hey everyone! what are some of your favorite fruit and vegetables and why??

I'll go first!!!

fruit:
1. concord grapes-sour and sweet at the same time! cruchy on the outside, sweet and juicy on the inside
2. pomagranate-takes FOREVER to eat, sweet and juicy and crunchy seeds.

Veg:
1. portabellos: meaty and rich feels like you're eating steak not veggies! great with onions yum
2: Asparagus: tastes gourmet and goes with everything!
3. Raw peppers (red yellow and orange): so sweet and colorful they dress up any meal

Cherries! (especially Ranier cherries, though I don't eat these often because they're pricey). Among vegetables, I actually really like brussel sprouts (I know--not the most popular veggie out there). They're good either steamed or sauteed in a little olive oil with garlic. I also really like bell peppers (either raw or cooked).

For the fruit I really like ice cold watermelon because it's sweet and juicy. For the veggie, let's see, I would have to go with yellow squash and onions on the grill. I just love the taste.

I just read all this and broke into tears, I hate them all, yet I wish I loved them all. I live on dried mango and nuts. I so wish that I could relish those small delights as you all can. I am so happy for you all.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
