The wife loves to eat early June while they are not so ripe (manibalang). They're crispy and taste like sineguelas. When they are so ripe, it is juicy and sweet. Dried plums (prunes), have more antioxidants than dried grapes (raisins). Excellent fruit indeed! The plum season is almost over, at least the Mariposa variety from my backyard.

What I remember are their palmeiras or mini-mariposas. Basically those puff pastry cookies sprinkled with sugar. They looked so ordinary but would just melt in your mouth. I don't know how they did it so well. I second NYCMama on Bonte. What I remember are their palmeiras or mini-mariposas. Basically those puff pastry cookies sprinkled with sugar.

I thought I had supressed the memory, but you brought it up, booohooohooohooo. There is still nothing like the eclairs of Bonte. Believe me, I've tried them all, hoping to find a replacement.

When my Dad visited me last Autumn, peaches was his breakfast and dessert for lunch and dinner. The Janghowon peaches here grow to the size of grapefruits or much larger than a softball. MarketMan,
