Les Bonnes Choses

Today Rebecca went grocery shopping. And like any nutritionist (and Alton Brown) would tell you to do, she shopped mostly along the periphery: the periphery of a grocery store is where you will find fruits & vegetables, breads, dairy, & meats; all the processed stuff is in the inner aisles. She went out on a limb and picked up a crazy looking dragonfruit, and a starfruit. Neat snack. Except, not. They sure look interesting, but at least here in Canada, in the middle of winter, they suck. The starfruit was okay, I suppose -- kinda tasted like mild pear or apple. The dragonfruit, on the other hand, had no discernable taste. I couldn't even tell if it was sweet. So while they may be good conversation pieces, keep them out of your fruit salad.

And that wraps up my produce review for this week. Tune in next week when I take on the kumquat!
