Do you have any tricks or tip on how to pick them though? I feel like it is just hit and miss for me. Sometimes it is great and others it is not ripe enough or mushy and pithy. Yuck.<BR/><BR/>I should try your raw... my waistline has been on the yo-yo track the last year. I need to fix it but I don't think I like vegetables as well as you do.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14175689037740815962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408874920351031218.post-65955685009295684552008-06-13T13:33:00.000-04:002008-06-13T13:33:00.000-04:002008-06-13T13:33:00.000-04:00I'm right there with ya sister!

Tough! Hehe. I'm sure your energy levels go through the roof when you start eating healthier. Balancing your diet that way sounds wise. It's probably easier to do in the summer months when your body is not craving sturdy foods as much. Maybe I should give it a try. <BR/><BR/>Love the watermelon granita.

It is fun to see the inspiration behind this new focus of your blog.I totally understand where you are coming from.
