I Must Be Experiencing a Vitamin Deficiency Because I Went to Wegmans Today and Bought a Bunch of Tropical Fruit
Avocadoes
I bought two, made them into guacamole, and ate in a way that reminded me why it’s dangerous to make guacamole when there aren’t other people around to notice how much you’re eating all at once. Whenever I eat guacamole, I wonder why anyone ever eats anything else.
Grapefruit
Grapefruit is probably one of my favorite foods. I think this is at least in part because you can only get decent grapefruit for two or three months here in western NY. Last year, when I was in my annual few weeks of eating grapefruit every morning, Lucas decided that he also loves grapefruit, and he has been bugging me for WEEKS to get some. Tomorrow morning, he will be very happy.
Pineapple
Although Lucas will also want to eat some pineapple. Much as I love pineapple, I can’t eat it for breakfast. (Lucas can, but, then again, he’ll also eat sweet pickles for breakfast. He’s such an odd child.) Eating pineapple is like eating sunshine. It makes me feel better when we’re having these endless stretches of days that are short and cloudy.

I ate sunshine once and it burned my mouth.

Quit bragging about going to Wegmans. The two things I miss most are Wegmans and Alan (my hairdresser).

Jason, That's because the sun doesn't like you. Besides that, you think food that is room temperature is hot.
Kelly, Sorry. You wouldn't believe me if I said I went to Tops, though.

I take extreme offence to people who don't go to Wegmans when they can.

Oh, the sun likes me. It just doesn't like it when I try to eat it. It has personal space issues, being millions of miles away and all.

Isn't guacamole one of the food groups -- just in and of itself?

I made really crummy guacamole, and I still loved it. Avocados shouldn't be allowed to be this good.

Cathy and Jules, Avocados are like the porn of fruit.
Camille, Oh, yum.
