guayabas in the window


I love guayabas. . .
 I know, I know, the seeds are bothersome-I just ignore the seeds and savor the exquisite aroma and taste;
in English we call them guavas-but I like to say guayabas.
So, I bought a bag of guayabas in the Cuautempan market and lined them up in the window to ripen.
My grandchildren love guayabas too-
after a few days they each ate one, leaving the 2 biggest and tastiest for me. . .

oh, i love them too! and I didn't know that one should eat AROUND the seeds...for some reason, they're the one seed I can eat (unlike watermelon seeds...ick!). And buying them at the market is such a treat. The ones I remember eating were the ones we would pick (or Luke would pick?), always a bit too hard, but picking and eating them anyway because if WE didn't, someone else would get to them before they were perfect.

it never occurred to me that we could just put them in the window to let them reach that perfection!
