Guava for breakfast.

Guava has just the right sweetness. It's our Vitamin C. Good also for cooking 'sinigang' or broth. You'll surely love the taste. Avocadoes are best. Fleshy and tasty. Sometimes, I put milk and refrigerate the avocadoes and have it later for snack. Yum.

@eileenleyva I don't get used to eat it anyway

@youless What about kiwi?

The seeds are very tiny.

@eileenleyva not sure what sort of guava we had before but I'm guessing it is the Philippine guava.

@allen0187 Yup, Philippine guava is crunchy. Had another one this morning. Ha ha

What I have is the common Philippine guava we find in every yard in the rural areas. I prefer the softer and sweeter Chinese guava. You must be referring to the huge apple guavas that needs to be sliced first before eating. That one is really good and crunchy.

Yes, for cash withdrawals. Foreign currency. Our ATM for Philippine pesos are down to minimum limit. Nope, no online grocery system. But we could pay G-cash and cards.

@rakski We only have Puregold in our vicinity. But thank you for telling. I will ask my daughter to do that.

@eileenleyva you can try purego, merrymart and metromart for online groceries

@eileenleyva what about e-wallet and cards? Usually bank services don't stop during lockdown as they're also essential. Only over the counter services are limited.

@prinzcy The bank closed. My ATM was down to limit. Need to go over the counter for the passbook withdrawal.

Lockdown for two weeks. Hopefully, the bank opens tomorrow. Our metropolis is in a severely dire CoViD-19 situation.

Fruit-bearing trees are always dependable. All the fruits that are in season now could actually feed all eight billion people around the world. Several mango trees on my street alone and the fruits are wasted.

@eileenleyva I’m impressed!

@DianneN

Two week pandemic lockdown. Guava and aratelis are common in tropical countries.

There are actually an abundance of fruits enough for all the citizens of the world. Even if one eats just one fruit a day, no one will get hungry. Guava has a unique tropical taste. A little less sweet than an apple or a pear.

Guava fruit drink is really refreshing. I have not had the pleasure of enjoying guava pastries yet. I don't think our bakeshops carry the product.

Strange dip for a guava but each to his own taste. I used to like green mango with shrimp paste or bagoong. But some of my classmates like the vinegar with salt concoction like yours.

@Lucky15 It's the Pinoy taste.

@eileenleyva i like mango with bagoong too

Indian guava is a little reddish in the inside. Bigger than our local Philippine guava, I suppose the Indian guava is yummier. Is the Rs 20 expensive?

@sathviksouvik I do not know what a roughage is.

@eileenleyva Thanks Eileenlevya it is within purchasing power of buyers. It is good for roughage.

In season now the guava is. Am sure your guava tree has lots of fruits. Come home.

@thelme55 Yup. Hopefully next year.

@eileenleyva How I wish I can come home now but you know how it is this time.

Gosh, how many guavas did you eat at a time that rendered you constipated? Really funny. But I like the scenario you described. It's the simple hometown life we all love. The fruit bearing trees are all around and all we have to do is pick and eat.

@ZedSmart That's the kind of life I like. I love the scenic provincial life. I like climbing trees, sitting on bamboo benches, drinking coconut juice, watching a carabao pull a paragas, use a nipa hat beside the nipa hut, etcetera. I also love watching young people - suyuan sa tubigan. I'd stay on that guava tree and eat guavas, and if I spot someone courting his lady love, I'd play cupid and throw a guava. Ha ha

@eileenleyva I can't remember but two is not enough as I stay up in the tree until the dark set in. I will always try to spot ripe fruit which I did not fail. I miss the life there. Everything is so simple but there are abundance of food that you do not need to buy. City life has price in everything.

Yup. I love aratelis. In fact, I replanted my tree from a ficus tendered by the birds just a couple of years ago. The maiden harvest last year was a glorious therapeutic activity that got me through the early stages of the pandemic. Recent study by a high school student from the Visayas showed how aratelis is good for diabetics.

My blessing today.

Yup. How amazing our God is that He continues to love us in spite of our selves.
