Oh My Lucky Starfruit

Yesterday I picked up a Starfruit at the supermarket because I never had one & I wasn't even sure how to eat one. Well, I looked it up online & all I can say is, I can't wait to get some more today!!! They are delicious & if you never had one before you must try it. They're not too sweet but not too tart, and a whole lot of exotic!!

They are healthy, only 30 cals per fruit & full of antioxidants. When ripe, it is mostly bright yellow with light tinges of green.

Just wash. Hold it vertically (not shown above) to trim & remove the outer brown edges.
Then lay it on its side as in the above pic & cut crosswise into star shapes. A perfect little treat last night. All that's missing here is a nice glass of crisp white wine.

Friday's Odds & Ends

Hi all! Took a day off yesterday, from work & blogging, and headed over to my best friend's house for a few hours. There's this fun thing we do now where we always seem to bring something over for the other one to try & the hostess also usually has a new drink to try. So, I brought over some Omaha Steak burgers for her to put in her freezer & she had some of these awesome grapefruit margaritas for me. She made them with Stirrings drink mix, which is popular around this way, and tequila & some lime. They were so refreshing. I didn't have my camera on me, a blogging shame, so she used her Iphone. I love the way the drinks match the chairs we were lounging in.



Then, she had me try some of these & I'm so glad because I normally don't stop to check these kinds of mixes out. Too many are loaded with sugar & salt so I don't bother. But I fell in love with these.























They are from Mareblu Naturals. She got 'em at Marshalls but they can be bought online which I am about to do now. I can't tell you how delicious they were, little clusters of pistachio and pumpkin seeds, two of my favorites, with just a touch of sweetness. Check 'em out here if you're interested.

And for my Friday Foto here is my little Batman. To the batmobile let's go!!!!!!!!













Have a great weekend everyone.
