We bought two ripe baby papayas over the weekend. H likes his papaya cut-up into bite-sized pieces. I made a papaya drink last night. I remember my grandmother making this for me. Having this last night brought back so many wonderful childhood memories.
All I needed was a cup of bite-sized ripe papayas, ice cubes and [...]

Arugula DilemmaI bought a bag of fresh greens at Market! Market! last weekend. The greens were 50% arugula and 50% red lettuce.
