I love fruits. Yummy! Fruits are healthy too.... think I can live on fruits alone. Of course, not the same type of fruits all the time though... Wink

shinta SG

dunno if its just me.. but the fruits i've eaten recently tastes horribly bland...

honeymouse SG

What fruits are they?

elindra SG

Kinda like us and yes we spend on costlier fruits like cherries & other berries (he likes blueberries)

I think we can cut down our bill if he invited the guys over less often (spend less on beer Laughing )

choco B SG

Those guys should BYOB sometimes Confused

shinta SG

apples n pears Laughing

hmm and honey dew n rock melon too...

honeymouse SG

May be they are just not fully ripen yet. All these fruits you mentioned are imported from other countries and to maintain their freshness and quality, they are picked and packed before they are ripen.

Try buying the fruits from other fruiterers and hopefully will have a better quality and yummy fruits since it will be from different supplier. Wink

elindra SG

Coz they are his technicians and SO is generous so he tends to buy the beer as a treat

shinta SG

i bought them from cold storage

Mad Mad Mad

they're either so ripe they're about to rot.. (ntuc) or they're... so.. not ripe.. Mad

honeymouse SG

I can understand your frustration.

The best thing is to eat the fruits you know are in season. Unfortunately it's hard to tell in Singapore as it depends if the fruits are from USA or Australia.

I have been buying nectarines and mangoes because they are in season here in Oz. Even so, they are not fully ripen so to enjoy the full flavour of it, I usually just leave it out (it's been quite hot here) of the fridge for a day or two for them to ripen. I love the nice "aromas" of the mangoes and they are really yummy too when they are fully ripen!!! I have got 2 at home waiting to be eaten Mr. Green

shinta SG

=(

i love mangoes n durians... but nel say strictly no durians at home...

mangoes are not that bad.. but i have to make sure there's no mango-ish smell on my hands or breath

honeymouse SG

I love durians too. If you can't bring it home to eat, just eat it at the durian stall Laughing .

We can't get the durians you get in Singapore and Malaysia here but only the frozen durians from Thailand.

Mangoish smell? You must be thinking of a specific species of the mangoes... "gui ni" is what my mum called it. They have a strong smell and flavour. I am not that keen on that particular one.

How's your jaw now? Thought you were going to the doctor?

shinta SG

my jaw's back to normal now...

the pain in the ear subsided too..

shytz... there goes my mc Shocked Shocked Shocked

any mangoes fit into the category... Laughing he just dun like the smell..

can't eat durians at stall too... the smell will linger for days.. unless i dun speak to him for days.. and dun get close enuff at all..

hisoka SG

dam should have brought durians to decorate your house

honeymouse SG

Good to know you're feeling better now. Very Happy

That's what I called a sacrifice (for love)!! How sweet.... Laughing

hisoka SG

i thought its more like ultimatum thrown down and observed?

shinta SG

Laughing

shinta SG

at first i didn noe he hated durian this much Laughing

he just siam away each time i tried to walk towards him

Wanda SG

I used to keep track but as time goes by, it gets more difficult, as each one of us would pay for different things now (no common pool of funds). Initially, I think we would spend around $35/week on food groceries and dinners outside (excluding lunch at work and household items). Would that be too much or too little?

I know I really should keep track ... Rolling Eyes
