Jessica, I'm pretty sure any festival celebrating any fruit is a good idea. Kameran, Plug away! Thanks for the info! Jacqui, You did! You did! You knew it all along! I even told Elizabeth about our Thai experience! Megan, Ha! Well to clarify one thing, the pizza was just regular pepperoni, bought at the one restaurant in Dade City where there was room for all of us with a group of kiddos. How awesome would a kumquat pizza be though? Maybe YOU should be in charge of this festival! And yes, I totally agree about little, quick trips. It makes winter go faster. Jennifer, I haven't, but I am making a mental note now! Thanks! Kim, It really was a fun trip!

It's down the escalator from the main mall part. They have the BEST Pad Thai. My favorite dish there is actually Pad See Ieew, but Pad Thai is a very close second. That restaurant is so good that I dream about it and want to visit Chicago just to go there. Try it some time! Have you been to Baisi Thai in Oakbrook Mall?

Look at all these things people do with kumquats. I had no idea. Pizza?!? Pie?! This was really fun to see--who knew they even had entire festivals devoted to the little guys? Looks like a great trip! Good for you for taking advantage of little, quick trips...that's the way to do it in the winter! Well I’ll be darned! Look at all these things people do with kumquats.

I don't mean to plug our own website (sorry!!) but for the sake of a delicious bakeable item, it's here: http://wongfood.blogspot.com/2009/07/fabulous-orange-chocolate-cake.html and if you like pad thai, you should try making it! it's really not that hard and it's CRAZY delicious, homemade. I've found good recipes on allrecipes before. my future sister in law made a chocolate orange marbley-cake once that if I recall correctly, actually used a kumquat syrup, or candied kumquats something like that.
