This is grapefruit and limons and a banana related product that gets served fried. I don't think he called it plantains but not sure what it is. I decided to work on the fruit for a three fruit marmalade that may have 4 or 5 fruits in it. I cooked an orange and lemon mixture and let it set overnight. I am going to try using that for the water part and let the peelings and other fruit sit in it overnight. Tomorrow I will cook it for a couple hours and add the sugar and finish it. I did cut up and cook the guayaba. I usually have 7 cups of pulp and sugar. This time I had 12. I ended up using 2 pans - after it boiled over. What a mess to clean up with cold water. Thank heavens I was in the kitchen when it happened and I could turn it off right away. I am a little concerned that it will thicken all the way. I hope so since it was such a big batch. If it doesn't it will be guayaba syrup.
You wouldn't think a guayaba falling from the tree onto the roof could make so much noise! If Heather thinks my snoring is loud, wait till she hears this!
I ran into Emelio in the Super last night and told him about needing a translator for the second class and he said yes. We will get together before the 23rd for a lesson so it is easier for him at the class. Then it will be the 29th and Heather and Courtney will be here.
It's 4:00pm and so far no rain today. It has been lovely. Lots of drilling and pounding going on as they work on the new apartment across the courtyard. Just a little over 2 months and John and Debbie will be here too. Maybe, I'm not getting excited yet or anything, my friend Kaye and maybe her daughter, Beth, will be here Dec 7-13. That would be so neat. We would all have so much fun. Then the next thing you know it will be Dec. 15 and I will be heading for Heather's. My how time flies when you are retired!
