List my top 5 favorite fruits.
This is fucked. There are WAY TOO MANY incredible fruits to just choose five. Godammit.
Okay…Passion fruit, number one. Truly. I am obsessed with passion fruit. I want it in my smoothies, I want it in my desserts, I want it in my belly.
Second: Apple Bananas. They’re tart. They’re creamy. They’re tiny. GODAMMIT I wish you could get them here in the states. You can find manzano bananas here in LA at the 99 Ranches of the world…but they are not the same as the apple bananas from Maui.
Next up, I think I have to go with Nectarines. Plum mixed with a Peach? LETS GOOOOO. Fuck me, I love a good, ripe-but-not-overripe nectarine.
Fourth: we’re going with berries. Raspberries and Strawberries are neck and neck right here. Blueberries RIGHT behind them, and then blackberries—the native norcal ones much more so than the bigger, more common himalayan varieties—boysenberries, thimbleberries, huckleberries, loganberries…I grew up on berries. I’ve always loved them.
And then finally…I have to go with mandarins/tangerines/any type of small orange. Big oranges, too, so maybe I should just say “oranges”…but truly my favorites are the tiny little packed-with-flavor varieties.
But there are so many more! Cherries – obsessed. Get them every year when they’re in season. Apples! My very first favorite food. Big bananas. GRAPES. My god, grapes almost made this list. They SHOULD have made this list. Watermelon. Pineapple. Fuuuuuuuuuck. Fruit is the best.
Great question.

The Warriors’ season is over. They couldn’t muster a win against Minnesota. Podz had a great game. He proved his case to stick around. But we need far more depth. We need an offensive and defensive identity when Steph isn’t available. We need a couple more 16-game players. We’ll see what the offseason brings. Steph is only getting older, and injuries will only increase from here on out.
Got my pages written today. I packed. Currently transferring over all the files I need to take with me to work up at my parents’ house on Friday. It’s all good in the hood. I’m really, really proud of how much I got written over the last week+. Really, really proud. I’m back in the game, baby! Feels good. One more push day of writing tomorrow, send that shit off to my cowriter, and go see my parents for a couple days…
Then back at it 🙂 No more big trips for a bit.
Night night!
