Hump Day Poll: Newsworthy?

source If that brings you warm fuzzies, you're welcome.  If you don't know what the heck that's referring to, then you might be too young to understand most of my references here and should probably brush up !   We are going on year 9 of not having watched the news.  I remember the last time we went to Kauai in 2016 (holy crap, that makes me want to cry) we didn't watch the news once and couldn't believe how much happier we were.  We decided to see how long we could push it and here we are almost a decade later.   It's enough to be inundated on internet sites on the hourly with the latest dumpster fire lit that should have nothing to do with the kind of stuff it's reporting but to voluntarily watch the news just is not something I have in me.  I rarely watch live tv because of the commercials (well more commercials) but I left it on once a few years ago when a show I was watching went live and the news came on right after.  I wasn't watchin...

Yay or Nay?



Every year, just in time for you to start getting seasonal yearnings for more fruits and veggies, they release the "dirty dozen" list of produce that has the most pesticides.  While I know organic produce still uses some deterrents, I do try to buy organic when possible for produce and as much as possible for everything else too.  From eggs to meat to baking ingredients. 

So, that got me wondering...

Do you buy organic?  If not, do you wash your produce with a solution or run it under water and hope for the best?

  1. I try to get the organic green lettuce for my salad and always wash it really well, with at least 2 good rinses and soaks, in the salad spinner. Even some of the pre-washed lettuce I will put an extra rinse on myself because I don't trust machines to do that properly.

  2. Regular produce with a water rinse. I'm a loner Dottie, a rebel.

  3. Generally, I'm too cheap to buy organic. So many of my fruits and veggies need to be imported and by the time you put on the premium for organic (if it is available) I can't justify the expense. And when it comes to washing, I'm a run it under the water and hope for the best kind of girl. A little dirt can do you good. :)

  4. It depends on the fruit if I buy organic or not. I rinse everything anyway... but then wonder what's in the water. LOL
