This weekend we are running up to Uncle David's new house. One of the highlights of the visit will be the annual Kumquat Festival in Dade City. I'm not making that up - you can check it out here: http://www.kumquatfestival.com/
The kumquat is a small, bland piece of citrus fruit that looks much better than it tastes. I'm surprised their web site doesn't have recipes because you can make pies and other goodies if you add a lot of sugar and other ingredients to give it flavor. But, they have a link to a site which has recipes: http://kumquatgrowers.com/
They'll have a Kumquat Court and a Pagaent Queen, young ladies who look much better than the lowly kumquat. The point of the whole affair seems to be to give you an excuse to get out and traipse around downtown Dade City, a quaint place which is looking better to me as my hometown looks worse and worse.

fun, i'm glad you are going out there for this festival - it's great to suppport local farmers and produce, particularly when they grow such yummy things as citrus fruit! consider your daughter jealous, as she patiently eats out of season cherries from chile, and patiently waits for california produce to start appearing back in the stores again so she can support her community...
