Another decent recipe. Heavy on the flavor.

IMO the FLV pink guava has some tartness, some zesty citrus and a mild sweetness. Pretty much like the nice bitter sweet thing I get from a real grapefruit.Funny if pink guava is tart because when I smelt it I was convinced it smelt sweet?
That's ok....I'm having a guava identity crisisI’m having a bit of a half day. Half a muffin for breakfast and half a sandwich for lunch.
Thanks J. I hope it plays nicely with the mango and cream....I'm just about to Google it.IMO the FLV pink guava has some tartness, some zesty citrus and a mild sweetness. Pretty much like the nice bitter sweet thing I get from a real grapefruit.
Good morning random folksHave you any plans today?
I don't think anyone here disagrees. Vaccines work and work well. They are not 100% effective at preventing infection with Covid-19, though, especially with those newer variants, but they do keep people from developing very severe outcomes if they do get sick. I just learned tonight that a friend of DD, who works with her, tested positive two weeks after receiving a booster. But he has very mild symptoms and will be OK.
I hope you get your car back in time.I did, but yesterday it seems my car decided that it wasn't going anywhere . . . From what I can tell the starter died (won't turn over - and it's not the battery, AC/Radio/Lights work). . . So can't do anything I wanted to then - nor today. Have to wait until Monday to have my car towed to mechanic to have it fixed. Really hope it doesn't cost too much - nor take long. I need to go food shopping and I have an appointment with my Nephrologists on Tuesday (half hour drive - 3 hours by public trans). . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Mango/Grapefruit smoothies are popular. My wife used to make a really good one. There are grapefruit/mango custards and cakes too.Thanks J. I hope it plays nicely with the mango and cream....I'm just about to Google it.
The description you linked is like SSA Guava which does taste like a real pink guava. FLV is grapefruit. Check out the flavor notes on ELR for it. Nearly every single member says it is grapefruit.
Ok I went to the flavorah website and it's definitely supposed to be a guava but the notes on ELR do suggest some grapefruit with other tropical fruit notes....it doesn't sound like a straight up grapefruit. I'm intrigued to try this and happy that it accents other tropical fruit nicely. Should be a goody I think.

Opie gave me the notes and I've got them on my computer....it is really useful.Mango/Grapefruit smoothies are popular. My wife used to make a really good one. There are grapefruit/mango custards and cakes too.
Don't know if you ever saw this fruit pairing web page. It's helpful, and decent, but in no way is it complete. The Ultimate Fruit Flavor Pairing Chart - The Baker's Almanac
The book, The Flavor Bible by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg, is one of the best sources for pairings of all kinds. I use my wife's old beat up hard copy and also the ebook version.![]()
