One of my favourite memories from visiting Lebanon last summer was the fruit.  Specifically, the cherries and apricots were irresistibly yummy.  In fact, I didn’t particularly like apricots before my visit to Lebanon; how that changed once I sunk my teeth into a Lebanese apricot!  It must be something about the Middle Eastern sun; the fruit were perfectly ripened, sweet but still firm. I ate them until my belly ached, but I’ve never been able to find apricots nearly as good back in Montreal.

What is the best fruit you’ve ever had?

I’m all about my birthday this year. It must be the big number that is affecting me. These posts aren’t at all about bragging but moreso about being thankful for all the amazing people in my life and how much they mean to me – 365 days a year.

This amazing Edible Arrangements presentation has the numbers 30 carved into pineapple. That is the coolest thing ever! My little brother Simon gave this to me and I scarfed the whole thing down. The best part: the chocolate covered bananas. But I saved the numbers for last.

Apologies for the picture quality, I’m totally not a photographer as you can see!

More to come tomorrow!
