The smaller watermelons In SoCal are called "Dulcinea"...no seeds! Spectacular! They have a "season" also

Timm, what a lovely sounding name! They sound like those we have here. So good.

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.

Grits: Dulcinea....from " Man of La Mancha"...one of my faves!

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.

Hmmm... I can't compete with the Haagen Daz, but I DO have an ice cold beer in my hand right now. That'll have to do.

I have a glass of fermented crushed grapes in my hand....does that count as fruit???

Well I guess that's ok. Just don't eat the avocados.
