Day 255 What The Heck Is This???

Exercise: Spin class! Burned almost 600 calories tonight.  : )

We took snacks to work today. Someone brought this unfamiliar fruit. What fun we had with it! Hiding it in people's areas, purses etc. Beyond silly behavior, but you can get quite "slap happy" when you write curriculum all day long. Would you eat this? Once we got over its spiney, hairy, needle like appearance, we found out it was pretty darn good! Was told to crack it open by biting it. Hmmm, I don't think so. Grossed me out to do that. Cutting it open with a knife suited me just fine. Thank you to the person who commented and explained what it really was. I had no clue they were so colorful. The Fruit Link.



Here you see the fruit inside. Reminds you of the center of the earth diagrams you saw in elementary school right. So the "inner core" would be a seed that you don't eat. You would eat the "mantle."  : )  I hope you remember all that vocabulary about the Earth. The fruit has the exact texture and taste of a green grape.
Right now this "hairy ball," (you can imagine the jokes about that one at work) is hiding in Vincess drawer. I'm waiting for him to open it to freak him out. Can't wait for it!


Breakfast: 1 peanut butter sandwich, green tea, 1/4 cup oatmeal, some cherries
Snack: OMG...a bean and cheese flour tortilla taco from work, some fruit
Lunch: Once again ate out with the gals from work. (last time though...last day of work!!)
Dinner: chicken wontons, sweet potatos, mixed veggies, water, cherries
Lunch at La Madeiline: potato soup with bacon,
spinach salad with chicken and strawberries and bacon.
BACON....eeeek!

  1. This is a fruit common in the South East Asia. In Malaysia, the fruit referred to as RAMBUTAN. RAMBUT means hair. So RAMBUTAN a hairy fruit.

    Despite its look, the fruit (minus seeds and hairs) is sweet and delicious. This one looks as if it has traveled 3 days or so around the world. Otherwise it is a very encouraging looking fruit.

    Google RAMBUTAN for a more cheerful look!
