Grilling and Fruit!

I had a great weekend in Toronto.  Shopping, visiting with friends, very enjoyable.  I came home late Saturday and Sunday was spent working at home.  Greenhouse and garden, as well as some hilling of the raspberries.  I even have a slight sunburn.  No complaints.

2 weeks ago I went to Costco and scored HUGE!  I've been eyeing the George Forman 360 grill in Canadian Tire, but it's $150, and I couldn't justify it.  Well, Costco had it for $62!!  I couldn't resist, HAD to buy it.  I still have got it out of the box, and I'm wondering if you could fill me in on the great things you do with your grill?  I can't wait to get this baby cooking!  It may not be until the fall...I see my free time quickly slipping away.

Have you ever had a dragon fruit?  A passion fruit?  I love them both.  I bought some this weekend in China town, just because it had been awhile.  My first experience with both were while The Shepherd and I were in Thailand.  Delicious.

The dragon fruit.

To eat, slice in half. 

Think of the seeds like a kiwi.  Take a spoon, and just slip it between the skin and fruit, slide it around, and you'll get a nice chunk out of it.  Slice it up in squares.

The passion fruit.

The skin is really leathery, so you'll need a good knife to cut through it.  The inside is kind of ugly and soupy.  Just scoop the inside out and eat, it's SOOO good.

I put the dragon fruit and passion fruit in a container with some mango...you know what I'll be eating Monday!

A few shots of the garden on Sunday.

Have a great day!  Regular posts to resume tomorrow!
