Pluot? Huh?

So , I learned (and tried) something new today! Last week on the blog, I posed the question: " What is your favorite hybrid fruit ," and the overwhelming response was a " pluot ." I had never heard of a pluot ; I actually felt like I was missing out on an amazing fruit! So, while I was at the grocery store this afternoon, I decided to seek out these popular pluots . If you're curious, a pluot is a cross between a plum and an apricot.



My pluot tasted and looked more like a plum than an apricot, but it did have a hint of apricot flavor. A pluot is a very delicious hybrid fruit, especially if you're in the mood for something a little different.





My boss made a blueberry loaf for our staff meeting this morning. Of course , I had a piece-- I just can't pass-up homemade baked goods. On top of the blueberry loaf was a wonderful lemon glaze !





Lunch was leftovers from last night -- a mix of rice, beans, pumpkin, onions, raisins, and sliced onions. Again, the meal was very filling, and I barely finished it. There was no room for dessert today!





In addition to a pluot, I also grabbed a small iced coffee from D&D as an afternoon snack. I needed a pick-me-up!
