fruit salad...


my photography meetup group had a bbq today at 4:30 p.m.  i took a fruit salad (and my homemade bread & butter pickles). mrchazman volunteered to go to the store for my ingredients this morning.  i made a list...and then explained it.  explicitly!


my local grocer was having a sale...BOGO...so that is where i wanted him to go. 


the ingredients...
  • strawberries
  • blackberries
  • blueberries
  • raspberries
  • peaches
  • nectarines
  • cantalope
  • honeydew
  • pineapple
  • grapes
  • lemons (for zest & juice)

he came home with everything but blueberries...because the store was out of them.  :(  oh well...i've enough other fruits. 


the recipe is simple. wash the fruit.  cut it into bite-sized pieces.  combine.   zest the lemon. add a bit of sugar (or not).  


mix.  chill.  serve.

p.s.  it's now 11:30 p.m., and we just recently returned home from the bbq.  it was a fun event.  with great people.  i'm looking forward to the next one.
