Got back from the grove. They're *very* cool there.

I had some fresh juice, and they seemed amenable to my rates... They didn't offer to pay me in fruit, but real folding money, and they *gave* me a nice jar of orange blossom honey. I'm going to be all over that on Saturday. :) You know how bears like honey, right?

I've had about a quart of OJ today already, and I'm a little worried that only juice mice be a bit acidic, so I'm going to do water until I get home. Tomorrow, it's going to be baby carrots and other raws... but no dressing.. that will be welcome. :)

mmmmmm... orange blossom hoooooneeeeeey...
I have, over the past year or so, become quite the honey connesseur. I just scraped up the last of my orange blossom honey the other day. Now I have opened a jar of clover honey. I also get alfalfa, wildflower, blueberry.... mmmmm. I put it in tea and once in a while I have it on toast ot hot tea biscuits for a treat - but I won't tell you about that until after the weekend - I wouldn't want to distract you :)

I like clover honey too... this is going in tea and over some tasty starchy toast, this weekend.

I'm strong, still...

I agree on the not sticking only with OJ for a fast.
Herbal teas can be wonderful. There are many that help to support the bodies detoxifying ways. They can also be yummy and energizing. For detoxifying, dandelion root is great. I also recommend fenugreek, licorice root, chamomile, alfalfa. Variety in drinkables helps greatly with the fasting.

hmm... I will try that... sticking with wawa and juice this time, though. :)

My Aunt's neighbor back in Nort' Cackalackey used to have a beehive. His bees collected pollen from the honeysuckles around his property during a certain time of the year. We'd always get a free jar when the time was right, and let me tell you it was the most delectable, heavenly honey I have ever tasted.

Damn, I love honey. Almost as much as I love puddin'.

My dad's cousin owns an orange grove in Tarpon (Tarpin?) Springs. Next time I go down I'm going to go check it out. Don't know what it's called.

Neat! It can be a lot of fun to tour, or at least get some juice! :)
