A friend gave my family some passion fruit this week and it really got me thinking about how grateful I am to have fresh fruits and vegetables in my life.
Dear Vickee, I loved this tale of your developmental journey with and through food. I could taste both the sensory and psychological delight in discovering as a teenager and young adult that there was an expansive, rich, and yummy world of fresh fruits and vegetables, including such treasures as spinach, avocados, romaine lettuce, cherries, and mangos. Canned fruits, fruits as juices, and frozen veggies seemed to reflect a more limited childhood world that you were able to reflect on and move beyond. And you’ve shared this larger (and healthier) world with your boys. Good for you! Thanks for offering this wonderful food and life story.

Glen your commentary always brings me such joy. Thank you for reading and for your kind words my friend. :-)
