Well, as you could tell from our pics- we had a BLAST in the Bahamas!  What a gorgeous place!!!  How incredible to live in a place that has an average, year 'round temp. of 74-78!!  I would love to live there!!  I'd have a gorgeous vegetable garden year round!!  But anyway- for now we are back in chilly Cincinnati.   although today is rather pretty and sunny.  I even sat out in my back yard this afternoon with a cup of coffee and let the sun hit my face. ahhh.  I got a bit of a burn in the Bahamas- it's starting to brown- and PEEL!    I certainly did not inherit the good tanning genes.  I must have very little melanin.  Unlike my baby sister who browns like CRAZY!!  lucky girl.

Okay- as most of you know, we eat a very natural diet of mostly raw fruits and veggies, and anything cooked we cook from scratch, and keep meals very simple using ingredients as close to nature as possible.  We also try very hard to buy organic.  WELL.  Apparently there is a price to organic- and I'm not talking at the register!!!  haha!  I have been enjoying a bag of organic dried prunes the past few days, just a couple a day to keep the ol' system running smoothly- you know... So the other day I reached in, pulled out a nice, fat, juicy prune, popped it in my mouth, and started to chew.  When I looked into the bag.  And to my horror.  There was a WORM!!!    I quickly pulled the prune out of my mouth and looked at it.  Yeah, you guessed it.  I guess I've had some extra PROTEIN the past few days!!!!   Needless to say, we will be returning the bag of prunes.

p.s. anyone tuning in to Highschool Reunion on TV Land??  It started last night at 10:00 and comes on every Wednesday (you can still see it b/c they are running reruns of it).  It's a reality show of a 20 year H.S. reunion.  Looks fun.

 

Yuck! Gross. Bleck. Pffft. :)

Welcome back from your trip. I loved the photos. :)

Congratulations, Gina!

I just placed your seeds in the mailbox. The plan had been to include a bread recipe that called for millet grains but I couldn't find it. I promise to send it to you by email, blog, or snail mail just as soon as I find it!

Blessings!

Yuck! Though you can't get much more organic than worms! :)


I'm glad your trip was so nice.

Oh my ... I think I would not be able to eat for days. You are a good sport!!! I believe you could write a book/journal on your funny experiences and sell it ... they are hilarious!!!! It would become a best seller!! : )
