Doing right by your produce

I like to arrange lemons and oranges in a glass trifle bowl and set it in the middle of my dining room table.

And while I know lemons have a multitude of uses, I buy them because they are pretty in a glass bowl.

Of course, when you buy produce for artistic value, its going to turn on your eventually. It will start to get green and fuzzy and smelly.

No good at all.

My friend Kristin is a fantastic cook. She always has a beautiful arrangement of fresh produce sitting out on her kitchen counter.

 

Kristin's produce never molds.

The difference between Kristin's produce arrangement and mine is that she didnt set it out for artistic reasons.

She set it out to actually use it.

I have a bowl I set my fruits in. Sometimes I don't get to eat them because I forget and they go bad. I hate throwing any kind of food away!
Sliced lemons and limes do make a great centerpiece though. And so inexpensive!
