Buddah Hands & Key Limes

I live close to the New Sagaya City Market in Mid-Town Anchorage. I remember when it was a little store on Spenard. I still have the teapot I bought there way back when. Now there are two wonderful full-fledged markets. I figure if I'm going to live in the city I might as well take advantage of all the good things a city offers. (Went to a movie theater the other night and saw the new True Grit.

It was a fantastic remake of the old movie. If you get a chance Go See It!)
Now Buddah Hands are a fruit I'd never seen. I googled them and found out they are edible and how to eat them. They cook up great with fish, chicken and vegetables. They make great tea, marmalades and liqueurs. Best of all they make great natural air fresheners! After reading about them now I want to buy one. They were a little freaky to me when I saw them but being a lemon freak now I have to my hands on a Buddah Hand.
The key limes surprised me. I did not realize they were so small until now. Not much more to say about them except they took a nice bright picture. Oh, and Key Lime pie is good!

Those markets are wonderful. Will ever forget the Cooper river salmon I bought there or their great coffee.

Glad to hear you are near a nice grocery store. Pretty expensive tho! We were in Vegas yesterday and I buy stuff at the 99cent store. 2 red, yellow or green peppers for 99 cents. lettuce...celery...lg bag carrots...5 little cukes...99c each. Plus other stuff. Almost wish I lived in Vegas again! Are you working again?? Hope so. Love mom
