Back!

Finally back in DC, and I started the new job today, so things have been a bit hectic. Laos and Vietnam were both excellent. I was happy to find that some of my favorite fruits were in season, including dragonfruit and rambutans. I love the tropics!

Yummy dragonfruit! If you haven't had a dragonfruit before, the flavor isn't terribly strong, but they're refreshing and vaguely similar to a kiwi in texture and taste. They're one of my favorites just because they're so visually striking, with the dramatic red exterior and the white(or sometimes pink) interior.

I'm a little overwhelmed now by the current state of my garden though. The morning glory that I battle regularly has taken over and needs to be cut back from a lot of my plants. I have loads to harvest anyway, including loads of tomatoes and eggplant. I need to get started on my garlic planting now too!
