Day 6: The Secret Love Affairs of Fruits and Vegetables

Intertwined carrots in a loving embrace. Natural love!

When I was younger, my grandma was in love with soap operas and watched them all day long.  Guiding light, General Hospital, The Young and The Restless (this last one I am referencing me, not the soap).

6 days into my raw food cleanse, spending all day at home with the fruits and veggies is making me stir fry crazy. 

I picture what their lives must be like, being cooped up in the cold fridge all day. I am scripting aproduce daytime drama.
