The Difference Between Fruit and "fruit"

Tonight I went out to dinner with a friend.  We were originally going to go to my new favorite restaurant that serves all organic food with homegrown ingredients.  But out plans took a detour and we ended up eating at Country Kitchen.  Wow!  I never noticed the difference before between good, wholesome food and crap. 

I stayed on the healthy side of things and settled for a dry grilled chicken breast with a side of "fruit" as opposed to the ever so tempting fries.  Well, the "fruit" I got was canned fruit cocktail of some kind.  At the other place, I get a nice serving of organic fruits including a banana, strawberries, pineapple, and melon.  Instead, I got a sugary concoction of flavorless fruit.  Nonetheless, I am still proud of my meal choice and having had passed up the mouth watering burgers.

Today at the DQ, a portion of the proceeds from all Blizzards goes to the children's hospital.  Boy oh boy, a blizzard was calling my name All. Day. Long.  I suggested a DQ treat after our dinner tonight, but we opted not to go afterall.  Its a good thing, I guess.

Its imperative that I get to the grocery store.  I'm all out of my fresh fruits and the season is coming to an end here pretty darn quick.
