Buddha's Hand Citron : Distracting myself with rare fruit

My son's fourth grade teacher sent him on a mission... to the local produce section.  She had explained to the class that grocery stores will often stock up on different and interesting fruit during the days before Thanksgiving and that the best day to shop would definitely be Monday.   So, in spite of the fact that I really don't have much of a voice, we just had to get going!  This is what we took home with us.  Yellow tentacles reaching in all different directions, small and bumpy.  But with a really pleasing lemony smell.  It looked innocent enough. This was my introduction to the Buddha's Hand, a special kind of citrus fruit that is valued not only for its appearance but also for its sweet and flavorful rind.   Of course we didn't bother to Google what we could do with it until we actually had it home and were busy observing it on the counter.   We learned that our Buddha's Hand version was considered to be the open type, with...

Wreath Day : Yearly tradition

Making your own Christmas wreath.  It is definitely a tradition on the Pacific Northwest island where I live and surprisingly easy to do because the local nursery allows people to use their wreath making machines.  They even let you bring your own greens from home.  Just as long as you purchase their wire wreath forms.  For my family and I, making a wreath is a two-day process.  Day 1 involves a hike into the woods near our home to find pine branches that have fallen to the ground.  Considering how many wind storms we have by December, there is always plenty to glean from the forest floor.  We quickly fill up our blue IKEA bags and head home.  Day 2 involves a trip to the wreath making machine.  My son and I use clippers to fashion small little bouquets of varied greens, including pine and cedar and sometimes berries and rose hips.  This year, we had some eucalyptus to add a Southern Hemisphere touch to our holidays.   ...

Buddha's Hand Citron Cupcakes

This cupcake is hiding a hidden flavor! Last Monday, my son and I ventured to the grocery store in search of fruit that was new to us.  This is something that his teacher suggested as a part of Thanksgiving.  Five bucks later, we came away with one that I even I hadn't seen before. The Buddha's Hand Citron.  A yellow citrus fruit that doesn't grow as a sphere but as a bunch of finger-like tentacles.  These fruits can either have their fingers closed as if they are praying or splayed open.   We had to figure out what to do with it once we got it home and soon discovered that it has uses as a flavoring in salads and desserts.  When we cut into it, we also learned that it had the most amazing lemony fragrance.    I have been challenging myself to find uses for it, because a fruit this beautiful (and pricey!) should not go to waste.  Today's challenge was to see how they worked in a cupcake recipe.   RECIPE: ...
