Rambuten
A tiny tumbleweed...maybe. A part of my healthy eating plan...definitely. This fruit is related to lychee but with a brown curly “hair” outer layer that peels off easily. Just peel the outer layer off to the soft inner fruit, then eat around the large softer pit inside. The flesh is sweet and tender like a peeled green grape. These were in the produce department of my local grocers, so no exotic shopping forays. Go ahead and give these a try some time. Just seeing them stacked on the kitchen counter next to the apples and onions made me smile as they offered variety to the scenery there. See what you think...
When I’m not exploring the more unusual offerings in the produce department of my local grocer’s, I’m sewing cotton pocket wrap around aprons for my online shops - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads and www.amazon.com/handmade/topdrawerthreads .
Or I’m merrily knitting stocking caps using double and triple strands of yarn from upcycled recycled yarn for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .
My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers for kicking up your heels in.
My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she works upcycled recycled yarns into brightly rainbow striped afghans and throws.
My younger daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/shroombloombags - where she crochets upcycled recycled yarns into funky mushroom inspired shoulder bags.
