Hi everyone,
Am I the only one to get excited about little things like having your favorite fruit or veggie on sale at the grocery store? Or finally finding certain foods like jerusalem artichokes? Speaking of which, does anyone have good (yet simple) recipes for these?
Thanks!

And I got
especially special avocados from a new shop I found and the buzz lasted for days, I am not kidding…
Isn’t it funny getting so excited about fruit and veg, such simple pleasures,mmmm!

The other day I asked the guy in the produce section if he had any banana’s in the back that were going bad. He brought out a HUGE bag of them and I got them at a discount price. Sweet!

Sheree, you should try posting the recipe on the site proper, and let us know if you run into any problems. It’s super helpful to have newcomers try it out, and let us know how it works!
