Being Marooned [Thursday, June 10]

"Hello, mateys!" Jack greeted the class cheerfully from where he sat on a fruit crate. "Today we're going to talk of foragin' on your new island, otherwise known as 'How hungry will you be before you eat a durian?'"

He held up the fruit, which smelled like shit. No, really emitted a pungent aroma. He swung his hand around at the coconuts, crabs (which were trying to escape), mangos, and papayas.

And then at the crude spears he'd fashioned. "Or you can try to catch yourself a sea turtle," he said with a laugh, "but that's high level pirating there."

They're putting in a new furnace system today (mm, home ownership), so I'll pick up tags around 4 pm.

I love Bourdain's description of durian's smell. "Your breath will smell as if you'd been French-kissing your dead grandmother."

How can they possibly even THINK about eating the crabs if they don't have any Old Bay?
