I found out today I have Feijoa

no, it's not a disease. It's a fruit.

They're growing on a tree I have on the side of my house and never even noticed before. My landscaper saw 'em, got excited, and picked me a bunch. They're yummy! Sorta like a guava or kiwifruit. Pretty yummy!

I had no ideer.

6. Did you really?

Like I'd know whether some frigging weird California fruit would be poisonous or not?

NEVER listen to me. Now go pet that puppy and be happy you'll live to see the debate tomorrow.

I've seen people make jelly. It's a whole lotta work for something they sell at the market. I might as well make my own toilet paper.

12. I've never seen feijoa jelly at a market...

But maybe that's because we don't have feijoas here...
