Day 9: Apricots

"It's like a really big raisin that isn't sweet and is covered in dust- with a slight aftertaste of a plastic shower curtain." That was Alex's reaction to the dried Turkish apricots I brought home from the bulk section at New Seasons Market (dot.com!).

This is Alex's 'ewww' look.

Why would I bring home dried apricots on National Apricot Day, you ask? Because apricots are nowhere near in season in Oregon! Except in Turkey, which is the leading grower of apricots in the WORLD. Alex, let's go to Turkey and get fresh apricots, ok?

Fun fact about apricots: They, much like prunes, can be used to treat constipation. It only takes a few, so chew wisely!
