So we had a miracle fruit party today. . . yes we are a bit late for the craze, a whole year and a half late, but hey at least we got there.  I have to admit it was a very interesting experience.  From the ordering to the receiving to the berry eating to the tasting. . . got it from some dude in Florida “miracle fruit man”–exquisitely creative title. . . then I got a ginormous box filled with a block of dry ice and an itty, bitty package.  My first thought was, “I paid $130 for that?!?!?!?”  Into the freezer it went, freak I almost lost it in there it was so small.  Then came the dinner. . . Eugene, Julia, Derek, Wendy, Joyce, Rebecca, Aaron, Kim, Leigh and Tanya all join us for this. . . ehem, miracle.   We got the berry and stuck it in our mouth.  Rebecca must’ve been really hungry cuz she ate the berry so fast she needed another ;).  Eug and Derek got seconds cuz they weren’t sure that it worked.  Have to admit, it was pretty amazing.  I tried a lemon and it tasted like candy, unsweetened chocolate was amazing. . . but bitter melon was well, still bitter.  It did leave me a bit unsatisfied, all that sweet and no sour, it was like all the complexity was gone.  It would be nice if it only lasted for 15-20 min.  You know, eat dessert (a lemon or lime) and that’s all folks.  It would get me to eat fruit.  All in all a fun time. . . but guinness is still better as guinness.  Some things just shouldn’t be adulterated.
