If the smoothie is made from whole fruit, you should get virtually all the value.
Re my post from earlier - snce I'm not a big fruit eater, pulpy juices appeal when I have that taste for something fruity. I know they're not remotely nutritionally the same. I did think that, sodium concerns aside, and they do have a low-sod version, V-8 was more nutritionally sound. (Though if I'm wanting veg, it doesn't cure the craving at all. So I guess it's actually completely opposite, disregarding everything I said before.)
Who was it who was looking for the McCormick spice jars with the green lids? We got rid of most of that stuff when my dad sold the house, but I found one straggler this morning and snagged it.
I picked up some lavender honey and something called honey caramel (made from orange blossom honey) because the samples were freaking delicious at the Mother's Day Artisan Fair. Don't know what to do with them, but I do know that eating with a spoon is an option.
Forgot to ask mom about her the spice jars! She refills them, so I can't just steal them, at least not without leaving piles of spices in her kitchen. I think she'd notice that.
Cool, thanks. Maybe I'll wait to send until the move so it's not one more thing to pack.
I don't think I'm going to find much good stuff at our farmers market until mid-June. There is a great baker that sells there. Last week I got a loaf of Lemon Mint White Chocolate bread. It was nummy. I resisted this week though. So far there is only one produce vendor.
My kids have been wonderful today. Kelly is sad she can't be here, but I'll see her in about 17 days. CJ has been as comforting as a 13 year old boy can be. I've just been a weepy mess all day.
I bought stuff to make a stir fry for dinner, but I'm really thinking about just ordering Thai. And I'll probably change my mind again in 10 minutes.
My town has it's farmers' market on Thursdays from Noon 'til 6. During our summer hours I don't even have time to get there for that last bit. Annoying.
Meanwhile, I went to the regular grocery store, took my cat out on her leash and have therefore done the things I set out to do today. (I cannot believe how much money I spent at the store. . . but then I haven't been in much too long.)
Our local dollar store is going out of business. Don't know if that should be taken as a sign of times getting worse, a sign of times getting better, or a sign that the people managing our local dollar store did not know what they were doing.

Raspberries and cherries appeared today! I wish we had more non-produce vendors, though a few of the Wednesday people have finally started coming on Sunday.

I still haven't figured out the best time for the market, since going early means more stuff, but going late means more stuff for $1. And I'm always trying to coordinate with the library, which opens at noon.
