See that smile on my face? It also came with tears in my eyes. That is because I went grocery shopping at the newly improved Smith's and they have some "exotic" fruit for sale. Among these new fruits is my favorite of all the fruits, passion fruit. I have seen it there for several weeks, but because of the price on the fruit I have not purchased it. Its $2.99 each! I couldn't hold back the desire to purchase it today... so I did!!!!
As soon as I got home I cut open one of the three, yes I bought three (hence the title of this post), my smile was from ear to ear and my eyes filled with tears of sheer joy! Its amazing that a fruit that perhaps look unappetizing can bring so much joy and bring back so many great memories. I quickly ate all three (after Dave took these two pics). 
I enjoyed it some sugar in it...mmmm, SO GOOD! Dave however was not impressed with taste and for sure not impressed with the price (party pooper!). I think it was $8.97 well spent. ps. I also got some on my white shirt... My shirt liked it too.

I totally agree with you Laura!!! It was an $8.97 very well spent. I was just thinking of maracuya the other day, I was thinking "Where in the world could I get my hands on some..." Too bad I don't have a new and improved Smiths where I live. I am totally drooling watching you eat that in the pictures!!!
Sometimes you've just got to splurge! Glad you enjoyed it!
I was catching up on one of the many reality cooking shows a few days ago (Masterchef, I think). They had to create something "romantic" with passion fruit. Some people got it...other not at all. I would have been on the not at all side. I haven't ever tasted it and certainly don't know what to do with it...
I have never had it. I'm not sure I will at that price. :)It sounds like it was worth every penny.
Yum!! We love chinola at our house! We ate it all the time on our missions and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the juice! I'm jealous you got some fresh ones :0
Never tried that, but I'm sure it was worth the price. Good for you.
I have never had passion fruit myself...but Erick has while in Hoduras on his mission and when someone brings it up he wishes for the fruit too. I am sure he would agreed that paying $8.97 for three of them is monney well spent.
You look beautiful and very happy by the way. I on the other hand would love to get my hand on some mamones or some tamarindo.
Which Smiths?? I LOVE maracuya! And you can't get it anywhere. Ahhhh...I want to make a jugo!!
I got it at the Smiths off of 500 South. Its the old Fred Meyer. I am guessing its seasonal.
