Holy cow, it has been so crazy busy at work! I don't know what's going on, or if half the country won the lottery, but season is still here! I have been so tired by the time I get home at night that it's hard to even fall asleep..does that make sense? At any rate, being busy makes you hungry..or at least it makes ME hungry!! So thank you Gloria, for giving me a boost tonight at work!
I am forever spouting about eating healthy, and raw, and do this, not that, blah..blah..blah.. Sometimes I bore myself! Well, I work with a woman named Gloria, who grew up in the Dominican. Now, if you are a half intelligent human being, you are aware that they have a TOTALLY different lifestyle in the Dominican than we do. Gloria has been in the states for most of her adult life, and is married with 3 children..trying to raise them well in a COMPLETELY unhealthy society!! It's hard enough to feed your children properly in this day and age, in this country..match that with the skewed information given by our government and media..and most people get confused about WHO to listen to!! Gloria reminds me of a young child in this aspect..because she is always asking questions about food..which is GREAT! I would have loved to know all this stuff when Katina was little..she would have been stuffing her face with avocado's like my nephew Mack (who is about 8 years younger than her). So Gloria and I have had some great discussions about foods..more along the lines of what different things mean, what's REALLY healthy, and what the government wants you to THINK is healthy ;)
So along the way, we have shared recipes, and brought foods in to sample...long story short..I owe Gloria a bunch of thanks today. She arrive at work a little before 5:00 today..( I had been there since 2:00). At about 5:30 (just about "snack time") she said "Oh, Sarah, I have something for you..some juice"! and she ran to the break room. Bless her heart, she had thought to bring me some juice that she made today, something she remembered from the Dominican. Beets, carrots, lemon, water, and I think ginger. Anyway, it was so yummy (and I am NOT a fan of beets..never have been..I think it's the fact that the color gets on everything..come on, it's weird)..So thank you Gloria, you arrived with a healthy pick me up, right when I needed it! It's so nice to know all of our information sharing was well received.
Now when will season end!!
beets are actually pretty tasty, we're growing them in our garden this year. we tried to grow them last year, but only got little walnut sized beets. becca loves them.
ReplyDeleteI agree, and I've never really been picky about vegetables (as you know). I will say that down here I have more access to "ethnic" produce..and haven't found one I didn't like! I tried something called Tamarind the other day..have you heard of it? Pretty good little snack.
