Fruit Dinner

After the search online, the picture above shows a type of fruit called Golden Lady or 金姑娘(pronounced as Jin Guniang). There are many other names known according to local nicknames; they are姑鸟果、酸浆果、长生果、金灯果、菠萝果、姑娘果、燈籠果、龍珠果、圣女果、金珠果、洛神珠、洋姑娘、香姑娘、布谷鸟、含羞果。The fruit is commonly found in the northern region of China. Similar in size as a cherry tomato, it is yellowish green in color and sweetly aromatic. In the form of a palace lantern, the fruit is hidden inside or exterior wrapped around with 5-leaf like layers similar to the wing of the dragon fly.

This is what happened when getting sick and tired of cooking and cleaning everyday.

See how dishes are dumped into and piled up in the sink.

All day Friday today, though TGIF, I was in my petulant mood not wanting to commit to working professionally and this started from the very beginning of the day.

Finally, it's over.

Rushing home just now and on the way picking RMB48.50 worth of fruits, yes, all fruits for dinner tonight.

No need to wash platters but exclusively indulging in these fresh and delicious fruits for dinner tonight.

I am elated and gratified.
