Fruit is magical

Can I just say that fruit is the root of all things wonderful in this world? Well, it is! If you didn't know, get on the train cause it's leaving!

My family has decided that Sunday is our day to go to Sprouts Market and get fruit...as much of it as we can. Last Sunday, as an accident, we went to Sprouts to get fruit because we forgot to get it when we were at Costco. We bought lots of fruit for around $20. This time, we spent about $30 and got apples, plums, nectarines, pears, 2 cantaloupe, 2 yellow melon with orange flesh, watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries (I think that's it).

Anyway, I stood in the kitchen and melon-balled every single melon. It took a long time, but that means that in a rush we can grab a bag and run out of the door. I had so much fruit last week that I am surprised I didn't turn into a fruit salad! The most fruit I had in one day was banana, peach, apple, watermelon and cantaloupe all in about 30 minutes as I walked to work. It was pretty crazy. I got to work and I was full and satisfied, but not completely overwhelmed by food like I sometimes feel when I eat meat. I'm not saying that I don't like eating meat, but I like a light lunch that's going to hold me up, not drag me under the espresso machine or sitting on the floor in front of the refrigerator, yearning for the floor mat to be my comfy pillowtop mattress at home. I like the energy the fruit gave me because it didn't require a fork and knife which meant that I could eat it with ease.

Suggestion: Take the time to melon-ball/seperate the fruit into ziploc baggies while you have the chance instead of trying to seperate everything at one time in the morning when you have other things to do. I know that I'm usually running around because there's something I forgot to clean, I have to brush my hair, etc.

I just wanted to leave those tips with you. If you would like, I'll give you more Jasmine-isms and things that I've learned in my 25 years of life.

Quick question: Have you ever forgiven someone you felt you shouldn't have?

Much love, peace and happiness!
DEUCES!

P.S. Pictures of the food from the tapas party on Saturday night will be up soon. No one came to it, so it was just the family.
