Fruits in Season

What do apples, figs, grapes, mango, watermelon, rhubarb, and tomatoes have in common?

They're all summer fruits, according to chasingdelicious.com.  And passionfruit, bananas, and citrus fruits are in season year-round, so I'll be stocking up on these, too!  (Heaven forbid I go a day without eating a banana.)

In other news, my boyfriend moved into his summer sublet yesterday, and the healthy chocolate-chip cookies I brought to warm up his new digs were a hit!  (Thanks, Chocolate-Covered Katie!)  The jug of chocolate milk didn't hurt, either ;-).

It felt great to bake something after a months-long hiatus.  Even the oven seemed pleased!

Eating Seasonably: May

Oh what a beautiful wheel!  It makes me want to go and buy a cart-full of fruits and vegetables. The interactive chart is sponsored by Eat Seasonably, a UK organization, so it applies more to the climate there than in the United States but may be considered a close enough approximation, depending on where you live.

What's in stock for May? Rhubarb and asparagus are considered the best produce for the month, but cauliflower, spinach, curly lettuce, and cucumber are also in season.

Bon appetit!
