"dragon fruit is cool"

You know, we like to try new things...don't you? Sometimes it's more exciting than others. Tonight it was just fruit...but it's called Dragon Fruit...and that IS exciting, isn't it? Like the Prickly Pear, this is the fruit off a cactus and the colour is similar on the outside to the Prickly Pear. Chill it in the fridge for a while.... Then slice it in half...how gorgeous is that?
Just use a spoon and scoop out mouthfuls of the inside. It tastes a bit like kiwi though the texture is much nicer than the kiwi. Yummy.
And empty...too pretty to toss out, no?
Michael helped all weekend and today over at Em's place. Here is a quiet moment contemplating how great her view is compared to ours. What a good man I have. And now, as I type, I am listening to him play guitar...I hope he plays a little John Prine tonight...he learned to play some of Prine's songs cuz I love them so much. How sweet is that? And sometimes, if I am in a "crusty" mood, a few licks of Violent Femmes' "Blister in the Sun" sets me right again. It's hard to be grouchy when you are singing along to that, am I right?
That's it folks...now that I am a working girl I don't have much news. All I have to report on is the apartment, the paint, the fumes...I am obsessed because it is already the 13th and Em arrives on the 1st and I still want to get to Sechelt for a few days before she leaves her cottage by the sea.
