oh, nasty

i accidentally ate durian, the gross fruit i thought might make me puke. well, it didn't make me barf but i didn't enjoy it! it tasted and smelled like a natural gas leak (from the sulfur they put in it) and something else gross and vaguely like garbage. i was not paying attention when the lady asked me what dessert i wanted and i ended up with sticky rice covered with coconut milk and durian. sticky rice and coconut would have been delightful, but the durian ruined it. now i will pay closer attention when i'm getting dessert.

on a brighter note, 2 new foods i quite enjoy:
1. something in the rice krispy treat family, but way better. no marshmallow, something like caramel instead. also has peanuts, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds. its more gooey, not solid like rice krispy treats. delightful! the lady at the market who sells this stuff, she knows me now.

2. imagine something like an elephant ear, a round of fried dough but not super cripsy. then you take that hot fried dough, drizzle it with condensed milk, roll it up like a burrito, and sprinkle on sugar. then eat. oh, its delicious! i think this could be a big hit in the states.
