A variety of fresh fruits
I spend a lot of time playing that was then and this is now. In part because I don’t always see what I’m doing but that’s for another day. Today I’m going to focus on diet. Specifically what I have available to me that fits under the rubicon of fruit. Back in the old days the only fruits we ever saw regularly where apples. Generally apples found on a tree in the backyard. Citrus was reserved for Christmas and they required the intervention of Santa Claus. But now we are much better served by the grocery industry. On any given day at the local market I can find a whole selection of fresh fruits. Sufficient to make a fruit salad if I so desired. I am much more apt to take a banana or a page or nectarine rarely an apple. We have a whole series different citrus fruit available to alloy have not yet sorted out all the names that are used period. I almost never go looking for things that are exotic. Things like dates. Is the date even a fruit? And what about those hairy little green things that I sometimes find in the closet or the refrigerator or other odd locations. I really need to get better control on where i find my food. I am fortunate that there are also grapes because by definition every single grape qualifies as a piece of fresh fruit and on the pieces we buy meaning the vines we can have as many as 100. A pretty good way to get my vitamin C don’t you agree. I do abstain from cans of fruit salad but that is due to the overpowering sugar syrup. And a certain time of the year I can get a fresh Peach but that seems to last only for a couple of weeks and then back to the usual fair. Still I will not complain. Not nearly as monotonous as a barrel of apples. Perhaps if I turn the apples in the cider I will be happier.
