5 servings of fruits and vegetables

One of the great things about being here, at least for me, is the farmers' markets that I get to explore regularly. Some spoils from today's trip out to the Pomona (a neighbouring town) farmers' market.



Other things that I've managed to buy, but didn't have time/opportunity to take pics of: apple chips, apple juice, zucchini, xiao bai chai, kai lan, fresh shitaake mushrooms, multi-grain bread. All organic!

E is a vegetarian by nature. She loves her fruits and is game to give anything a try, so long as they fall under the catergory of fruits or vegetables. Meat, she's not so keen on, although she did eat quite a bit of fried chicken at a gathering for international students from K's school last night. More often than not, she spits out her meats. E does seem to share J's love for mushrooms. J, on the other hand, is more of a carnivore. He refuses to try any and all fruits. Scrunches up his nose, shakes his head, and runs away. Fast.

Organic apple juice is amazing. Much much tastier than the store-bought kind. I'd choose organic juice any day. Oh, but of course, more expensive. Sigh. Can't have it perfect.
