Yep…day five found us at the “Happiest Place on Earth.” Or not. I mean, where was the neverending and free supply of moist chocolate cake, hot fudge sundaes with fresh whipped cream, and jalapeno bacon cheese?

And finally, I bring you some photos of things that are truly on-course…Dragon Fruit! By now, the end of day four, I think my relatives had accepted my brand of photo-taking crazy, because they even got in on it at an exotic-fruits market. A few of them took it upon themselves to help me arrange these naturally gorgeous Dragon Fruit for a photo-op. It was cute! (And then I rearranged their arrangement when they weren’t looking, because I’m extra crazy.) While starting this Web site, one of the few things that came easiest was the tagline, “Asian Aisle…where the familiar meets the not-so-familiar.” I knew that I wanted to feature both things, in terms of Asian items, and I feel especially delighted when it’s the latter for many of you. And fortunately, another good thing that has come from this blog is that a lot of you dear readers have introduced items to me, as well…
I’ll return to my above tease later in this post, because I’ve actually previously mentioned these type of mangoes. (Manila Mangoes are from Mexico.)
A box of Sweet Tamarind from Thailand.
Don’t you appreciate it when you get talked into giving something another chance, and that second time around turns out great?
Such was the case with reader Slammie and Hachiya persimmons. In a response to my Fuyu Persimmons post, Slammie had said she liked Hachiya persimmons more than Fuyu ones. I had eaten the former once before, not knowing that Hachiyas should be consumed when they’re very soft, and so got a mouthful of bitterness. But I decided to try them again, wondering how they compare to Fuyus. |
