Hiya Granmarnie! Litchis are small oval fruits inside a brown prickly looking skin. The flesh is off-white and juicy and there's a large oval pip (pit) within. The fruit is very sweet and tasty! I found them here brought in from Mexico. We had oodles of them in South Africa! Delicious!

Granmarnie, you can see the litchis in the second picture, next to the cantaloupe (sweet melon) and the granadillas (passion fruit!) :)

Hiya Beth :) I'm glad I've got your mouth watering for some healthy stuff! LOL. I find that fruit over here does not stay fresh for long. It also just doesn't taste the same as fruit did when I was growing up! However, I am always fascinated to see how many places we get fruit from over here. California, Georgia, Texas, Mexico, Chile, Spain, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand... can't think of any more at the moment!! One of South Africa's big exports are oranges. I've also bought South African pears and pineapples here too! I'm always excited to find SA produce because it's grown in my home country's SOIL!! WOohooo!
I have to watch cholesterol, plus there are dietary restrictions I observe from a religious viewpoint. I really wish I was vegetarian completely and not actually spill blood to eat, but I'm not there yet. I am pretty sure that if I had to actually kill the animal myself, I wouldn't do it.
I used to avoid dairy at one stage, as it didn't help sinus trubs, but these days I just don't seem to be so conscientious.
I also tried to avoid sugars and hidden sugars altogether at one point, and I started dropping weight VERY fast. However, my SWEET TOOTH has returned with a VENGEANCE and the thought of avoiding all the wrong things at the moment is a VERY HARD NUT TO SWALLOW!! Talking about nuts, I eat almonds regularly. Pecans are grown in TX (our state tree) and I like most nuts. Peanuts are supposed to be too high in fats, so I try to limit those.
Don't forget to visit Mr. Hobbes' post... he seems to want that post ALL to himself! He's even gone and invited ALL the Posse Pets to come and play. He said that Angel and Sophie and he would be the hosts and hostesses! He's a REAL Puss-in-Boots! Hope you don't mind that he roped Angel in!! LOL! She's gonna have to do some MIGHTY long-armed manipulations to host all the way from Canada! LOL
