- to resolve to do sth: to make a firm decision to do sth
I resolved to eat better, so I could feel better.
- to make a beeline for sth: to go directly a particular place or person without stopping anywhere
- produce department : fresh fruit or vegetable
I made a beeline for the produce department.

- to look picked over: in a fruit box, the picked over fruits are remained after other best one was picked by earlier people
They looked picked over

I saw some organic tomatoes
