I am trying to substitute

Donuts, cookies, cupcakes (mini cakes, so they must be better for you than cakes, right?) are being replaced in my diet by more fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds. Found this graphic, extolling the virtues of fruit in a healthy diet. As I was reading through it, all I could think is "rum, tequila, ice, blender". Now I'm going to find a graphic extolling the virtues of rum and tequila.

    I hear rum and cream of coconut with some pineapple juice is real good for you if you put it in a blender with some ice and puree.Sounds healthy too me.

    Okra isn't a fruit, darlin', and it doesn't go well with either rum or tequila. However, I will admit to a fried okra addiction. I made a mess of fried okra for lunch today and by the time I had it all cooked, the bowl had about 20 okras left in it.

    I had a big ol' plate full for dinner earlier in the week.
    Okra is too a fruit. Same family as a tomato.

    stevierayv, this is nothing compared to his "the bubblewand is a condom on a stick" argument.

    It's true, man, I read it on the internet or in the newspaper or something.
    Miss Lisa fried me up a bunch of it for dinner last week. No meat, no other vegetables, just fried okra.
    It was great.

    Just remember, Angel: chocolate is a vegetable. That's my story, anyway.
