If you are a ex-Lime Bar back-up singer, living in London and working in IT - DONT LOOK NOW!! It's for your own good, I'm telling you as a friend ...
Yip folks - it's feijoa time. And anyone doing a stint overseas knows they are missing out on the quintessential kiwi season.
KM delivered a stack of them off MA's trees on Friday night and whipped up a great cake. Feijoa's are so good - chutney, cakes, muffins, fruit sponge or crumbles. All the feijoa's on KM's cake started off on top of the cake ....
But then fell to the bottom - oh la la - this beauty tasted even better after a days work in the garden!
Of course feijoa is now in the form of decent alcohol thanks to 42 Below. My favourite cocktails are 42 Below Feijoa Vodka and old-fashioned apple juice, followed closely by 42 Below Feijoa Vodka and Chi - with a slice of cucumber. The latter is less sickly sweet and could almost be the kiwi style of a "Jug of Pimms" in the summer!

Not working in IT, but do live in the UK, but can safely say they are one thing I don't miss! ;-) I made myself sick eating a sack (big brown paper rubbish bag) full of them when I was about 9 - 10 years old and have never been able to eat them since!
This made me laugh - can remember sitting with my friend gorging on them.
Must have cake recipe now, as only cake Button will eat after baking while she was visiting you!
