    thank you alll for your comments, really appreciate them.
    @ where2 - both dragon fruits have the same sweetness. the red ones are rich in antioxidants and also contain lycopene, which helps reduce risk of prostate cancer. the white /yellow ones contain allicin which helps prevent certain cancers

    I had to take a break. I went overboard on the blog reading and had to take a break. :)

    What are the green leaves in the glass? Are they part of the dragon fruit or leaves of the coconut?

    That dragonfruit is gorgeous!

    It is that slightly creepy, Barbie doll whose legs sit inside the roll of toilet paper, her usually crocheted skirt hiding the spare TP roll.
