POPS You Really Cut Me Up I am having trouble with my clipping tool. Some images were clipped twice. Funny thing though, they just happened to be my favorites. This coming October's celebration of the dead, I think we should try to use different veggies and fruits to carve. Who says it;s gotta be a pumpkin? I love that little green apple!

POPSOut With the Old, In With the Raw In general, if you are craving crap you are likely to be deficient in some area of nutrition. Eating enough greens will solve this problem. Most smoothie bars are serving up so much sugar you may as well be at a Dairy Queen. There are tons of green smoothie recipes online and in books like Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko to help you keep it fresh in the kitch. Get your green smoothie in often and feel the difference. Here’s one from the article: Ghetto Green Smoothie • Fresh spinach • Bananas • Water Fill your blender up ¾ full with the fresh spinach. Add two bananas and just enough water to get it to blend down (the idea is to get as much greens in while maintaining your taste preference). Blend and taste. Too sweet? Add more greens. Too swampy? Add more bananas. You can also add ice or use frozen bananas for a frostier blend. More nutritional goodness at the site.

POPSDoes Washing Really Reduce Pesticides? I'm warming to this topic. Scald fruit with boiling water, and you'll often literally see the chemicals as the heat changes the compounds and makes them visible. But ya need fruit for a good diet, don't ya? And I hear some of the "organic" stuff isn't "really" organic! Dilemmas more important than Mac or PC? Sadly, they're out there. :(
