I forgot I had a blog

Yep, we're back.  Mostly just to show you this:

Never really got into John Legend, but add some Luda, and wassssup babe?  You have nice eyes.  I'm Kait.

Oh and I never ate that jicama (sorry, couldn't wrap my head around the recipes that I was reading? You are a crunchy, juicy root I am supposed to eat raw? What?)  And Stop and Shop doesn't have an *exciting* food section like Hannaford.  Who knew my central Maine grocery store would have more exotic offerings than the Irish Riviera?  I'll try new things later.

Pepino

In case no one else knows what this is: http://nutsaboutfruit.blogspot.com/2010/04/get-to-know-mellow-pepino-melon.html

So I tried that pepino.  Verdict?  It's very blah tasting... maybe mine's not particularly ripe.  However, the purple streaks are supposed to "itensify" when it ripens, and mine's pretty purpley right now.  It tastes like a bland melon with a bit of pear consistency.  Apparently pepino means cucumber in Spanish.  Makes sense.. very mild flavor.  Also, despite looking like a melon, it's a nightshade, and I can see the comparison to eggplant in texture.

Here's hoping for a more exciting jicama review - which, considering it goes well with rice and beans and mexican plates, I should love.
