Hi everyone!

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving, and that things have gone well for you the past few months! I've been too sick to post; sorry about that. But I've participated when I could around the boards. I see many other people have contributed. That's fabulous! It's wonderful to see a team effort. I'll give my shot at it this week.

**Great fruit salad tip: Take the sale oranges, mango, papaya, and dice them up. Add a dressing of equal parts lime/lemon juice and honey or agave or whatever sweetener you like. Add in a bit of torn mint leaves if you have them handy. It makes your fruit salad seem elegant. And for anyone who likes the flavor of a mojito, the dressing with the mint leaves has that kind of flavor. Delicious!

Thanks for this weeks ad hi-lites and the fruit salad tip! Way cool!

[Betsy33]

Sure, ocean_brez! My pleasure! Another tip I like:

Take several pounds of the the sale onions, chop them up, and put them in a freezer bag. They keep for months, and you only have to do the tear-inducing cutting once! Works well in just about any cooking recipe. And, it's cheaper than buying bags of frozen chopped onions, too. :-D

Ya know... I freeze garlic and peppers all of the time and I never thought of freezing onions. Guess what I will be doing sometime this week!

I am teaching DD10 how to cook and she cut her very first onion last week. She did good until the onion started burning her eyes so bad that she started crying for real. I felt so bad! :sad: But... being the trooper that she is, she finished cutting it all and then after taking a break, helped me cut the rest of the vegetables too.

I think it's wonderful that you are teaching her to cook, and good for her for being a trooper!

Happy weekend!

I went to Food 4 Less tonight, and I scored some great bargains in the fruit and veggie department.

For about $11, I got:

8 avocado @ 4/$1
6 mango @ 3/99c
8 Washington Fuji apples @ 57c/lb (my favorite!)
2 celery @ 2/98c
1 pineapple @ 76c/lb
2 1bs carrots @ 4/$1
3 cucumbers @ 3/99c

I feel like I'm forgetting something, but you get the drift! Also, FYI, their regular price on 1 lb of baking soda is 58c, which is way less than Vons or Ralphs! I was happy to find that out.

Anyway, check out Food 4 Less this week if you need great produce deals!
