I have decided that spring officially started on Wednesday of this past week, and that it should be criminal to be inside... which is probably why I have been lagging on this blog [my appologies]. With all these outside activities I have been craving more summertime fruits.
My little sister is not as into fruit as I am, but I'm trying to make her be. On friday it was probably in the mid 70s, and since I live near the beach I decided that I needed to go sit by the water, and decided to drag my sister with me. Before we could go, I had a strong craving for mangos, so off to the local market we went.
One cart in the local market is marked "exotic fruit" which I love because I never realize all these fruits are considered exotic. These are mangos, pineapples and kiwi, all fruits I have grown up with. The best part is that it is right next to an entire cart dedicated to strawberries [which are on sale again! $1.99!] Seeing all these fruits together reminded me of another great summer treat--the fruit salad!
Now my ultimate summer beach trip treat is the fruit salad, and no salad would be complete without some really juicy strawberries. Am I wrong?? I feel like most people would have to agree that the best fruit salad would have to consist of strawberries, watermelon, and pineapple--at a minimum. Since I've been on such a mango kick recently perhaps I'll add some slices into this summer's mix!

Just add some grapes and maybe some apple to that salad and it sounds PERFECT! I had my first strawberries of the season this weekend when I was home! They were giant and not all that sweet, a sign that it's still a little early for strawberries.
