Caimito

Caimito: "The Star Apple is a native of the Greater Antilles, including Jamaica, and was introduced from these islands to the rest of the tropical world. When cut crossways, the fruit reveals a star-shaped pattern. Star Apple is frequently combined with oranges and condensed milk to form a dessert called 'Matrimony'."

ME:

So I bought a caimate. Cut it open. Gave it the evil eye. Spoon in hand, dug into it.

I liked it.

Since it cost me over $1, I was going to try it regardless. I was concerned it would be too acid. It was more custardy and I ate from the white center towards the soft purple edge until only the harder rind and skin remained.

Then like a good boy, I set the rest out for the birds and squirrels. Never know what they might like.

Soon I should put out a bowl of water. It's getting dry.

In other snews: bought a hand of bananas, a mesh of oranges, a mango. But... that was sooooo yesterday. Need to get my butt to the farmer's market to get the rest of what I need for the week.

Watched "Back to the Future #3" this morning. Catching up on movies I've never seen! But after awhile TV does bore me. Thank God for "The Big Bang Theory".

Washed my cloth shower curtain. Cleaned the landing. Heated up cooked rice for breakfast. WOW! Is my life exciting...

When I go to market today:

carrots, camote, ñampí ... and whatever else. Need to find someone who speaks French (preferably as a native).

Peace out.
