Things are looking up...
...As you can see from this latest photo of my daughter's fridge. (See previous post.) However, look a little closer. Do you see that bug-like thing in the foreground? Anyone care to take a guess as to what it might be before you read further? ...
Faithful readers will remember my description of the Urth Caffe fruit plate, which is cut to order and never has all the same fruits twice. Well, this time mine contained a rambutan, a lychee-like fruit inside that soft-spined shell.
Interestingly, the local supermarket sells them in their shells as lychees; but as I understand it, the rambutan is another member of the lychee family.
Anyway, the rest of the fruits you can probably guess, except at the top, under a strawberry, are two wedges of persimmon.

Easy - rambutan. Now do I get a prize? :)

Is that the same jar of Bonne Maman?
Don't ask. My daughter says she's going to fill her refrigerator with raw meat before my next visit.

Is it a lychee?

It looks like a sea urchin, but I'm betting it's one of those fancy "tea flowers" that unfurls in hot water.

At first glance I thought it was an empty cupcake wrapper!

Tofurkey (leftover from Thanksgiving) I would have guessed.

Rambutan. Yum! - although that one certainly looks past it's juicy prime.
