List your top 5 favorite fruits.

When it comes to fruits there are so many good ones that it is easy to get lost, especially if you visit the market without something to guide you.

Chances are if you’ve ever been produce shopping and didn’t have a plan or list then you know that lost feeling.

It often starts something like this. 

‘Ok, Fruit! What am I in the mood for?’  Or ‘Ok, What fruit sounds good today?’

Then the random swim through the ocean of fruits begins.  Later , after returning home you may have purchased some good fruit only to find out you forgot what you needed or wanted something different.

After becoming lost in the sea of natural sweets many times.  I learned that having a guide on the journey to the market was needed.  In this way I was sure to stay on course and to get back home with the items that would always be desired.

Now days, when I turn the corner at the market and see the expanse of produce with all the brillant reds, blues, yellow, greens spread out before me.  Planned for or not. With a list or without.  Successful navigation is achieved by remembering to stay on T.R.A.C.

Tomatoes

Raspberries

Apricots

Concord Grapes

Just like an explorer who has returned from a voyage.  You too, can bring home a treasure of fruits without getting lost in the sea.

Since the prompt today has asked for five faves.  Well. I will leave you now by making T.R.A.C.S.   S=Strawberries.
