momo

*

it’s neither this momo, the fantasy novel written by michael ende,

nor that momo, my favourite moroccan restaurant in london.

it’s a pink stone-fruit.
i am talking about japanese peach called “もも momo” in japanese.

there was a nice and kind person (actually my ex-mother-in-law).

she arranged for a box of momo to be sent from a momo farm.

momo, is, possibly, the biggest, pinkest and juiciest peach on this planet.

i’d love to show you all how i relished pinkish pleasures.

first, i just ate it with a ruby grapefruit enjoying the pinks.

second, i experienced the almost ultimate bliss with a frozen “momo” daiquiri i made.

my son came and stayed with me from tokyo last weekend,

so i made bellinis to toast.

the following morning,

i made frozen “momo” daiquiris again for us.

this time, they came out pink, perfect pink!!

then we toasted again.

i am having some more fruits...plums? that is... this weekend.

have plenty of juicy fruits in season, everyone!
