fresh fruit

Every year, at Christmas, my father sends my family a box of Florida grown citrus. That’s normally a great gift, except for the fact that:

1) We live in Florida, so the citrus isn’t a special treat.
2) I hate citrus.

If he wants to send us a healthy gift (and again - cash is just FINE), I’d much rather it be a one of these fine fruit baskets from The Fruit Company! Big selection, great variety, unique things you won’t find anywhere else, and it’s all topped off with fast shipping. I’d love to get a gift of fruit that we can’t find at our local grocery store, like huge Rainier cherries from the Northwest, or these beautiful StarCrimson pears:

I’ve never seen such a thing! I’m not a huge fruit eater, but even I’d try something that looked that neat. The company also sells cheesecakes and those are right up my alley! Caramel apple, Bing cherry cheesecake, apple crisp, Marionberry, strawberry swirl…the cheesecakes are made with a graham cracker crust, fresh cooled, and then it heads to your house in a special cool pack container so that it won’t warm or spoil.

(So how do I get my dad to send a cheesecake instead of the oranges?)

   I on the other hand, loves citrus fruits. They’re just so refreshing.

   But then again, I wouldn’t say No to a cheesecake.

   Ha, you have to get his spokesperson, MARK, to want the item, and then let the asskissing begin!
