Fridayshootouts.blogspot.com: Texture

http://fridayshootouts.blogspot.com/

What a great gift we have to be able to feel the different textures.

When my kids were little, I used lux soap and made slime, and also made play dough. They had great funny. In school, when I teach the letter W and J, I make up some jelly and the kids recite wibble, wobble, wibble and then squeeze the jelly. You can see the enjoyment they have.

In this post, I am showcasing fruits grown in South East Asia.

The Dragon fruit comes from Vietnam and is grown in Malaysia. The fruit has scale like skin, hence the name dragon fruit. The plant has long spiky stems. Nobody would dare wake this sleeping dragon.

The little oval yellow fruits are called rambutan. Rambu in Malay means hair. The fruit is hairy, and you remove the skin/shell to eat the fruity fresh inside.

The wooden panel is made of rollers which my Mother in Law uses to massage her feet. The texture is hard, and is meant to stimulate the blood vessels to encourage the blood to flow.

This pineapple is one foot long. It is the Sarawak pineapple. Sarawak is my birthplace in Borneo. In this region, this fruit is reputed to be the best pineapple.


Pineapple skin is usually discarded. They are useless. In the Philippines, they now use them for making paper. My sister in law believes in organic and health food. She makes a brew with fruit skins especially citrus and pineapple skins with some sugar. The resulting brew is added to her floor cleaning detergent. This brew serves dual purposes, it removes the artificial harmful chemicals in the detergent and gives a fruity fragrance to your floor and room.
