While visiting with a friend’s elderly father, we spotted some unusual, boxy-shaped citrus growing in his yard. He plucked one of the fruits and gave it to us … but we still don’t know what it is!Our friend’s dad explained that he used to eat this fruit in his homeland of Armenia but couldn’t find it in the United States, so he grew the tree from a seed sent by a friend back home.

Recipe: Cream of Tomato Soup

Nothing is simpler or more classic than opening up a can of cream of tomato soup for lunch. So if you’re going to make a homemade version, it had better be worth the extra bother. This recipe most decidedly is, although it’s really not that much more work. Just chop up an onion, maybe a rib of celery, and open up a few cans of tomatoes. Splash in some milk and buzz it with a blender until smooth. That’s it!
