So the family has changed a bit. Henry has since gone back to Canada. I am now staying with Miguel (Mike) and Russ and Judy.
Neri and Miguel
Miguel is from Western Massachussets. He is down here to scope out plots of land where he can build his future house. He has sold his house in Mass and is planning to move down here for good in November. He´ll be down here for about three weeks. He´s my roomate now. His Spanish is pretty good and his vocabulary is way bigger than mine… we are pretty good about only speaking to eachother in Spanish.
Russ and Judy just arrived the other day. They are from Kentucky and are here to study Spanish for a month. They have many Hispanic friends and want to be able to communicate with them better. Russ has been studing by himself for about a year or so…

Magical fruit that came streight out of some obscure Nintendo game. They grow on trees with the big seed part facing downwards. EVERYBODY has eaten a part of this fruit many times in their life. Take a stab at what it is, you won´t get it... and it´s not a pepper...
Russ and I were amazed by this mysterious fruit. Stella is in the foreground answering Judy´s questions about it.

(my choices were to figure out what it was or draw more cabinets…)
lemme guess if it is not a pepper it must be an apple… it looks kinda familiar that cashew looking nub coming out it’s rump. is this a sweet delectable or a salty one… it is too bad you cannot google red a yellow Guatemalan nintendo fruit and get an answer (and yes i tried)… is it a banana or some sort?
more clues. has EVERYONE had specifically only part of it?
do you put it on a stick and serve it mango snack style in the street?
ooooohhhh! No way!!! they are huge…. salted or roasted?
google: “red and yellow Guatemalan fruit with a nut on the bottom”
apparently having “a nut on the bottom” is a.k.a. “nintendo”
let’s go play nut on the bottom!
i will never again be upset that i have to pay ten dollars for a little jar of these now that i see how much work the plant must go through to produce them… sheesh!
and well this is just a general comment but i really like the clustR map application on the side bar… i like the specific locations like kuwait and PR and then the massive vague dot that combines boston/Ma posts with all us NYC smucks… this would probably pose a problem if it were a baseball blog, but it’s not so whatever.
that fruit, my friend, is cashew nut….i confirmed with my intern who lived in Guatemala for years….small world…i didn’t know she was from Guatemala even though she works with me almost over a year .. i gotta introduce her to Otto….
@duffy
google has one too, i like google one better
My favorite nut and I never knew it grew to look like that! Brilliant.
