First Pawpaw of the Year: A Pawpaw Split

We got back from a seventeen-day trip to Indonesia and Singapore about a week and a half ago, curious to see how the pawpaws had fared in our absence. There was a big pawpaw on the Shenandoah that had split open and then developed some scar tissue over its wound. NJ checked to see if it was soft and indeed it was. So we picked it and brought it inside. 

I cut the split portion out and put it in a bowl while working on cutting the rest of the pawpaw.

While I cut, NJ had a different view of the wedge that I had removed from the pawpaw, which inevitably led to...you guessed it--

It seemed like when she suggested it, I had a conjugal obligation to pose this way.

After those shenanigans, I took a slice...

...and she took a slice.

And then we...

...cleaned up.

And I started this year's Pawpaw Harvesting Chart. The first pawpaw of 2018: August 17th, Indonesia's Independence Day.
