Kumquats - Meatless Monday

Kumquats are like little bursts of bright sunshine in my mouth. Bitter and sour, they make my lips pucker. They just scream summer. I like them dunked in sugar. My favorite thing to do, is to add slices of them to my cup of tea. I'm a big fan of orange spice tea so this hits the spot. The biggest bonus of all, they are just so darn cute!

A kumquats post, what fun! :-) Just hearing or saying their name makes me grin. Confession: I've never eaten one! Now I must. And I love the idea of putting them in tea (I'm a fan of orange spice tea as well!)

Oh good, I hope you like them. I think you'll really like them in your tea. Dunked in sugar they remind me of orange marmalade, which I know is not for everybody, but in tea they are wonderful.

I've seen them at the local Safeway and plan on getting some when I go shopping there tomorrow.
