached the old age of 16. WOW!!! He´s getting older than me! I checked on his need and I´m buying a ball point pen fairly unexpensive. His other needs are another guitar (he is learning flamenco and is quite gifted). Happy weekend to you too, Jo!

I love fresh fruits and veggies too! My b/f doesn't like them as much as I do and he actually does the cooking in the house now..lol..he is a wonderful cook. He does get them for me though. There are a lot of times that he fixes a side that I know he doesn't prefer to suit my tastes. He spoils me rotten most of the time.

i looove fresh fruits~ especially mangoes~~~
i'm so sad that the mango season is over. now i'll have to wait for a year 'til the mangoes are back.
i'm not very fond of vegetables...m(_ _)m but i do eat them because i know i need them to stay alive. i should get some of your addiction.
speaking of fresh veggies, i remember i had a Spanish classmate when i was in japan. at lunch break, she took out a carrot, peeled it (she had a peeler too!) and munched away. i was just shocked. and so were the Japanese. haha. i guess Asians aren't used to eating vegetables fresh~

yes if i go to a farmers market or stop at a stand. but if i just go to the grocery store...no. i usually only remember to grab bananas at the grocers. 
but lately we've had our frige filled with fruits and veggies. since thats mostly what sons gf buys when going grocery shopping. @ANTIQUELADY (36440)

Good on you for taking the time to cook for yourself! When my husband and daughter are not around I tend to be lazy and live on sandwiches instead of making a proper meal for myself. Being addicted to fresh food and vegetables is a pretty good addiction to have and I wish my daughter would get it (LOL)! She hates anything that resembles a healthy veg and eats only fruit which is better than nothing I guess…I go to a fresh produce market every Friday to buy my fresh stuff, much cheaper and nicer there than at the supermarket!

Good morning Paula, I wish my youngest son & my gradson would eat better to. I think they eat way too much junk. My sons weren't raised w/much junk food maybe that's why they like it so much now. Happy weekend to u.

My boyfriend and I just bought a house about 3 months ago and honestly, he never opens the fridge! But i always pass by the farmers market on my way home and there is nothing like fresh fruit and veggies!!
But i'm like you, every week I'll try and buy some fresh fruit and veggies, even though I know its only me that is eating them! I just can't help it!! LOL :)

Nothing compares to juicy fresh fruit and vegetables. Whenever I exercise really hard I always crave fresh things like that, and barbecued things.
