Our California home has so many trees growing fruit! Not just crabapples like we'd get up north but actual fruit that people would eat and pay money for in the supermarket. Up north, we had fruit that people would invent recipes for to be used only in the dead of winter when all the good supplies were gone. (Where do you think "sour cream-raisin pie" came from?) Here we have lemons, kumquats, and assorted fruit we can't identify. Several people told us these are Asian pears. Apparently, they're worth more than our poor, unsold Minnesota house is.

Actual fruit, just growing in your backyard? What a magical, wonderous land SoCal must be!
ReplyDelete"Sour cream-raisin pie" may be the most disgusting dish name I've ever heard.
