Last season we had a small harvest from our fruit tress. The hurricanes whittled down our pickings to 5 grapefruit and a couple of oranges. This year the trees have gone crazy with growth. The above bowl is filled with limes from ONE branch of our lime tree. I am now wildly searching for ways to enjoy my lime bounty. I will, of course, be making Key Lime pie (shhh! Don’t tell anyone I’m going to use our regular limes!) but I’ve been searching for a good drink recipe. We have 9 days till we have to call for insulation inspection and I’m thinking we need to throw a work party this coming weekend. What could be better than power tools and alcoholic lime beverages? I thought THIS ONE sounded promising as well as THIS ONE Oh Oh, I think I found a party winner THIS ONE MMMMMMMM oh yeah

Our Grapefruit tree is weighted down with tons of fruit. I can hardly wait. These are sweet sweet sweet. The first time I sampled one I literally thought that Troy had sprinkled it with sugar - they are just that good! I’m hoping this years crop will be as sweet. Sister-in-law has already decided that we’ll be juicing those babies and adding some good ole Vodka, mmmm fruitaholic.
