My husband finds it highly amusing to accompany me to the greengrocer and watch me sniffing things (rockmelon) or weighing things in my hands (mandarins). He does the grab and stuff in bag selection, which never works well.<br />Incidentally, I came across this link on Maggie Aldersons' blog the other day http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelzarrell/someone-needs-to-tell-martha-stewart-her-food-tweets-are-disHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042823968101983560.post-30192915006836055082014-06-05T19:55:32.979+01:002014-06-05T19:55:32.979+01:00I think everyone of us has tried albeit some for s...I think everyone of us has tried albeit some for seconds and some are still at it!

Plus she does have an army of "peep's" doing and thinking up her ideas. This mag could entertain me all summer. Your right about that. I do see a couple things I'd try, so will scan the mag when I see it and decide if I can make any if her magic!!

Peaches are so hit and miss that I will admit to buying the ready ripe ones at the supermarket otherwise it ends up hard then all of a sudden ( to me anyway ) mouldy!!

Of course fried chicken is heaven in these parts... And I prefer mine served with waffles. Yum! I do believe I make a pretty good guacamole and have learned to "feel" when the avocado is ready. Not sure about the peaches though. I had all kinds of tummy troubles many years ago and after lots of testing my doc suggested a probiotic once a day...I am much better thank you.Blue Boobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504819843930360278noreply@blogger.com
