devohoneybee at 07:47am on 11/07/2010from a street vendor salad i got yesterday:
fresh large chunks of the following:
fresh young coconut
watermelon
mango
orange
pineapple
jicama
cucumber
cantaloupe
honeydew melon
tossed with salt, red chile powder, and the juice of tiny lemons that he squeezed with a tool like a garlic press, but for tiny lemons. (i had him hold back on the salt, but i'm including for accurate reportage of the options -- it was great with just the lemon juice and chile powder.)
served in a plastic bag with the top rolled down and a plastic fork.
DEE-licious.
i'm thinking any fruit salad, with the chile powder, salt, and lemon dressing, would be amazing.

By the way, about the mass extinction thingy, don't be too worried (well, only as worried as we should already be about the stuff we're doing to the environment, which is worrying enough). From what I'm reading, it's possible, but not highly probable, and then there's also a question of the magnitude of the event, should it ever happen.
I think we have short memories and too much greed. But here's a link that may be a bit more cheering about the human capacity for sustainable survival:

PS - the whole plastics thing is scaring me so much that I'm wondering if I should travel with a wooden bowl and a metal fork for any takeaway!
