First box of produce from Full Belly Farm


I first heard about CSA at an Asian Fusion Organic restaurant in LA about a month ago. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is a part of a growing social movement that forms a partnership between the people eating the food and the people growing the food. This movement is not something new. It started in Japan in the 60's when a number of people became concerned about where their food came from. The way CSA works is, members of CSA agrees to pay a farm in advance for their share of the produce. This way, farmers get a fair share for their labor and members get really fresh produce. It's good for the environment and it's good for the farmer.

So we are giving this a try and see if we can adjust to eating seasonally. The picture above is our share of $17 from Full Belly Farm. The only drawback is that we have no choice in the selection of vegetables and fruit they pack for us. They pack what is in season. But the good part is, it's fresh and organic.

Organic produce

Going organic, should I or shouldn't I? Going organic can be expensive as can be seen at the organic produce section at the local grocery store. Pesticide kills off pests so if it's bad for those organisms, it's got to be bad for us. And Plus, study has shown that going organic is good for your metabolism. So is it worth it? Of course! So what if you can't afford to go all out on being organic? I read an article on this this and it says, that you don't have to go 100% organic to reap the benefits. According to this article, a little goes a long way. The key is knowing what has the most pesticides and going organic on those. You can lower your pesticide exposure by 80% by just avoiding the top 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables. Click here for the full list of contaminated fruit and vegetables.

She: I really like my friend, E's new glasses. She got it at costco. She said it's $60 or so and they have different colors. Let's go to costco.

He: What? Another pair of glasses you have way too many pairs of glasses.

She: I can't wear contacts, I have chronic dry eyes... glasses are my accessories, I want it.

He: No..no..no...

She: Hmm...you said your xbox live account expired, you needed to get a new one? Hmmm..no to that, you have way too many games, why can't you just play other games that don't require a live account..

He: What? No way!

She: What? It's the same logic...you like games, I like accessories...

He: It's not the same.

She: Hey, you know how you have have PS3, wii, Xbox 360? You don't need all three consoles and plus you also play games on your computer....why don't you sell a few of your consoles...

He: It's not the same...

She: same...

hairy incident

I put on my tank top and shorts and got to the gym. The gym was pretty empty today, probably because it's Sunday and/or Easter. Anyways, so decided to do some weights and lifted my arms up, yikes, hair...oops..oh my! I forgot to shave....haha...and then i looked at my legs, oh crap......! Good thing there weren't too many people around so I headed out to do something that didn't require me lifting my arms and found a treadmill in the corner where I can hide my hairy legs. I drove all the way to the gym, not gonna let some unwanted hair prevent me getting a good workout. Unwanted hair is so annoying....I wish our society would think that hairy legs or hairy underarm is attractive, then no need to wax or shave....
