The Good Old Times

My good friend Marcus came all the way from to Los Angeles, California just to see my bees!  Ok, thats not really true.  But he was able to visit the bees and see the vision that I shared for so very long!  In fact, a few moons ago Marcus made the original long journey with me outside Los Angeles to a little farm town where a little oasis exists we call "the honey store."  (Actually known as Bennett's Honey Farm - one of my favorite places on planet Earth - check it out for yourself as I still order Honey, Pollen, & Royal Jelly from here   http://bennetthoney.com/default.aspx )  This place is like Honey Heaven.  Back to the story, on our way back from "the honey store" we found a local produce shop were we stopped and stocked up on fresh fruits and veggies.  We made this a tradition traveling to buy honey and fresh produce from local farmers.  Somewhere along those Ventura County roads outside the city I began to dream of having my own local organic raw honey.  A few moons later, I got my own beehive and looking forward to harvesting fresh Arkansas Raw honey.  

Ok, Marcus - how much do you love my bees?

Fruit... Part 1

Dashing words, long debates, small food fights, numerous talks, Ambiguity, local favorites, words like "well it depends on the season", blah blah blah.  Enough talking.  Make up your mind and speak your mind!

Ladies and gentlemen, without further a due (blah blah), I give you my top favorite fruits.

1.  Kiwi  (any, anytime, anywhere)
2.  Cold Orange (California or Flordia, never had a real blood orange though...)
3.  Cold Juicy Watermelon  (ughhh, duh, Arkansas!)
4.  Sweet Golden Pineapple  (Big fan of Coasta Rica although Im growing my own so...)
5.  Strawberry ( Its a family thing really, I like any strawberry, especially California grown)

Honorable mention #1  Pomegranate.  Why? God talks about it.  Plus, its totally amazing.  If I could have pomegranate prepared for me all the time it easily takes #5 or #4 even; however, its such a hassle to prepare pomegranate!
Honorable mention #2  Organic Washington Red Delicious Apple.  Organic Apples! hmmm
Honorable mention #3  Figs.  That is so fig.  Figs are amazing.  Period.  In a game of Desert Island (stranded for life) this would probably #1 overall.  Why?  Simple. Amazing. Healthy.  And you can just pick it of the tree and eat it.
Honorable mention  #4  Apricot.  Amazing
Honorable mention #5  Peach.  So good, especially n now when they in season!  Wow.  Big fan of the white peach
Honorable mention #6  Grapes.  Who can forgot about grapes?  Prefer red, or actually those purplish California grapes is what I am into right now.
Honorable mention #7  Blackberries.  Plump blackberries.  No need to say anything more.
P.S.  I heart all berries, love pears!, oh, and cherries - well they are my WILDCARD because they are always good!
