    New favorite fruit: the chirimolla

    Sometimes I find something I just have to share. Don't take just my word; Mark Twain said the chirimolla (cheer ee moy ya) is the "the most delicious fruit known to men". If you run across one, try it. They are expensive. I've seen them on-line at about 5 for $30. Even in a local Ecuadorian...
