I have never been one for eating spinach. Yes I know it is good for me but to me it is extremely boring and tasteless unless it has some flavor added to it. So this is a great idea and I am going to try it. I will be putting spinach on my shopping list. I will probably have to build up to it and have way more banana etc in it than spinach but I will give it a go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-47572097786590435422007-10-06T10:46:00.000-04:002007-10-06T10:46:00.000-04:00i will love to pick fruits like that, well at leas...i will love to pick fruits like that, well at least i have a papaya tree and i can pick some fruit. that spinach looks awesome!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-74341046036529314252007-10-05T23:45:00.000-04:002007-10-05T23:45:00.000-04:00so are so totally inspiring me to get to the farme...so are so totally inspiring me to get to the farmer's market tomorrow morning! i would love to go fruit picking, but i have no idea whether that's something one can do where i am. i should look into it, for sure, because your raspberry and apple picking are making me jealous. and i love the $5 box of peaches. amazing! i also love spinach in my smoothies. i toss it into even fruit smoothies, and you can't even taste it. makes you feel virtuous indeed.TBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644211871681782561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-5423948928231984942007-10-05T00:19:00.000-04:002007-10-05T00:19:00.000-04:00Girl- you got the goods on the produce there.

There is a wonderful farmer market here in Bloomington, Indiana; we so fortunate to have local & organic produce several times a week.

I use natural daylight as often as possible, either by a window or outside on the deck (hence, you can see my backyard in almost all my food photos!) This is another reason I'm mourning the passing of summer- less daylight! <BR/>I'm currently working on making a DIY lightbox for indoor photography, though.

Food photography has become a really satisfying hobby for me.<BR/>Unfortunately, I don't own an SLR- my photos all come from an old point & shoot Canon camera. Currently, I'm trying to save money for an SLR with a good lens. One way I've found to look for the best cameras is to scout Flickr for my favorite food photos to see what cameras they've used. Flickr is useful, because each photo is embedded with information on the camera that took it, and even the lens and settings.bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-91919447117408751662007-10-03T23:22:00.000-04:002007-10-03T23:22:00.000-04:00I'm not sure, but I thought you once posted on the...I'm not sure, but I thought you once posted on the camera specs you use...if you haven't, could you?<BR/><BR/>what camera type/model do you use, and what lens?

So being the health conscious, environmentalist I am- it all works. Plus I love having a direct relationship with the farmers (beat that supermarkets!)<BR/><BR/>I too love the "reject" produce. I buy cheap apples every saturday from the "cosmetically unpleasing" bin and I get seconds tomatoes, which are all heirloom. It usually costs me 50 cents (give or take) for my tomatoes for the week (and I eat at least one a day). But wow those peaches- what a steal! <BR/><BR/>As for picking produce- in general I go for the medium size because I'm convinced they have the best flavor. Too big just makes me think supermarket pumped with steroids!<BR/><BR/>Ah the green smoothie, so great! I encourage you to try kale, chard or other greens too.<BR/><BR/>Great Post- but don't say goodbye to summer yet- I'm not ready!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753640845806353841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-83347897051350131622007-10-03T18:55:00.000-04:002007-10-03T18:55:00.000-04:00I'm in love with green smoothies!

I had been meaning to get some fresh local peaches, too and never got around to it. :(<BR/><BR/>As for the produce - I always try and pick the ones that are funny shaped or ones that I think other people would normally pass by. Especially if they are like apples and have a variation of colors on them and aren't all fakey and uniform. I am convinced that those are the sad veggies/fruits and they need to be loved. That and they were funny shaped so that I would know to pick them because they are clearly the most tasty.SaraJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134629427434209960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32480106.post-78091631110281857332007-10-03T13:51:00.000-04:002007-10-03T13:51:00.000-04:00Lucky find on those peaches Bazu.
