chayote

The check out man at macy's calls it coyote (he was super fast at the check out process btw.)

Its green. It's gown in costa rica, and smells kinda like a cucumber. Also it is supposed to have regenerative properties, hence this picture. Wikapedai told us so Cucumbers are a lot less cumbersome though. ha ha. Basically Roommate and I had wonder moment today, for the price of fifty cents! We were at good old Macy's, buying grocery's for the first time since we'd been back from tour (that was 2 weeks ago!) when we happened apon a sale we couldn't pass up. I mean who can resist green pear looking south american squash for fifty cents!!

SO we took it home... and opened it.


I hate it when she does that.

We cooked it.

and ate it. AND...... it tasted good, or at least not bad. Definitely worth half a washington.
