To Refrigerate or not to Refrigerate
So this morning I was really wondering what fruits are ACTUALLY supposed to be refrigerated and which aren't. I was always taught just to refrigerate berries, but leave apples, oranges, melon, and bananas on the counter. Well, after mixed reviews online, I came to the conclusion that refrigerating apples and oranges can lengthen their life, but it may cost a bit of taste. Fruits like melons, mangoes, kiwis, etc. (ones that ripen when home from the store) can be left on the counter until they are ripe, then you can place them in the fridge for longer life. So with that said, I guess I will try sticking my apples and oranges in the fridge. Funny, I always thought the fridge made them ripen more quickly, but I was wrong!

Karin! I love your blog, I have read every single entry :) I just started one myself, so it's been an adventure learning how to use it. I want to comment on all your posts, they are so great! I have 3 overripe bananas, which I will freeze thanks to your advice. About the Dove evolution video - I was SHOCKED when I saw it a few months ago...crazy how much airbrushing goes into advertising these days. Natural beauty is the only lasting beauty! And you are spot on about women needing fat to ensure the myelin sheath is sufficient to fire action potentials and keep our neurons healthy. Love you and miss you!!
