Various food items

Here are some citrus fruits waiting to be eaten...at 12 o'clock, one of our freakish lemons from our backyard. Our tree finally had a lot of fruit this year. At 5 o'clock, tangerines and kumquats. The kumquats were FREE from Bert's co-worker (backyard too). At 8 o'clock, more kumquats and one lone kalamansi fruit from our pathetic tree. The kumquats are surprisingly good. I never knew you ate the SKIN, which is very sweet. The fruit itself is very tart! Yikes!
Kumquats...
These are North Italian prune plums. They are quite small and were $1.99 lb at NPP. These 3 were about 80 cents. TC liked them! I never had a chance to try it. Will buy more next time.
Never tried this brand before. I was happy to see that NPP had Filipino (or shall I say "Philipino") food items in their freezer section.
The most expensive item we bought at NPP was this:
Magnolia brand ice cream! This size was $8.99. It's $1.00 less at Seafood City but we save $$$ on the gas to drive to National City since NPP is just 2 minutes away.

These are tea biscuis from Turkey:
They are dry and twice baked. I ended up slathering Nutella on these crackers. The crackers you see below are Marias biscuits from Spain. These are so good with Nutella as well as that caramel spread you can buy at Latin food stores.
Dry biscuit:
Bert bought some Lavash to eat with a spread made by his Russian co-worker's wife:
These would make good wraps for salads and sandwiches:
This is not really the mustard. It's just the jar used to hold this incendiary vampire repellent known as Russian salsa. Okay, that's not what it's actually called, but you could do a number on someone by breathing on them after eating this...
Can you see the garlic pieces? That's chopped, raw garlic. There are also tomatoes and onions in there. I'm not sure what else is in it, but it's pretty good. It smells quite strong.
Mmmm....
Yeah, a lazy post, but I wanted to crank it out.

My calamansi tree is the same, half of the fruits fall off. I may have to plant it on the ground this spring and cover it during winter.

My daughter and I love the kumquats for its sweet/sour almost like a super lemon candy breath freshener all in one citrus fruit.:)

Lavash bread, so good with flaked chicken adobo.:)
