Morning games suck

Yes, I have a few papaya trees in my backyard. Can't eat the store bought ones anymore. Because we can ripen them on the tree they are much sweeter. The ones sold in the store usually have to be picked before they are ripe because of bugs getting to them.

It's like that here on the mainland with corn. I always used to think that the term "sweet corn" was just plain weird. I loved corn, but didn't think of it as sweet, not until I had fresh picked corn over at my grandmother's house on the east coast. It really was sweet -- super delicious, totally unlike the corn I had growing up in Hawaii and elsewhere in the pacific. Supposedly it's like papaya in that it tastes way different a half hour after you pick it.

I gotta start growing tomatoes again or something. That's another vegetable that tastes totally different home grown from the flavorless mush you get in supermarkets.
