Get Out and Play Challenge 3: A New Fruit!

 

 

 

 

 

It’s Salley again! I have been doing really well on my challenge to get active for 60 minutes a day but I decided that if I really want to do this thing right, I have to improve my eating habits too. I do eat lots of fruits and vegetables but I thought a fun way to challenge myself would be to make myself try at least one new fruit a week. I told my mom about it and last night she brought home a dragon fruit. It was really weird looking – red on the outside with big green-tipped spikes, and a bright white flesh with tiny black seeds – but it was pretty good. Not too sweet, and the seeds had a kind of nutty flavor.

So I guess you could call week one of my ‘Try a New Fruit’ challenge a success. I wonder what kind of fruit my mom’s going to bring home next week.

            I like grapes. I am super picky. Cannot have lemonade with pulp or ANYTHING with pulp. It makes my tongue feel… fuzzy. Like it’s coated with acid. And then my eyes start watering and I just get some water. And the strange thing is – I’m not allergic!

            Huh, I don’t know what to try. I’ve eaten dragon fruit a few times before, eaten lychees and this weird thing called “dragon eye” in Chinese like a million times, and eaten starfruit a couple times before. Really don’t know what I should do, but this seems like one of my favorite challenges they’ve offered yet.

            I love all fruits except for tomatoes… and… EGGPLANT. :P
