Dade City did a great job this weekend with the 12th Annual Kumquat Festival. We dragged the Rileys along and made a day of looking at the many vendor stands, and buying lots of kumquats, like 8 pounds! It started raining a little after noon so we ducked into Kokopelli Cafe for lunch, some kumquat specialties, kumquat wine, and kumquat martinis. We had a toast to Betty. After all, Mom first took us girls here for lunch a few years ago and we had the Fried Green Tomato Salad, remember that, Sue and Nan? We wandered through several antique shops and then drove through Zhills on our way home, just for old time's sake. It all looks pretty much the same. Now what to do with all those kumquats! Jam, cakes, pies???

Oh I sure do remember that! That was an interesting restaurant. Oh to have a plate of fried green tomatoes!! Delish! Kumquats, eh? I'll see what I have for recipes in my closet of cookbooks.
You eat Kumquats peel and all right?? I'm thinking Salsa, Something with some kick to it!
Good ol' Z'hills!

I have no idea what a kumquat is! You'll have to keep us updated on what you make!
