Day 24 All Hail The Simple Vegetable

Headed off to the local public market this morning and I am now the owner of about a thousand pounds of fresh, locally grown vegetables. I have to admit that I am excited. I have known for a long time that my diet was lacking in the vegetable department...but the question that dogged me was how to get it all in? I have decided that for now, I will buy jars of tasty sauce and then shall chop mucho vegetables and eat the sauce with veggies and rice. Calories count of course so it will be less rice and more vegetable. I would like to get 3-5 cups of veggies a day into my diet...impossible? No...very un-American? Yes. The farmer at the market who sold me three heads of cabbage for an incredible 1$ agreed with me that had one been living on pizza...there would not be enough German in that person to find a way to eat 3 heads of cabbage...and yet, I shall try. It may kill me dead..but I need a good vegetable boost. I will die healthy!
