12 May. What is it? Building and more...

One of our goals as parents is to help our children develop the habit of 'loving learning' during their days and lives. Yesterday one thing they learned out side of school work had to do with the first picture. Cory's first fruit of this type. Do you know what it is?

This week the church rebuild on campus made some progress with the lower walls being built. Don't know if they will continue or if the project will sit for a while. Until the church is usable the 'dorm building' can not be used for it's intended purpose which complicates the summer's conference housing.

School continues motivated by the countdowns [3 weeks for Chris and Kathleen, 5 for Todd's family/team] We found some time Tuesday to plant 250 Moringa tree seeds in cups for the Moringa Mountain project.

Cory's guys have been spreading rice hulls throughout campus so he's been working on editing the English version of the health book. He finished yesterday! I need to revise a couple of brochures about the health book and agricultural works that I should of had done already.

The boys and Jim say it is a cashew. I don't think that is a friut but that is there guess.

My son says it looks like a crabapple-pineapple. :)
I think it's a cashew, and if it is--Yum! Are you going to harvest and process them? If so, do you have to have a special place to heat or roast them so no one gets sick from the smoke? Or would you sell them raw to a bulk buyer? (Assuming, of course, that you are going to have a large crop of them.) I hope you have a bumper crop of them! :) Is the fruit good? It looks good.

YEAH for both comments. Yes it is a cashew-the nut being on the bottom of the accessory fruit, or cashew apple. Anna ate the fruit part-but it was mouth puckering I'm told. She ate it with miracle fruit too-because it was so sour.

We will not have enough for a while from our small tree to deal with processing them-the outer covering of the seed needs to be roasted to destroy the toxins.

we watched them being processed on bizzare foods, they also made juice from the apples. I love cashews. Yumm
