We finally tried dragon fruit—the exotic fruit with stunning pink skin and green-tipped spikes. It looked so inviting, so we couldn’t wait to dive in!
When we cut it open, the inside was just as beautiful—vibrant pink flesh dotted with tiny black seeds. We expected a burst of tropical flavor, but instead, it tasted like… sugar beet! There was a hint of sweetness, but the texture was off, and honestly, the only thing I liked was the seeds. Can you believe it?
Everyone took a bite, but none of us enjoyed it. We’ll be sticking to our trusty apples and berries, leaving dragon fruit behind.
What about you—do you like dragon fruit?

I like the Dragon Fruit drinks Starbucks make but it may be some flavoring vs the real fruit. I do see some pieces of fruit in there but I doubt it’s made with real fruit juice. Taste great in Summer.

It’s hard to know how much is natural versus processed…

It’s a big problem when shopping at Starbucks and the like. When I want to be sure, which is every week, we go to a specialty grocer where everything is fresh made with no preservatives and all listed on the label. That’s where we buy our meals for the week since I don’t cook. He has so many late night meeting almost every night so eat separatly, except last night because his meeting didn’t start until 9:00 PM. He has to work on the Japanese schedule.

Well, I can always let him outside whenever I want! He’s an outdoor cat, so if he’s not happy with the food, for example, it’s no big deal. 😄

No rodents for kitties! I think that cats should be kept indoors but whatever. Meow!!! 😻❤️

Indoors only! Out here in the countryside, with birds and mice—perfect snacks for a cat—my cat can freely roam, defend himself, and even catch a little treat now and then. He loves visiting the neighbor’s barn and often comes back smelling of fresh hay. I don’t think city life is ideal for cats, with so many cars, dogs, and other hazards. The only concern here might be the occasional fox, but he has plenty of safe spots to hide if needed. 🙂

I see, then kitty has a good life far from traffic. I’ve never seen cats running around this town anywhere.

Maybe there are cats, but they are taken off the streets…

Dragon fruit is all looks and very little taste in exchange.
