The Exotic Fruit Breakfast Mothers' Day Extravaganza!

I went shopping with the girls yesterday for some last minute Mothers' Day items and we saw some exotic fruit.  If you're not familiar with these items, we have passion fruit on the left from New Zealand, dragon fruit from Vietnam, and kumkuats from somewhere else on Earth.  Ashley saw the dragon fruit and said, "Dad, that's the rare fruit on Fruit Ninja (an iPhone game).  Needless to say, we had to get it.  So this morning we surprised mom with some rare delicacies.  The dragon fruit was the best and the girls (and Tara) ate all of that.  They all tried the kumquats, but none except dad finished them.  They all tried the passion fruit, but didn't finish because it looked like dozens of fish eyeballs when you crack them open, they taste good though.  I liked them all personally.  Kumquats are interesting because they are a citrus fruit, like very small oranges, the size of grapes, and you don't peel them.  You eat the peel and all, sort of sweet and sour, but mostly sour; a grapefruity taste.  I ended up making scrambled eggs to so the girls didn't go hungry.  Next time you're in the grocery store and see exotic fruit, try it, it's fun.  Be prepared to drop some cash though, dragon fruit was $5.99 each and $1.99 each for the kumquats.

After our exotic breakfast we opened mothers' day gifts for Tara.  Happy Mothers' Day Tara!!!

Tara's new fedora, but I think she's going to return it.
