Ciao Ciao! Hope life is treating you well! I am enjoying my time and wishing there were more hours in a day, the silly wish of every busy human!
I am always on the hunt of new disoveries in the food section and I was seduced by this gorgous gift of nature. Tamarillo "Nice to meet you!"
The flesh of the tamarillo is tangy and mildly sweet, and may be compared to kiwifruit, tomato, or passion fruit. The skin and the flesh near it have an unpleasant bitter taste, and usually aren't eaten raw.
And had the pleasure to meet for the 1st time the Horned melon which is an African cucumber! Quite impressive for a cucumber!?
Didn't get it, don't know what to do with it??!!
Will let you know if Tamarillo works in a smoothie ;-)
And Look who found us!
How can anyone resist? His mom left him. He lost his brothers and was much smaller when he came to our door;-( He needed a good wash, food & lots of love
We named him Bob the survivor ;-)
Kayan, my littlest boy has a play buddy now when his broZ are at school!
In The chemistry of emotions one of the main tips to create a good chain of reactions in the body/mind is marked by tenderness and concern for others.

Ooooh!
Now back to the food! I was nicely surprised to find RAW sesame seeds , it's as hard as finding raw cashews!
Open sesame!
I can make raw Tahini (sesame seed paste) since I am not a big fan of canned food! The healthiest choice would be tahini made out of raw hulled sesame seeds, with nothing added, subtracted or refined. If you've never used it, now would be a good time to begin. You will be able to make many dressings, soups and main courses that take advantage of all tahini has to offer. Just keep in mind that the raw version is the most
clean & nutritious.
I can make raw Hummus from scrach with raw soaked chickpeas! Yum!
But instead of making Tahini or Hummus I made a much better version of the Asian Jin deui .Took me few minutes to make this sesame chocolate truffles, packed with yumminess for the whole family.

Yummy! Congrats on your new family member, Bob.
Hellooooo, did someone say chocolate? Those truffles would be a nice addition for the holidays. Thanks!
"Bob the survivor" – well, okay then. Bob sure is a cutie pie.
I'd be interested to know how you like the tamarillo. I've had them when I was in the Andes, but don't recall ever seeing them here in the States. FYI: the yellow ones are a wee bit sweeter.
ChocolateOrchid Thank you! We are Bob Marley fans;-) He is naughty tho!! have to train him to potty skills!
Earth Motheeerr! What a NICE surprise (;-)}
Playing with chocolate is good for the soul!
Tamarillo is ok! very tangy! Don't know if they could be riper, sweeter!
I ll try in smoothie & see what it does to the greens!
I ll keep my eyes open for the yellow ones!

Oh wowsers to the cute kitty and to the lovely veggies and that dessert. Yumbo. I have to try and find me some raw sesame seeds now :)
Heya Fabulous ;-} The dessert is worth the try!
Should be easy to find raw sesame IF the distribution on the Saudi Market is the same everywhere!
