After I wrote the post on lycopene earlier this week, I was in the mood for some pink grapefruit. I found a huge organic pink grapefruit at my favorite health food store, Westerly’s Natural Market, and decided to make a quick fruit salad for breakfast on Wednesday.

I spent my first 4th of July in New York, and it was a great night. Luckily, one of our friends has a nice apartment on the Upper West Side where we could see fireworks from her window. There were a few buildings that blocked some of the view, but it was still so nice [...]
