Kumquats on a Winter Morning

{kumquats in a coffee cup}

:: feeling adventurous in the produce section of Meijers yesterday, we bought kumquats

:: eating one is like encountering the sweetness of sour

:: they take me to sunny skies and warm breezes, especially on snowy Sunday mornings

:: you eat them whole, discreetly spitting out the seeds

:: they are the antithesis of oranges - the peel is sweet and delectable while the flesh and juice make your mouth curl

:: kumquats are an "either/or" fruit. Either the intense flavor either makes you want another one (that's me) or it makes you wish you'd never tasted the first one (that's Ali!)
