Snacks need not be difficult to prepare.
Fresh fruit is one such treat — ready-made for your enjoyment and rich for the senses. Think of crunching into a Granny Smith apple, biting down on a succulent mango, gobbling a handful of raspberries or wiping peach juice from a loved one's chin. Mmm.
Aim for fruit that's in season. Choose locally produced, where available. Farmers' markets are great if you're interested in super-fresh, and in minimizing your carbon footprint.
Be sure to pack fruit carefully for the trip home. Keep it away from tins and other sharp-edged items. Upon arrival, store your treasures in a cool area, perhaps in the crisper of the refrigerator.
I keep a wire basket of apples on the dining room table. I like my fruit visible and at hand. Moreover, it makes for attractive decoration.
And edible decorations are tops in my book. :-)
