You know when there is a bowl of peanut M&M's on the table and you can't keep your hands out of it. Just one more. Okay, a red and a green and then I am done....maybe. Sometimes I put the holiday variety in a vintage looking jar with a lid to impede fluid movement from hand to mouth. It doesn't work.
What a lovely thing to have a big bowl of ground cherries on the counter! Related to the gooseberry family they are sweet and pineapple-y when they burst in your mouth. When you can find them at your local market you must buy a pint.
Though many savy cooks will make preserves I just eat them. Pulling off the husk, like shelling a peanut, is satisfying. Fluid hand to mouth movement. Less calories. No fat. Vitamins.
Almost like popping M&M's.
Were these at our local market? If they were, I sure missed them. I'll try anything that is like candy.
ReplyDeleteMary from Ferndell Farms. I think they'd be even better dipped in chocolate. Hey, I didn't think of it - it's a Spanish thing...
ReplyDeleteYou didn't tell me that they were sweet. I thought they were some sort of weird vegetable thing. I think you did that on purpose, more for you!
