I'm happy to miss fruit most of the time (too much makes me feel groggy) although I have an annual addiction to strawberries and cherries. I think about 1/3 of my food spending last summer went on these two plants. I've missed the boat this year, but maybe next March / April I'll try living off meat and greens for a few weeks.
