"Don't worry about anything; on the contrary, make your requests known to God by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving. Then God's shalom, passing all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with the Messiah Yeshua." Philippians 4:6-7 (CJB)

Show and Tell today will be about Brazilian fruit - If you would like to be part of S&T Friday click on the left side button or go to CanadaGirl.
One of the things I miss the most from home is the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. I couldn't help while there to take some pictures. Enjoy the pictures!
This is a fruit and vegetable market on our way to the beach. Inside of the Styrofoam boxes were bottled water, pop, juice or cold coconut water (milk).
Oranges, Tangerines, Passion fruit, seriguela, coconuts, bananas, guavas, cashews, watermelons, pineapples...
Old fashioned scale. Weighing cashews.
Family working together, shelling Fresh Green Beans.
One of the most famous dishes of this region of Brazil is the fresh mature beans cooked with butter and salt only..... Oh, so good, yummy
Everyone has a Cell phone..... Look at the size of these guavas.... they were the size of a Barlet Pear. I love Guava.
Mom and my niece.....we had to have a taste of it before buying. These pineapples were sooooo sweet, Guess how much? $0.50, my Walmart has the sour ones for $4.00, not fear
Mom tasting the Acerola. She really spoiled me, she made me some juice that day. Did you know Acerola is in a lot of Vitamin C supplements here is the US? It's loaded with antioxidants.
I had to put the next two pictures in this S&T, Mom has always had a nice garden and lots of fruit trees. Mom's Acerola bush.
Mom's Graviola fruit, not ripe yet :( Graviola is now sold in the US as a food supplement.
Thanks for visiting my Show and Tell.
((((brazilian hugs))))
I can see why you just soaked up what you could while you were there !!! There is nothing nicer than to be mommed. ( my word for when you get to have your mom take the mom role just for a short time [ 0;) It gives you strength to go back and be a mom to the little's. [ 0= I just LOVED seeing your home country !!!! All I can say is... WOW !!!
I spent only 2 weeks in Costa Rica, but the abundance of fresh (and weird) fruit amazed me! I'm a fruit lover and thought I knew them all. However, I still don't know the names of the fruits I tried in the San Josι market. Oh, sure, the friends we stayed with told me their names...in Spanish...but they didn't know the English words and I didn't recognize the Spanish words. They were the strangest looking things I ever saw. But I think one of them was a passion fruit, from looking at your pics. Yum....delicious. And Costa Rican bananas taste much better in Costa Rica than in the States!
Wow, that is a lot of different fruit. It does look so yummy. Thanks so much for sharing it all. Now, I have to go see what I can find in the kitchen to eat. ;)

Great Show & Tell. Would love to have those prices for fruits over here. I just paid 5.00 for a bag of oranges here at the store.The price's sounds so great there. Have fun on your vacation.
I still cannot get over the cashews on top of fruit! Can you imagine them being sold at Walmart? They'd probably be $50 a pound. I am so glad you were able to go home and taste the sweet fruit. Indiana is not known for it's fruit. But there is very good fruit in the US, just not here.
(((hugs))

I so appreciate all these pictures you are sharing of Brazil. Because I know and love several missionaries there and consider them friends, seeing where they live and what life is like for them, is special to me.
I am really surprised that the cashew is attached to a fruit. I would have never guessed that!
I am glad that you got to be taken care of by your mom. That is so wonderful.

What a cool show and tell. That took me back to when we lived in Puerto Rico. Our neighbor had an acerola tree...we loved those things and he let us eat as many as we wanted! We were certainly healthy kids from all that vitamin C!!
Blessings,

Your pictures are so wonderful! The fruits look so lovely - it must be so nice to have such wonderful fruit and nuts available! I also looked at the pictures of your family. Such a nice family and how wonderful that you were able to spend such a great time with them all. I always love coming to visit you! God bless - Julie
That reminds me of our visit to Guatemala. The market was huge! I loved seeing these little old ladies in their Mayan costume squatting with a grandchild on their back...talking into a cell phone! Talk about two extremes! There was a bunch of different kinds of fruits and veggies too. They always overpriced things because we were white though. My friends wouldn't let us shop with them because they would get overpriced too for having us with them. Often they would do my shopping for me so they could get us a better deal! We had avocado trees in our yard, and a macademia nut tree in our backyard too. It was fun.
Oh K, I just love hearing about your trip and seeing all the sites. Talking about all the fresh food makes me want to live there. Do you think your mom would adopt me? You would have to come with though of course to help me figure things out. Thanks for sharing!!!
I am so glad to see that you made it to Brazil! As a Army Brat and Wife, I understand living in a foreign country and being away from family! Oh, do I understand-especially being away from my parents. I am also glad to have you back in the US : )
