In my corner of the woods, you definitely could! Not to mention how much you could earn selling the cut-up packaged fruit to people who will quickly buy it! Watermelon, cantaloupe, mango... yes!

When I get a chance to go back to California I always stop at the little carts that sell fruit cups - The guy will chop it up while you watch and he tops it with a squeeze of lemon juice and a season salt called "Tajin".

For about 5 dollars you get a quart sized container with what is in season - usually watermelon, cantaloupe, mango, jicama, and pineapple.

Tajin is a lemon/salt/chili seasoning salt that goes really well with the tastes of the fruit.

As crazy as it sounds? Tajin is really good, sprinkled on a frozen fruit bar!!!

Sounds yummy! And because he cuts it up there I bet you could say, "No mango, please, I'm allergic," right?

Yep, you can get anything you want, anyway you want!

I was at the supermarket yesterday. They have a counter where smoothies are made to order and pots of wheat grass were lined up along the edge of the counter. You know exactly what my thought was: why do they have kitty grass at the smoothie bar? (apparently wheat grass is an ingredient in smoothies)

Missing my girl today, kitty grass was one of her favorite treats. I need to go to the shelter where I adopted her, and pet some of the current kitty residents.

Those sound like good ideas, Elyse! (Smoothies with kitty grass, and visiting Cassie's shelter to pet kitties.)

I'm not sure how many PTers live down in the Gulf Coast area, but I'm thinking and praying for everyone who might be affected by the hurricane this weekend. Please be safe! (((HUGS)))

Prayers and good wishes from us, too...

Still praying for Texas and Louisiana. Also praying for Florida and for the people affected by the fires out west. There was a story on the local news about a group that went to Texas with supplies and brought dogs and cats from a shelter there back to PAWS Chicago, so the Texas shelter would have space for more animals who need care. (The animals they brought had already been in shelters, not displaced by the storms.) There were 4 separate vans bringing them back and they all arrived safely. They have to be medically cleared and microchipped, and they should be ready for adoption soon.
