Lychees!



I have been obsessed with these tasty little fruits since I was a kid in Brooklyn and got them at the Chinese restaurants as dessert. Sweet, plump, juicy, with a perfume-like taste. There is nothing in the universe that tastes like them. Kemia Bar makes an outrageous martini with them. When I was in Vancouver B.C. last April, I had a frozen Lychee Tea drink that almost made me pass out from drink-happiness overload. Maybe I should try my hand at making Lychee jam and sorbet.... I can't wait until June/July when I can buy the fresh ones in season! On the other hand, I wonder how hard they are to grow myself..... hummm.
