I also ate grapefruit daily there. I even tried kumquats!<br />I'm sure your girls will appreciate the trip one day :)<br />I think our growing season is a little too short in Canada, we can be forgiven the occasional import in the winter.Carriehttp://www.kitchenvixen.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978824923189305231.post-32604436567656205292010-02-22T06:53:02.167-07:002010-02-22T06:53:02.167-07:00Great good!

Something about diseased citrus from another country full of citrus canker, greening and Asian citrus psyllids being smuggled into that area. But who needs laws, right!

According to family lore, my great-grandmother once smuggled hot peppers home from Jamaica -- down the front of her blouse! <br /><br />I'm all for eating local, but Canada in the winter means you imported produce now and again -- and no guilt.<br /><br />I could go for a pink grapefruit myself!charmian @Christie's Cornerhttp://christiescorner.com/noreply@blogger.com
