I consider mushrooms to be vegetables so I can pretend to myself that I eat enough vegetables.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Mushrooms are a separate category. A separate GROSS category. Bleh!

Botanically, a fruit is anything that holds seeds. In my head, anything I'd put salt on is a vegetable. (I am not one of the deluded watermelon salters.)

If it's just seeds inside, you get peppers and all squashes, too.
Yep.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Then what in sweet hell is a banana?
Genetically engineered over multiple generations not to have seeds, but still fruit.
Freak! It's a tasty freak!

CJ got "Lucille" back. He is a happy boy. I told him there was a hot chick waiting for him in the parking lot.
When I was wee, I remember Fruits and Vegitables were always "Fruits and Veggies", together.

That's how I think of it. That way if I eat a banana and a ton of (what we conventionally think of as) fruit but don't eat any (what we conventionally think of as) vegetables, I still feel like I got my 5 servings of fruits-and-veggies in for the day.

My power came back on about half an hour ago after being off for five hours. Just when I was thinking that I should run errands, a torrential thunderstorm started. The storm made it too dark to do much, and I accidentally fell asleep.
We had a huge number of trees down from a storm Thursday. When that happens, the power company often makes temporary fixes, then comes back and replaces poles and the like. I suspect that's what this was, but my neighbor was throwing an absolute fit about how she paid a lot of money for electricity and this was unacceptable. I'm not sure what magic Georgia Power could have worked to keep us from having three years of severe drought followed by a very wet spring.
