Feb's Nibblefest Theme: "FRUITS AND VEGGIES"






Art by Nibblefest artist Jenny Luan Frye



"I ate no butcher's meat, 
lived chiefly on fruits, vegetables, and fish, 
and never drank a glass of spirits or wine 
until my wedding day. 
To this I attribute my continual good health, endurance, and an iron constitution."
~John James Audubon
