aren't these adorable?

ever heard of chilean lemon pears? i hadn't. i was picking out some nectarines at the grocery store and in the corner of the nectarine/plum/peach display (is display even the right word? you know what i'm talking about) was a little bunch of chilean lemon pears. adorable.

pears and lemons make great looking babies, but honestly, they taste a little weird. they have the texture of papa pear, but the zing of mama lemon. my sour/spicy/tart-loving husband enjoyed them. i guess you need the right taste buds to appreciate them. i just liked looking at them in the fruit bowl.

(oops. this one snuck in. it still works under this post title, right?)
