Exotic Fruit for New Years

We made a new tradition on New Years.

We had a very lazy, very wonderful day where the only time we even left the apartment was to bike to the store, where we didn't really even know what we wanted. So we bought a Pomelo and avocados.

Out of avocado the I wanted to make a famous brazilian avocado shake, but they weren't ripe enough so we have to wait for that.

Neither of us had ever eaten a Pomelo before, and I don't think I had ever even heard of one. It's like a giant orange with a milder, sweeter taste. You take off the ENORMOUS peel (very furry and fluffly on the inside, lots of fun to peel). Then after peeling it you also peel off the whitish/clearish coating around all of the "slices," revealing all the pretty pinkish fruit on the inside. We peeled the whole thing, piled it on a plate, and devoured it while playing a game of Chess. It was delicious.






So we decided our tradition for New Years Day will be to eat a Pomelo and/or any other adventurous fruit that strikes our fancy.
