the glory fades

I dream of Crescenza Luisi's focaccia bread.

I dream of making Crescenza Luisi's focaccia bread.

Today's attempt was a nightmare.

Moving on...

The sign advertising kumquats said "eat them whole." How could I resist?

I cannot at this moment recall a more exciting product of the ground. It is like a tiny orange. Only you eat the rind. The rind is slightly bitter and kind of sweet. The flesh is juicy and sour. The mini-orange explodes in your mouth. It's a sweet/sour/tangy/juicy explosion!

And now, in order to preserve the remainder of the package, they are candied and in the fridge. I plan to add them to a cake (perhaps of the coffee persuasion) and I think they are screaming to be part of a cocktail. Results to follow.
