July spells only one thing to me - LYCHEES!
My father told me that for seasonal fruits like lychees, the beginning and end of the harvest yield poor fruits, and July is usually the best time to buy these fruits. Well, my dad is 80 and it's hard not to believe a man whose years of life experience and wisdom far exceed mine!
The lychees seen in the picture above amount to slightly less than one kg. I had to gobble 4 or 5 before I took this photo. Yes I am greedy this way! Anyway, a kg of these cost me $6. These lychees from China are hideously green but unbelievably sweet! If you have any intention of buying some, don't waste your money on the red ones from Thailand. I swear they are more sour than lemons.
