  1. Hey Britni, so glad i saw your new blog here-i'm putting it right into google reader. They have those finger citrons here in Taiwan, and although I haven't gotten the nerve yet to buy one, I do know that they're also native to China because I'v seen some in ancient Chinese paintings in a museum here. Aren't they the weirdest? I'm still looking for the "foot" fruit. I'll let you know.

  2. Really? A "foot" fruit? How exciting! It will give the "foot in mouth" cliché a whole new dimension. :)
