Also, shipped in during these winter months, small watermelons that are the size of cantalope or honey dews. Dark green, deliciously sweet and juicy inside with far fewer seeds. At $5.00 a piece, I still love them, though I love them better on sale.

Heres another one I like to do with pasta. Have y'all seen broccolini? Smaller, thinner than the usual, thinner than most aspagarus. Does anyone else here cook or go to the market except us three?

Fuji Apples are about the best apples going I think. Crisp, sweet, juicy apples they are! But I wouldn't consider them to be new really. I've been eating Fuji's for about 5 or 6 years now.
When it comes to oranges, I just buy the biggest Navel oranges they have. Don't know if they're really new, but they've got some gigantic ones now.

I love those Kev, just don't want loads of Pants' quaco on 'em.
I love talking about food, I did the gourmet thing for a long, long, time. The entertaining and all that jazz. Now, I don't have such opportunities anymore. Such is life, though I still love good food.

My best fruit-based dessert is a Nectarine-topped Ginger Marscapone Tart with Peach Glaze thaT I make summers.
In the winter, I do excellent Baked Apples with Golden Raisens and Caramel Gelato or Poached Pears with Ginger Gelato and Hard Sauce. I also endlessly rely on Peach Melba, the forever monarch of fruit-based desserts...

I voted "Other, ellucidate." Though it is really elucidate. Hooves not available, so I'll mention that.
My other fruit is "$9 a gallon orange juice." Fresh right off the farm on Davie Rd, it's gone up from $6.50 during the last month or two.

And DD, blood oranges are the strangest thing to me, I can't hang with them, they are just so deep colored and odd. Something we do have in the early winter that comes up from Florida is "Rubies", the deep red-not pink grapefruit, now those I love, but they're not as blood colored as the oranges, and we only have them for a short time.

I feel a desire welling up y'all, I can't fight it any longer, I can't sustain. I'm just going to have to succumb to it and let it go . . . in the freezer are three little pints of unopened Haagen Dazs, one Vanilla Bean, one Strawberry, and one Coffee.
I'm going to have to fix a small bowl with a scoop of each. All this good food talk has made me abandon my senses. I love Haagen Dazs, (really love Chunky Monkey too.) I'm gonna be really decadent and fix a small brandy glass of Tia Maria to go with it. Wish you could join me. Later.
