Mongo Mongologues #2: Squash, Hairy Melons & Blood Oranges

Our friend Mongo has spoken again and this time he discusses squashes, melon, and blood oranges.

"Got those little ma's from the Farmer's Market here in Silverlake(the yellow squash picture above). Very, very odd. IaM no know what they are. It's like a cross between a cucumber and a squash. They're kinda crunchy on the outside, but they have nice cool seeds like a cucumber on the inside."

"Blood orange(the other photo above). Very good for you. Anti-diabetes food. That one is from Australia. Air freight(expensive). They come into season here soon. About another month or two. They really, really good. They small. About the size of a big plum. IaM special connection on those when they come into season. Instead of $3.99/pound, IaM can get for 3 pounds for a buck. They can look nassy, too. I think the crop is not large enough for a store like Vons to buy in quantity. Armenian store seems to buy from farmer type guys.

They also got something else coming into season soon. IaM never had courage to try. It's a hairy brown melon. About the size of a football.

Why do you have a battery next to your oranges?

How tall is that desk or table? The wood grain is nice, though likely a laminate. Visit my website for deals on similar items.

Blood oranges are the only way to go if you are of the Goth.

GD, blood oranges? I dont know about all this.

I like oranges but they are tough to eat, with the peeing and all.

I am not sure hairy and blood are good things to bring into a discussion of foods.
