oh happy day!

i'm back! kind of. i never really left but i have been very much avoiding this blog after becoming so very frustrated with editing it. and as you can see i didn't get to far with that. however today i have some exciting news!

it began much like any other, quite mundane really seeing as i haven't worked in number of days. but it soon became the awesomest day ever when i got to the local harris teeter's.

that's when i found these


"what are they?" you may ask.

only one of God's most precious gifts to us, tomates de arbol, aka tree tomatoes, aka tamarillos




i became addicted to them while living in Ecuador so much so that i may have even tried to smuggle them back into the country on more than one occasion.
but that's another story, the fact is that i've been looking for these small pieces of perfection ever since i came back from Ecuador. i've been to every latino market and specialty food store in the greater DC metro area and couldn't even find anyone who know what i was talking about. then today i was in the harris teeter just perusing the fruit aisle with nothing in particular in mind when i found them!

They make the most amazing juice ever known to man so for the rest of the night i'm just going to sit here and sip my amazing tree tomato juice and listen to my new favorite song, "Could We Survive" by Joseph Arthur. don't worry kel, i'll bring it with me for thanksgiving.

You should also look up Sufjan Stevens. He did this song, Lakes of Canada" that I really like and then while searching that, I found the group Innocense Mission, which did a cover of that very song (in fact, I like theirs better). Anyways, I think the singer of Innocense Mission may have been the one who did that Coldplay, "Yellow" cover that was on your ipod. Long story short, you should look into some Sufjan Stevens and som Innocense Mission. I think they are most likely quite in line with our musical tastes.
