A woman phoned her blonde neighbor man and said: "Close your curtains

To which the blonde man replied: "Well the joke's on all of you because I wasn't even at home yesterday".

Which fruits and vegetables have the most pesticide
residues?Organic produce is great — if it’s available and
affordable. But what if your grocery store doesn’t have the
organic produce you need? Or what if it’s too expensive?
In these cases, it’s important to know which “conventional” fruits and vegetables have the most pesticide
residues, and which have the least.
We call these two groups “The Dirty Dozen” and “The Clean Fifteen”.
Most contaminated: THE DIRTY DOZEN
FRUITS:
Peaches, Apples, Nectarines, Strawberries, Cherries,
Imported grapes, Pears
VEGETABLES:
Sweet bell peppers, Celery, Kale, Lettuce, Carrots
Least Contaminated: THE CLEAN FIFTEEN FRUITS:
Avocados, Pineapples, Mangoes, Kiwi, Papayas,
Watermelon, Grapefruit
VEGETABLES:
Onions, Sweet corn,Asparagus,Sweet peas,Cabbage,
Eggplant, Broccoli, Tomatoes, Sweet potatoes

Yesterday I ran 5 Miles. (LOL... Dude ran and I drove the golf cart.) down
to the road to the trash can and mailbox. Then paid bills on line. Bruiser slept
upstairs ALL day. Stayed nice, clouds gave us some shade. Hit 82º. Stayed cool
in the house. Kept a sweatshirt on. When we had the siding put on several years
ago they insulated the house really well and it's made such a difference.
I finally celebrated Martini Day with a dirty martini last night... I used
stuffed spicy chipotle olives. OMGOOOD!
Then dinner... spinach ravioli, pineapple teriyaki meatballs, diced tomato
sauce, artichoke hearts, garlic, shallot, olive oil, mushrooms, fresh basil...
First I sauteéd the refrigerated ravioli in olive oil until browned well. Set
aside.
I picked some of my fresh basil, put it in a glass of water, and cover it
with a plastic bag to make a greenhouse. Stays fresh for quite a while!
To the frying pan I added the chopped shallot, mushrooms, garlic, and
meatballs... sauté until shallot is soft and meatballs and mushrooms are browned.
Then I added in some chopped basil, the diced tomatoes in sauce... and
mixed it all up....
When plating I set some of the ravioli on top...
This was really
OMGOOOOD!!!! The Trader Joe's diced tomatoes in sauce are awesome! When the kids
were small and I'd put a bunch of "stuff" (leftover veggies, meats, rice,
pasta, etc) and add a sauce we'd call it "Pots-A-La-Goo".... LOL. They would
request it... never knowing what was going to be in it!
All I know. Happy Saturday. Nuff said. Ciao.
