fruity.

I had the most delicious papaya yesterday! Next time I buy one, I'm definitely making sorbet out of it!!



I also made Strawberry Jelly from the 3 lbs of strawberries that I bought from the store for only $3.00!!! What a deal! Also, egg slicers are not just for slicing eggs, check it out! (you can use it on mushrooms too)

Strawberry Jelly
2 lbs sliced strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice

Cook the ingredients in a sauce pan over medium low heat until it is a liquid consistency. Let it cool, then place in a container in the fridge to firm up.

Nature is stronger.

"Nature is stronger than any of our designs, and nature resists our control." - Michael Pollan

Just finished watching an amazing documentary about the role of plants in our human world. It touches on the effects of trying to control crops, marijuana, and fruit, and how this can ultimately do more harm than good. If you have any interest in plants or how food from nature has evolved, you should definitely watch The Botany of Desire. It's on Netflix! :)
