Cherimoya

Tonight for dessert we ate our cherimoya fruit. This is the same one that was on our fireplace mantle. Today it ripened to perfection. Mark Twain called the cherimoya "the most delicious fruit known to men." It tastes completely tropical, like a hybrid of guava, mango, and maybe banana. Part of the fun of eating it is trying to decipher its flavor. You can find it under the name custard apple too. We got ours at the farmer's market. Let me know if you love it so too.




While we are on the subject of sweetness, I found this oldie but goodie of Nico today.He must have been about 6 months here.He is wearing his grandfather Oscar's reading glasses. His chins are truly custardy. This baby is ridiculous and delicious.
