French Dessert
Photo by Karen at French Skinny
When we first started the French Skinny Experiment, it was clear that Shaboom ate what was in season. I always wanted to do this.......but my life was so chaotic I never got around to it. Slowly over the last year this habit has changed. For all of us.
Today, 4 begged me to get a watermelon. Not a fruit roll up or some sugary cereal. Watermelon! I pretended to let him "talk" me into it. "Okay." I said after his passionate plea.
I cut it up. Hubby and 4 ate 3 pieces each. I took some over to the neighbors who ate every piece on the plate.
I had 2 pieces myself.
There's still half a watermelon left. Pretty good for a 5 dollar investment.
I feel good about my family's choices, 4 feels like he got away with something and my neighbors think I'm the June Cleaver of desserts.
Win, win, win, win, win.
karen--here on the east coast, i have become desensitized to"in season" items because everything is available all year(at varying degrees of quality, taste, and price). i no longer even know a true seasonal item. something for me to work on reaquainting myself with. as always "food for thought"-g
ReplyDeleteg, check out your local farmer's markets or if you're in a city, the public market. They always have fruits and vegetables in season, and no middleman!
