[Quenepas!](http://www.micaminito.com/genip.htm) I’ve got a bag right now and me and the kids are sucking like crazy. These babies must take more calories to eat then they contain.

In a couple weeks guava season will be here. I can’t wait to head up to the mountains and have a hike/buffet. Nothing like a big fat juicy fresh off the tree guava. The strawberry guavas will be there too. Good eatin’ ---
