Following are three things you shouldn’t do:
- Don’t take marital advice from someone who has been married and divorced six times.
- Don’t follow me into the precious metals market.
- Don’t order rambutan online and have it shipped to your house.
Rambutan
is a weird little fruit native to Southeast Asia. The fruit is small, somewhat
egg-shaped, and covered in a hairy, reddish, or yellowish skin that resembles a
lychee. Beneath the skin lies a translucent, juicy, and sweet flesh that has a
mildly acidic flavor, often likened to a grape. At the center of the fruit is a
large seed, which can be easily separated from the flesh. The seed is typically
not consumed due to its bitter taste.
Both Desiree and I were craving rambutan after a conversation somehow turned to them. Following that, Desiree plowed through some purchasing options on the internet and then ordered a few rambutan that were grown in Mexico and shipped from California. Unfortunately, it was a failed experiment. The fruit arrived in pretty tough shape, and only something near one in four were edible.
