Dancing greens, feel the beet of the tangerine - 10 / 10 thread

[FrannyandZooey]

For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

in my convoluted emails did i completely fail to mention that i intenede to come?

no zippi you said you MAY come

a couple people have said they MAY come

I am not counting anyone who has said they MAY come

I MAY fly up in the air

I MAY get huffy about people not coming to eat cake with me

(I am just messing about, I am happy to eat cake with lots of veggers or one. Or none. I am just happy to eat cake, really)

lol at zippi.

but ROFl laughing at Franny.

I MAY eat

roasted veg...a red pepper, onion, portobello mushroom, sweet potato, cherry tomatoes

with purple sprouting broccolli, cauliflour and carrots

as i have started cooking it

but i just MAY
change my mind

am far too busy eating to notice disciples at feet

I also ate a chocolate orange cookie

I think I am making up for lost calories over weekend

Afternoon all

I have an important question... Where do you store your mangos? Fridge or fruit bowl? Which is better?

window sill

but with my track record I would do the opposite for best results [mango gloom]

are onions vegetables

and i read the other day when doing my college work that peas are actually fruit

yes onions are vegetables

and so are peas, you and yer fancy book larnin' zippi

If you go to the place we went to last time, you could parcel up pieces of cake for the absent ones

so do onions count and i shall find reference to peas as fruit

No no nooooo, peas can't be fruit. I neeeeeed them to count as a vegetable.

I have mango gloom also, Franny - it's been in the fridge for 5 days but hasn't ripened so it's back to sitting on the counter top. Def won't put it on the windowsill -it'd freeze!

my science is the new sex

OR, your illness may be down to your body throwing off all the bad now that you are eating better, so it is a good, streamlining sort of thing.
Like when people change to natural skin products and they flare up - it's a sort of detox, I suppose.

Zippi, that is quite unreadable.

i know it's sexy isn't it

hmm think I'L stick to domestic science...

dh is out so i have feasted on smoked mackerel with avacado, and mixed bean salad. And hte most divine chocolate brownies I have ever made...

Had home made leek soup for lunch, rasps and lychees.

OR it will never ripen in the fridge

put it in a paper bag if you are in a hurry, that helps

zippi that just means "the fruit of the pea plant" as in "the fruit of my loins". Nonsense are peas fruit, silly STUFF and NONSENSE. They are legumes I bet

yesyes onions count why would they not?

oh god aaaargh

well I am IGNORING THAT

they are legumes it says so

any fule kno a legume is a VEGETABLE

in english the word legume means fruit i think but in french it means more things

in french it means vegetable
oui c'est vrai

taunt us no more with this science-magick zippi. you will be talling us the earth goes round the sun next - pah

Zippi - you have made me feel quite old. There was a time when I understood that type of thing

FMF you certainly have had a feast. Sounds delicious.

Toot, I hope you are right. Am feeling much better today

look I think the key word here is "botanically"

peas are "botanically" a fruit

but bollocks are they really

in fact botanically = bollocks are they. QED.
