I spent this weekend in one of the most beautiful places on earth, the Sunshine Coast, not to be confused with the Sunshine Coast in Australia this is in British Columbia Canada. I am lucky enough to have a friend with a place up there. This weekend She and I ran away from real life and carpets being laid, and spent a restful weekend in Paradise. She went ahead of me and greeted me with a wonderful dinner on Friday night and introduced me to a new food item Watermelon radishes.

She had made pork chops in a mustard sauce served with potato and fennel gratin and a coleslaw which contained an ingredient that I had never had before, when asked she told me they were watermelon radishes and came from the IGA right there in Maderia Park. The next day I had to go buy another one, and we ate it with almost everything that we had on the weekend.

It looks quite boring in it's uncut form, but when you cut it open behold the beauty.
