I used to eat wild strawberries as a kid...they grew in the outfield, which was the position I always got assigned. I may not have paid too much attention to the game.

LOL! I remember the same thing about playing softball when I was little...I can't catch worth doodley squat, so I'd always get put wayyyyyy out where it wasn't likely a ball would ever make it. I can remember picking strawberries and sorta vaguely being aware that a game was going on.

And I know what you mean about wild apples. There are several up in a meadow above my Dad's...not sweet, but GOSH they're good! We used to sit up there and just eat them one after another, still warm from the sun. Took about half a dozen to make up as much fruit as a normal store bought type.

Yeah, I wasn't too much of a ballplayer. But I didn't know there was anyone else who ate strawberries while playing outfield!

I like these diet threads, they really get emotional ;-)
