was hanging out on the back porch. (I was so freaked I didn't even bother to get the camera so I stole all these photos from the Internet.) Do you KNOW how BIG these things are? I haven't seen a bug this large ever except for tarantulas and they were always in aquariums or on TV. But this one was a few inches from my toe. I could have stepped on a bug this big:
That's three INCHES long. Three. Inches.
EW.
But, there was something even worse in my kitchen last night. Papayas were on sale this week so we picked one up to try - never had a fresh one before - and when you cut it open it looks like this:
Like barnacles on a pier, only creepier. And since it was ripe the flesh was very forgiving and once in a while one of those seeds would move or fall out of the rind. Gave me hives to dig the insides out. And the best part - it tastes nasty. I don't know what has been done to the canned ones I've eaten but the fresh one was like soft, juicy, moldy cheese.
Ew, ew, EW!
This is me, and maybe I should stick with cereal and milk.

EWWW!!!!!!!! One thing I don't miss about the south is all the roaches, blah. But those things???? AAAAKKKKK!!! And strangely, papayas always sound like a good idea until I realize the taste nasty. But the name is so purty, maybe I'm always expecting a mango?
Sometimes, when trying new things, you are not rewarded.
Seriously? That's the inside of a Papaya???? BLECH!!!
Girl, go get you some good yummy something or other...whatever comes to mind when you think of the word 'yummy'. :)
