Orange You Glad I Didn't Say Kiwi?


You know, vitamin C is awesome, but I am pretty done with citrus right about now. The limes for my cocktails can stay, of course, but I'm ready to move on to berries and cherries and those fabulous pre-summer California strawberries that should start popping up any day now. And if our CSA delivers one more sustainably delicious kiwi, I might explode. I finally dealt with the overwhelming pile of kiwis this week by slicing them and throwing them into a pitcher of water, inspired by the fruit infused water at my office. The cherry blossoms in bloom bode well for the change of seasons and produce--so tell me, what spring fruit are you most looking forward to?

I hate kiwis (the fruit, not the people from New Zealand). They have a weird texture, and I have yet to find a single recipe for them that doesn't involve some sort of parfait or other lame way to just slice or dice them and serve them raw.

I did make a totally delicious kiwi lime sorbet-and they're so good for you! I don't mind one occasionally, but I keep getting a giant pile of them each and every week. I don't understand why kiwi season seems to be so damn long and other delicious seasons so very brief.

Right now I too am sick of the apples, kiwi, and citrus from my CSA... but they are not eggplant so I keep on eating them (smoothies here I come!)

I would kill for some fresh berries--strawberries, black/red/marion berries, heck I'd even settle for my least favorite berry--the blue berry.

It is a good thing that I have a blender, or much of this fruit I get would go to waste... instead it goes to my waist instead :)

The only local fruit we have in Jersey for the next few months is the apples they holed up from last year's crop. I'll take anything fresh at this point ;)
