Attack of the Flavor Grenade!!

(The Flavor Grenades my brother and sister brought over)

"Do you want a Flavor Grenade?" my brother asked me, 
setting a box on a the kitchen table.

"A what?"

"A Flavor Grenade," he simply repeated.

"Those things are actually called that?"

Even after my brother and sister left, nieces in tow, I thought they were making up the whole "flavor grenade" bit.  No fruit can actually be called that!  A short google search later proved that that was the literal name of the fruit. 

A Flavor Grenade is in the Pluot family of fruit, a cross hybrid of a plum and apricot.  I was surprised by the crisp, soft, yet firm, texture of the fruit, and the explosive flavor.  It's 10 thousand times better then a Grapple.   

You can buy the fruit trees off a couple of websites including Amazon and Nature Hills. 

Below is a farmer talking about the Fruit Grenade.  

I don't know where you can buy the fruit, but my brother and sister-in-law bought a box from the Shops at the Riverwoods farmers market last weekend.  Enjoy!

Chalk the Block Part 2

 Chalk the Block, at the Shops at Riverwood in Provo, was an incredibly fun festival celebrating street chalk art.  Here are some more great drawings.

 In case you ever wondered what a Hole to China looked like.

 This drawing made me wish Mary Poppins was real, so I could jump inside this world.

I had a great time and can't wait for the next chalk art festival.  Amazing.

Chalk the Block Part 1

Shops at the Riverwoods, located in Provo Utah, had their first Chalk Art festival named Chalk the Block this last week.

 Below is my Moms most favorite Chalk Art drawing.  It was done by artists Bailey and Rebecca who currently attend Timpanogos High School.  I wish them the best; they're both incredibly talented.

Some more amazing drawings.

 The Next piece is by featured artist Dawn Wagner.  She first got her start in Santa Barbara 24 years ago, and has since participated in about 80 chalk art festivals.

 The angle you view the piece affects the way it is seen.

Below is from another featured artist Rebecca Pletsch.

Amazing day!  Amazing works of art!  More pictures are coming tomorrow.
