Fruit

The fruit
Apples, grapes, pears
Held in a bowl so rare
Heat water, it is now impallid. 
Salad     


impallid -verb- to blanch(blanch par boil but also to dip in hot water for a brief period to make the skin turn loose).

- Fruit salad after a meal is good...but I don't make it often ... best fresh as Valsa says :) - hugs

Thanks for dropping by Anne-Lise. I enjoy fruit salad as well and might just have one on Thursday when my daughters come to lunch. Thanks for dropping by ...Sara

Beautiful Cinquain, Sara. But isn't it better to eat them fresh without making them pallid?

Oh, I don't usually blanch my fruit salad but I needed a rhyme for this one. LOL...I have blanched apples and frozen them for the winter ahead to use in apple pie. Thanks for the visit. Sara

My favourite fruit : Grapes. Yet your choice is good.

Anisha, grapes are delicious all by themselves or incorporated into a mixed fruit salad or with cottage cheese. So much good food available for people to enjoy these days. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Thank you, Gershon. I feel just like a butterfly now instead of mixed fruit salad. Sara

might come in handy with some muscadines too:) Nice one Mrs Sara but the rule is you provide the hunger, you provide the food:) Do you like muscadines? Great to see you today:)

Daniel, We have muscadine vines in the garden. I eat a few every year but my husband is the main one to consume them. The deer love them if my husband forgets to close the garden gate. Sara
