We knew we could count on you!
6 years agoYes. Just get rid of the thorns... Really good too!

Hi Doug, as you will soon read, that restaurant tip was great!
If you feel like sending us an email at shadybrook@shaw.ca we will stay in touch, at least sending updates on where in the world we are cycling.
Greetings from Doug on the Coast Road near Uaymitun! Safe journeys and I’ll look forward to your blogs!
6 years agoI'm using a Mac! Hold down the key and you get a selection of options. At work, where I use a Windows machine, it's not as easy.
6 years agoI am not sure I would want to follow one of these anywhere!
6 years agoOk, I lied. Today it was more like 26. And by the Gulf tonight there was a vicious sea breeze. Our waiter was freezing, so I had to pull open my jacket and pretend to fan myself. But as soon as we got back to our room I put on my wool hoodie!
6 years agoAre you serious about glorious burning sun?! In Belize it is freezing rain and wind! 19 C. Ok, I guess compared to Montreal that still seems tropical but brrr.
6 years agoThose look like spirit guides. Refer to the movie Coco.
6 years agoYes, and you get the same big tray and tongs and go after the pieces on your own!

6 years agoRepeat after me - guanabana, guanabana, guanabana........
6 years agoI 100% would have gone for the guanabana, not least for the joy of getting to say guanabana a bunch of times!

It is good when what you want to know lines up with what I know!
6 years agoThat's good and bad. It is good because you learn something, but it is bad because it inflates my reputation... In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. -Desiderius Erasmus - Or, as I usually say... My reputation exceeds me.
Lots of species of prickly pear are edible but few are grown commercially. I occasionally see them in stores here in southern OH, and even have bought them a few times... when on sale. In AZ, I would occasionally try one out in the desert, but had more glochids (tiny hairlike spines that grow around the base of the big spines) in my mouth than I would have liked. There's got to be a good way to get rid of them before peeling, but I never learned.
