This was the last one to be held at the Bayshore Garden Club...good turnout, speaker was Chris Rollins of the Fruit and Spice Park in Homestead...his topic was fruits of southeast Asia. I got cool seeds, chatted with friends, got to taste my first ever black Muscadines, and was reminded that some Longans can be very flavorful (like the ones that Chris brought MANY clusters of to share), others very bland. I will be curious as to where future meetings will be held. As always the potluck was wonderful and I was surprised how many people tracked me down to say how much they liked my vegan spicy Indian curried rice. (After many years of using garam masala I am getting very fond of tanduri masala).
