Vanilla Garlic is my nifty food blog that I tinker at with essays about life and food that I like to think are humorous or thoughtful. I also work as a freelance writer and a cookbook author. Whether I succeed at any of this debatable.

Hi dear,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to drop you a line and say hey. I love your food blog and I've actually filed away a few of the recipes to try once I've got a little more time (and once I've got a better handle on the major appliances in my kitchen--you know me, I usually stick to my microwave or toaster oven, and if all else fails, I go get take-out!).

Apricots, currants and blueberries are my favorite dried fruits - you're right, they have a myriad of delicious uses! I'm hoping to use my apricots to make some chocolate apricot rugelach over the thanksgiving break. :)

I totally forgot to throw in a shout out to M who gave me the wonderful little wooden serving dish that you see poorly photographed there (there was no good light today).
ReplyDeleteI like dried fruits: raisins, prunes , apples, apricots, bananas, cranberries, figs, mangoes, pawpaw, peaches, pears, persimmons, pineapples.
ReplyDeleteThey are a good alternative to be available to' out of season' fresh fruits. It is a healthy snack (my children used to eat them instead of candies) and excellent ingredient to pies and meat sauces.
I agree! Actually, just finished off a bag of dried raisins & cranberries last night (while watching "House" on TiVo). Will have to buy more ASAP to prep for Turkey Day...
