Harvest

Everywhere I look around the island there are pawpaw trees laden with fruit. Except in our garden. We have five trees and a few months back one tree finally managed to squeeze out a fruit. I’ve been watching that pawpaw’s growth like a vegetarian hawk. Watching it grow. Watching it stubbornly remain green, week after week. But at last it turned yellow, signalling the time of harvest was at hand…
Ideas are welcomed for what we should now do with it. Eat it raw? Blend it with crushed ice and vodka? Maybe bake it with brown sugar and serve it with ice-cream?

You must have a pretty good life if your hardest choice of the day is what to do with your pawpaw...

I say go for crushed ice and vodka.
