Bella's Guava

Mood: Delighted
Weight: 159
Last ate: Pineapple Guava

So it's just now been discovered by me that Bella's family has a couple of pineapple guava trees! Yesterday, after I made the discovery, Bella and I harvested some.

Having just eaten one this morning, much like one would eat a kiwi, I've decided that the pineapple guava is one of the best varieties of guava. (A lot of others tend to not be sweet and are often bland until you add sugar.) It's actually similar in flavor to kiwi, I would say.

As with all guavas, it makes an excellent jam, jelly or paste. I also read something about turning the paste into a flavorful "leather". (Think Fruit Roll-Ups.) That is something I had thought of before and this confirms it.

Little does Bella's family know, not only are the fruits tasty, but the flower petals are edible and can be used in salads!

So anyway, I had my interview on Friday. It went pretty well. Because of the haphazard, tag-team interview, there were a few situations I could have handled better. But overall, I feel pretty good about it. I did a followup call this morning, but neither of the people with whom I needed to speak were there. So I will call again tomorrow.

I guess I will call my employment agency and tell them I will be available all week. I might ask if they feel that I am qualified for any other positions. Having limited my area of where I can work, there may not be a lot of job offers for graphic design. I'll see what they can come up with.

I can't wait until Thursday. Bella has a paper due on Wednesday, so after it's turned in, we will be able to spend more QT together. Really, though, any time spent with her is quality time. I hate being away from her....
