fruit and vegetables failure

My office is having a "fruit and vegetables challenge" where you track how many servings of fruit and vegetables you eat and get points for them, and the points enter you in a drawing. I really love fruit and vegetables, so I thought about just tracking the ones I already eat, but then I looked at the prizes: a diet cookbook, a diet book, a book about controlling high blood pressure (mine is on the low side), a salad spinner & other kitchen knick-knacks (I've got 'em all), and an organic fruit basket. Hmm. 4 things I don't want, and one thing I already get once a week. Not worth the effort.

But I wonder how many people would actually want those things. If you don't like "health food", a diet cookbook is not going to help. A fruit basket is tasty but not really "grand prize" worthy. The stair-climbing challenge they did a few months ago had a big-screen TV as a prize. This one should offer a year's subscription to a farm share or something equally worthwhile.

Breakfast of Champions

I don't think I could make it to Sound Bites for brunch today if I didn't have a little bit to eat. So I'm snacking on sev mamra and pineapple juice (separately, not mixed). It's so spicy and energizing! I wish I could share this delicious breakfast with the world.

Note to self


I think this outfit is adorable and I would totally wear it (or something with a similar cute over-shirt and patch work) to the wedding garba of certain hypothetical in-laws. From Anshu's Designer Studio in Ahmedabad.
