Granadilla

Hope you're having a great Saturday!  L is home from school for reading week, it's great to have her.
She rents a house with a bunch of friends at school, one of them is her boyfriend.  He made her heart shaped eggs with toast for a Valentine's Day breakfast and followed up with Hershey chocolate kisses.  Isn't that sweet?  I think I'm more thrilled than she is as she reports that she was very busy (with exams) and tired at the time although she did appreciate his efforts! 


 I have a fruit that is new to me to share with you today.


I saw this fruit at the grocery store, granadillas from Columbia and decided to try it. It's related to the passion fruit which I haven't had either. It has a sweet, crunchy, tangy taste.



This is what it looks like cut open, you can just eat it with a tablespoon, seeds and all:



Have you tried these before?

  10. Hi Christine
    Firstly I want to thank you for always being one of the first people to comment on my blog post....you are a dear friend.

    It's great to hear your daughter has a lovely boyfriend.

    We have granadilla's here in Australia and I don't eat them often but I do enjoy them when I do.

    Be well my friend.
