Summer Fruit


We topped some fresh berries, nectarine, mangos, and bananas with plain greek yogurt and a drizzle of local honey. This was made back in June at the height of strawberry season. Greek yogurt is really incredible (I always get the Fage brand) - it's thick like custard and doesn't have the sourness of a lot of American yogurts. I love these dishes. We got them as a wedding present from our good friends Paul and Deena. There are four in the set and each one is different. Unfortunately, one broke last time we used them, but I'd rather have enjoyed them fleetingly than have never enjoyed them at all. My mom get a set of china for her wedding and in the 22 years that my parent's were married, I recall my mom using those dishes once. She always said they were too nice to use and so they sat in a box in the unused portion of the basement collecting dust. I wish my mom had gotten more enjoyment out of them while my parents were still married.
