First fruit from the young tree

 

Grace, is that actually a mini dress you're wearing?  Of course I love it!  Of course you look great in it!  You look like a Rock Star!  That expression on your face makes me smile, too.  It's as if you were being leered at.  Well, that you are.  But it's not a shot to lust after.  And the photo quality is less than the background.  Well, at least you have cover art.  Congratulations again on your latest single.  The production is good, and I love how the song wraps up.  "Wine on Venus" is a great song, Grace!  You're only getting started.  Always keep writing, Honey.  Write from the heart, and don't worry about the words yet.  The fruit isn't money or fame, it's music. 

I was streaming the Qur'an this morning, when the server got jammed.  I'm sorry folks, but it wasn't a local problem.  You're going to have to ask those guys in Portugal what's up.  They're usually good about fixing things in real time, but not this time.  The Twitch stream seems more stable, but I don't read the Qur'an over it.

I can't stomach a lot of the local fruits because they're usually too sweet.  I like mangos and mangosteens.  Then there's jackfruit.  There are 2 types, "cempedak" and "nangka".  The nangka is what I eat, so I planted a couple of trees by my front gate.  That was 5 years ago, and one of them is bearing fruit.  These are huge trees, so 5 years is unnaturally fast for bearing fruit.  One of the fruit ripened a couple of days ago, so I harvested it.  The size of the kernel you see in my hand is smaller than normal, but I got about 30 from one fruit the size of a football.  The flavor and texture is sort of like a smooth and milky apple.  Sweet like ice cream.  This is the first fruit from the young tree.
