They are predicting a major snowstorm for this weekend, so I will need to stock up. I imagine I will just pick up LOTS of oranges, bananas, dates, cantaloupes, tomatoes, pineapples and anything else that looks promising.
I am really into the oranges now and thankfully they are excellent. So are the cantaloupes. All have been quite syrupy lately, and I find myself thinking orange. The other day in the store I saw a bottle of Orange Crush, something that was a special treat from my childhood. After that, I just wanted to get home to my own orange syrup. It also reminds me of another childhood favorite: Nikl Nips, little wax bottles filled with fake fruity syrup. Have you ever noticed how children LOVE fruit-flavored candy and drinks? Man, I sure did. Children KNOW.
Yes, lately I have orange syrup on the brain. ♥
I totaly know what you mean with the orange syrup on the brain!! I have the same syndrome! Have you ever had cara cara oranges? They are pink on the inside! I have a pick of them on my blog www.thefruitariancook.blogspot.com if you wanna see
ReplyDeleteYou have probably been asked this question a million times, Julie, but how long did it take you to not crave salt? Thanks, Esmee
ReplyDeleteYes, Jules... I had Nikl Nips sometime last year and I have to say... they tasted chemically and irritated me! Nothing is kinder to us than fruit! And we can have a lot of fruit and still feel good! ☺ It's really nice. Fruitarians definitely know where it's at!
ReplyDeletei love this
ReplyDeletedear julie,

i send you love, love, sweet love
Wow. . . I love you, Fruity Girlfriends. ♥
ReplyDeleteYes, Alyssa, I have had them before. They ARE beautiful! Thank you. ♥
Dear Esmee. . . Hmmmmm, about the salt. . . I guess it did not take long, because I wasn't ever big on salt. I was more of a sugaraholic which was cured IMMEDIATELY when I started eating fruit. Now I can eat sugar all day long. Ha! I do not miss salt because I think it tastes and feels TERRIBLE. If I want something salty/savory I eat tomatoes. Hope this helps. ♥
Hey, Tinah. . . very funny that you know about Nikl Nips. I guess they still do make them. But you are right. . . the real thing is better! ♥
Thank you, Sweet Mouthwash! You won't need any mouthwash if you are living on fruit. ;)
Sweet Isabel. . . bless your heart. For the record, I am far from perfect, but thank you for your loving words. I appreciate you. ♥
