The Way to Auckland

The top picture is just of the ocean  --- well, probably the bay between the north and south islands.

So long, Nelson!

FEIJOA!

Well, my wish to eat a fresh feijoa has come true.  They're just at the beginning of their season (harvested in fall), and I found a few at the store a few days ago.  They're not exactly perfectly ripe, but Sarah P-C picked out a couple that were mostly ripe that I could try.

SO - here's what you do - you slice the fruit in half (how come I didn't take a picture of the whole fruit?) as in the top picture.  Then you scoop out the flesh and eat it - resulting in the last picture, just the skin.

YUM.

SO GOOD.

If you need yet another reason to come to NZ, come to taste feijoas.

he he he he

My sushi roll didn't turn out quite as nice as Takako's...  : )

But it was still yummy.
