Day 10, Jan. 10: One fruity guy

My (current) Top 10 Favorite Fruits

1. Pineapple (this didn’t even crack my Top 10 when I was a kid.

We never ate it while I was growing up.)

2. Strawberries (Former No. 1, barely hanging on to No. 2 ...)

3. Raspberries (A real up-and-comer,

especially as a flavor in cheesecake!)

4. Oranges (Might rank higher, but I hate peeling them.)

5. Peaches (Messy, but small enough to handle.)

6. Watermelon (Might rank higher, but very messy and very big

— until you cut it up, which is a hassle.)

7. Pears (Sort of plain, but dependable,

especially when ripened to the right moment.)

8. Grapes (Usually the green ones, although the purple ones

are good when they’re not too large.)

9. Apples (A bit over-rated, but the right one

at the right time hits the spot.)

10. Pomegranate (This really isn’t in my Top 10,

but it’s such a cool-sounding fruit!)
