Rolling into Summer

The weather is getting better, we finally had a couple warm and humid days in a row. Granted I don’t love that weather, fruits and vegetables usually do which means we’ll soon see a whole crop of seasonal foods hitting restaurants and grocery stores.

Pineapples are incredible at the moment and I’m looking forward to fresh lychees, waxberry, loquats, and tasty watermelon. I’m probably leaving out a few fruits, but I’ll stop now before those of you not in China get jealous.

The fresh vegetables are even more stunning. A variety of leafy greens with unknown English names show up at all the markets, meanwhile the regular veggies like tomatoes and beans just get better.

Now that your mouth is watering I’m going to mix up a Korean pomegranate vinegar drink I bought today at the Japanese grocer.
