Puzzle Description:

A pretty fruit treat made of a strawberry nested in half a kiwi. This is what I will give my daughter Karie on Valentine's Day instead of candy.

Am I a mean mom? A health nut? Anti-chocolate? Not at all! My daughter has a disorder of the hypothalamus and is on a very restricted diet. Lots of fruits and veggies, hardly any sweets. But she does get diet cocoa every morning and a Hershey's kiss every night (for the serotonin), and every weekend I take her for a date with her boyfriend for some low-cal fat free frozen yogurt. But doesn't this little fruit treat look yummy? Here's the photo:

She likes to eat the entire kiwi, skin and all. How about you?

:)

yum, but no skin, thank you!

I can't imagine eating the skin. makes me shiver just thinking about it.
The treat does sound yummy though!

LOL, Telly. Eating it with the skin is a unique culinary experience.

LOL, Telly, it gave me the shivers too! I can't even eat fresh peaches with the skin for that same reason.

Teresa, a lovely puzzle!

Thanks, Sallie.

I always eat the kiwi skin. I don't even notice it...but then I eat peaches unskinned too. How on earth could anyone hold a skinned peach in their hand and take a big juicy bite out of it without risking the peach jumping out of their hand? lol! My way the juice only runs down my chin!

Teresa, your daughter is lucky to have you, helping her make all those good choices! (And it's nice she gets a chocolate kiss every night, too! Life is better with a little chocolate!)

Mmmmmmm, fruit. Add mango, and I am lovin' it!

Thanks, DW.

No skin for me it looks like ,,, well monkey skin ... I like the idea of nesting this in a slice of mango ... Happy Valentines Teresa, Karie and all of my friends here!

Thanks, Jota. Monkey skin? LOL.

The first time I had Kiwi was at a restaurant in Miami. I asked the waiter about that fruit, he said it's so pretty they even use it on wedding cakes, I asked him to show me a whole one (I only had slices in my plate). I was sure he was teasing me when he brought it. At the moment I thought it was a monkey ball.

LOL!!!

Re #14, aren't those a delicacy in some cultures? Yuck.
