“Do not be afraid to go out on a limb. . .That’s where the fruit is.” Anonymous Fresh Plum Spice Cake Blogging is greatly inspiring. It’s opens the mind to new ideas & makes you look at everything differently. Food blogging for foodies like me goes even a step further. A fruit means more than just a chomp now; it eggs me on to try & widen my horizons! …am still on a fruit trail Cherries have all but disappeared from the market; they show up for a very short period in summer. Peaches, plums & mangoes still rule the roost, with mangoes creating a sort of flood. I’m in…
