Dragon Fruit

On this fine new years day Bill, Lily and I took a walk to our local park. For the last few week we'd been watching as two dragon fruits hanging over the fence grew more and more ripe. Today, despite not really knowing what to look for, I felt like one of them looked ready.

With some difficulty the fruit was harvested. We carried home the softball sized pitaya Once home Bill cut it open as I read an online tutorial on how best to serve it.

Inside the waxy red skin was white flesh dotted with tiny black seeds. With a delicate floral flavor and the texture of a kiwi I will gladly eat dragon fruit a second time.
