Gratitude Day 5: Dates

Sat 05 September 2026

(I mean the fruit)

I know there are all kinds of amazing tropical fruits that I've never had an opportunity to try, but among all of the fruit I have had, I think dates are the most underrated.

Incredibly sweet and just a little chewy, with a vaguely mollasses-like taste, they make a great ingredient in home-made sweets and healthy snacks, and by themselves (or with some crushed pecans), they make an amazing treat with tea.

Just don't get the pitted kind, they dry out way too fast.
