Eat Something Good

Lately, I’ve been into canned vegetables and fruits.  I’m not sure what it is.  I crave the super tender vegetables (the good ones aren’t too mushy) with a good amount of salt.  We’ve been liking carrots especially.  We also love green beans especially french style.  That’s when they cut them lengthwise into like a julienne.  [...]
