I had a serving of fruit (at least) at breakfast today.

Nonian, I wish I could help you. But my org. hasn't really looked into the non-Southern Sudanese military ethnography. We did put together a slide show about our South Sudan HIV work, but aside from maybe being a nice, semi-topical work break, that probably wouldn't help you much. [link]

Do the tomato chunks in my lunch chili count as fruit?

No, it does not.

It has to be something that would qualify by this criteria: If you were having lunch with friends at a Tuscany villa, and the elegant Italian countess who owns the place sets out the fruit course and this item was conceivably included.

So tomato chunks are right out.

Note: This criteria seems unduly restrictive as it would probably eliminate most tropical fruits which, I think it is safe to say, should count as a fruit serving.

Sorry you got blindsided with that, Suzi. I hope you can get it sorted.

I think I'm skipping my after-work swim today, in favor of picking up my Honeybell oranges that Dad mailed out as well as an Amazon delivery. Also, I'm still arguing with my stomach, and the couple of sips of water I've had since lunch are not settling well, either.

Does the pineapple on my reheated leftover pizza count? I could go eat an apple, I guess.

Suzi, that sucks. I hate banks that shaft me. I've closed accounts over shit like that.

Nonian, I also thank you for the work you're doing. I hope you can find a way to resolve that problem.

Feel free to substitute the appropriate tropical fantasy variation. Perhaps an exclusive Hawaiian resort with cabana boys bringing you a varied fruit plate with pineapple, papaya, mango and oranges.

In other related news, I just ate some peas and broccoli and my body was so happy to eat healthy green vegetables it practically yelped, "Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!"

Oh, inestimable NY-knowledgeable hivemind--if my sister has a noon flight from JFK on a partial holiday (MLK Jr day), when should be be leaving the UES?

I am so glad the other developer is taking over this presentation from me. I'm a little scared that he just started reviewing the material ten minutes ago, but he already found two errors (made not by me!) in it.

As a kid, I acquired a pea-hatred from canned peas. Then I tasted fresh peas and figured out the problem....

I had a head of cauliflower for lunch, but it doesn't seem to have been enough. Hm.
