I wonder how many people are with Terry?

I have to remind myself frequently to eat an adequate amount of
non-starchy vegetables and I seldom have a craving for any of
them. Asparagus perhaps, since I cannot bring myself to afford
it during a good deal of the year and cauliflower, which goes
well with the common sauces. French beans are another vegetable
that rather like.

I find also that I mostly eat fruit at breakfast time: banana
and grapefruit or melons mostly. I also have a glass of orange
juice at breakfast so I suppose I am eating an "adequate" amount
of fruit. One of the problems I find with fruit, call me lazy if
you wish, is that you usually can't eat the whole thing and you
have to find a place to dispose of a core or rind if you are
eating it outside a meal. A banana is not bad, non-messy and you
can remove the peel at once and hold the fruit especially if you
like them barely ripe as I do. The seedless grape is about the
only other fruit that I like eating between meals. Of course, if
you can find wild berries and eat them then and there, they are
also good but store-bought berries usually require extra sugar
for my taste.
