Of course, I didn't know it was the last thing I expected to see until I saw it!<br /><br />As far as sugar is concerned, everything is relative. It actually seems like a fairly innocuous substance compared with high-fructose corn syrup, which has all the negatives of sugar--only more so. I have yet to hear anything positive about it and try to avoid the stuff as much as I can.<br /><br />Ceil: To add to your list, I think the brown roots in the front left corner of the truck are taro roots. There is another kind of root next to them that's the same color but a different shape, but I'm not sure what it is. The green fruits under the watermelon wedge look like chayote squash, which is also very common in the Mexican markets around here.Rakshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280365011937595321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988299562536912229.post-23462916937380106902010-04-02T07:28:42.033-07:002010-04-02T07:28:42.033-07:00Green peppers, bananas, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, ...Green peppers, bananas, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, two or three different kinds of melon, radishes, carrots, cabbages, something that looks like Jerusalem artichoke but probably isn't, maybe kumquats...<br /><br />I just love the first photo. We could use it in the Paris underground.<br /><br />Sugar is bad, huh? <br /><br />Happy Easter!cieldequimperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04541298876304462514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988299562536912229.post-70686839259328520312010-04-01T18:10:48.796-07:002010-04-01T18:10:48.796-07:00Great post as always, Lee!

Yes, the "number one" photo leaves little doubt as to what it means! And it is hard to imagine working in that kind of heat! You do paint a very vivid picture with both your photos and your words. Thanks for the latest look at Jamaica! Hope you have a great weekend!<br /><br />SylviaSylvia Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484577678585907669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988299562536912229.post-86104142974864084332010-04-01T17:11:20.785-07:002010-04-01T17:11:20.785-07:00Great post!

Lots of people do it, and I can't believe that as a teenager I had little problem with those temperatures, but I sure do now. Anyway you caught a great look and a great setting.<br /><br />As for photo (do I dare say) Number One? I should have had a sign that that here today. I came back from the post office, and a guy was just sauntering out from behind the building pretending he wasn't up to anything but sightseeing, carrying a bag maybe with a can of beer in it. That IS why the duck around the corner here. When you gotta go, you gotta go, but at least this town is provided with a number of bathrooms, and I sure wish they would not prefer my landlord's deck.<br /><br />Nice looking fruit and veg on the truck.tapirgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098235462073493603noreply@blogger.com
