My fruits for the last two days are the cranberry and the peacherine. I love dried cranberries on my salads and even though I'm foregoing the more traditional experience of cooked cranberries or the lovely molded cranberry from a can, they make a great salad topping and can really change a salad. The peacherine is probably a trademarked name for a hybrid between peaches and tangerines. The bummer of tangerines is you have to peel them and with peaches you only have to deal with a little fuzz on the skin. So somebody somewhere thought the two together would make a novel fruit that someone who wants to try eating different fruits might pay for. They were right. Anything I can find something novel it's basically a free pass from having to use up a more common fruit or vegetable. I enjoyed it but it wasn't breathtaking; It tasted like a sour peach. I got my fiber and they got my money and an easy pass for my fruit/veggie challenge for that day.
With that, the first half of the challenge is over. The hardest part of the challenge so far is dealing with long work days. Now I'll be dealing with travel days instead. My initial travel for my journey to Thailand has begun and I'm on the road to Oregon/Washington, then flying to California for a little over a week, then flying to Thailand. I'm looking forward to an exotic selection of fruits there to fill out the last 15 days of my challenge and you'll get to read all about. I'm also starting a blog about the Thailand journey if you'd like to join me for other experiences than what fruit I found.
