What ever you do in life (cure cancer, end world hunger, travel to Mars...) avoid trying ube or anything ube-flavored at all costs. If you see this innocent looking purple melon-fruit in Asia or in any Chinatown world wide treat it like an illegal addictive drug: don't do it. That's right. Because even if you are thinking of trying it don't. I thought I would be brave and cool but really I just ended up looking like a jerk. Ube is not one of those foods that you realize you do not like but, for the sake of appearance, you finish what is on your plate. No. It's not that simple: ube is the food that you spit right out into your napkin and try to scrape off of your tongue. This juvenile behavior is then promptly followed by a vigorous tooth brushing.
Now Becci and I are going to enjoy some Portuguese-style bakery treats from one of the three bakeries right out side of the building...which one will it be?!?
...sounds fun.
