fruits of the season. . .




it's been five weeks now since i quit sugar
so i thought i'd have a go 
at introducing some sweetness
 back into my diet

i'd like to be able to tell you
that i did this in a calm and controlled manner,
but i gorged on those delicious figs
like a woman possessed

. . . just like i do every year

  4. You know what... I have never eaten a fresh fig. Only seen withering ones. These looked so fresh and yum!

  6. I have never eaten a fig. True story.

    Hope that reintroducing sugar (through fruit) goes well... and you enjoy it!

  7. my oh my those tamarillos! We had lots of trees of these when I was a kid, but since then I don't buy them as they are hideously expensive in shops. Must plant some trees.
    And figs - I need fig trees too. Yes, I totally devour them just as they are. Sometimes I stop to photograph them, but not very often....

    How are you going with the re-introduction of (fruit) sugar? Curious to hear about it. I'm not sure if I could quit sugar, but am cutting down on it (sort of!).

  12. Fruits are a safe source of sugar. It's high fructose corn syrup that you want to avoid at all costs.
