grapefruit in a cup

Grapefruit is tasty, but it can be messy too. These days one of the ways I eat my grapefruit is from a cup!

These convenient little cups is packed with cup-up grapefruit (minus the chewy skin/pulp thingy) in grapefruit and white grape juice.

Yum.

box of lychee

My friend Joyce came and said that her sister had sent her a present. She would like me to open it with her because she knew I'd appreciate the present as much as she would.


It was a box of lychee from Taiwan!

The packaging was super old-school. My grandfather was a citrus fruit farmer, and there was always these super solid "fruit boxes" in the storage at his house.

Anyhow, this box of lychee brought back so many memories!

But this was not a regular box of fruit of lychee:


It was a cute-tiny-little box!

It had all the "markings" of a traditional Taiwanese fruit box... stamps, trademarks, inspection forms, columns to fill in... you name it. It was awesome!

And what exactly was inside?


Lychee candies!

These delicious little lychee candies were soft and delicious, and they tasted EXACTLY like fresh lychee fruit. Oh my.

Ahhh. Lychee...

cuties clementines

We had a wondeful holiday break! The few days off were mostly spent with our dogs and cats and around the house. I loved it!

Of course there was a lot of yummy food involved, some of which were these Cuties Clementines!



These are indeed really cute. Tiny little tangerines that are easy to peel and seedless. Can't beat that.


Some of the tangerines has a little sticker that reads "Happy Juicydays!" "Seedless Greetings!" or "Sweetest New Year!"

You may have guessed, I have been eating a lot of these little Cuties since the holidays, and thanks goodness again for California!
