But first… a story!
(Or if you just want the gift giving guide, you can get right to it here.)
I have a goofy relationship with holidays. On the surface it doesn’t seem weird at all. I love them! I adore Halloween and Thanksgiving and Hanukkah and Christmas (I grew up in a joint household although [...]

As summer is sneaking up on me, I’m starting to think about various fruit I would love to try. My fruit forays have slowed in the last year, but believe me, I still think about finding those elusive little gems that hide in the most unassuming spots. Here are a few that I’ve [...]

Fruit Ninja!

Ahem…
Is this thing on? Testing. Testing. 1-2-3.
Right. So…. I have had my wrist slapped ever-so politely by a few people lately about the apparent abandonment of the old fruit blog. So I am here to make it right. I have tons and tons of excuses. But seriously, SERIOUSLY – who cares? I’m here now. Let’s [...]

10 Ways to Cook with a Tangerine
February 27th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Citrus, Maven, Tangerine, mandarin, orange, recipe, tangelo
I am seriously in love with tangerines. I know they are all actually mandarins, but for some reason using that word seems pretentious to me, somewhat akin to appositely using the word “apposite” in a sentence outside of language arts class. Anyway, I grew up calling them all tangerines and so it will be. As it [...]
10 Ways to Cook With a Lime
February 15th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Citrus, Lime, Maven, recipe
In my world, where I am regularly tasting fruit I’ve never seen before and may or may not know how to pronounce (I’m talking to you Carambola and Rambutan), sometimes I can get bored with the simple pleasures that are easy to access. Limes are one of those basic fruits that I tend to take [...]

There is something sexy, enticing and adventurous about fruit. In some ways trying a new fruit is like falling in love. It requires abandon and risk.

Twelve Days of Fruit
December 23rd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Maven
In honor of Christmas carols, I thought I would do a little something different today. Though really I shouldn’t because the back log of fruit at my house is making my family very grumpy and every time the refrigerator opens they are certain to tell me that something is fermenting in there. Not that I [...]

November 23rd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Maven
There are children around us who are chronically hungry and we can do something about it for a few of them. I am participating in a fundraiser for the San Diego Food Bank’s Food 4 Kids Packpack Program. (wow – that’s quite a title). The program was launched in 2007 to provide food to get [...]
