These little guys are called uvias, or ground cherries in English. Other than the name, they have nothing in common with cherries.
They are orange and small- about the size of a cherry tomato- and grow in these cute little paper husks, or "tents" as I call them.
They grow on a bush similar to a tomato plant and resemble a tomato, but taste like a tomato crossed with a grape. They have a sweet, almost tart tast to them. It's very unusual.
I like them okay, but can only eat a few at a time. The lady I bought them from at the market gave me a large bag full, and I doubt I'll be able to finish them all!

My Dr I think only didn't tell me because the second he did it went even higher. He was trying to not stress me out more than I was just know I was delivering so early. I hadn't had it with any of the others but with Chase I had HB the whole way though. I am so glad to have had a Dr that honored his preisthood.
