#feijoas — Public Fediverse posts

Good morning tooters. Another really big pea soup fog this morning, in fact it’s foggier than yesterday & so far there is no sign of it clearing & everything is very wet outside. Surprising for me, I obviously have more feijoas left on the little tree than I expected as there is a big fall of them outside. I’ll grab them once I’m showered & dressed. I’m dawdling with that job this morning as I’ve been doing other things. Changing sheets, washing sheets, cleaning shoes, dismantling cardboard boxes for the bin - basically just mucking around 😂.
It was 8c when I got up & today is only getting to 16c. The fog is supposed to clear to some sun but right now I can’t see much further than my neighbours roofs.
I am feeling pretty good this morning but I am going to do my yoga class again. There is an ongoing niggle with my back lately where the spine was fractured, it often feels like a pointed ache on the spine bones rather than a muscle problem. I’m dealing with it but feel it’s something I may just have to get used to. It’s not debilitating, I’m just always aware. It is what it is!
Have a great #Friday everyone, stay warm & safe out there, wishing you sunshine 🌞🌻. #Weather #HouseWork #Feijoas #Exercise.

Good morning tooters. A warm night again & 12c when I got up. Lots of low cloud & morning fog today, we also finally got a bit of rain overnight. Enough to make the ground very wet which is good. It’s going to get to a pleasant 18c but I doubt there will be any sun appearing.
As soon as I got up I had jobs to do. Now that it’s colder it takes a lot longer for my kefir to ferment & that was ready to be decanted & re-fed. My feijoas had finished dehydrating & I removed all of them & put them into a container - natures lollies. Then I got everything ready for the next lot which I’ll prepare after my shower. They are much tastier without the skin so it was worth the effort. I wonder if I could make feijoa gin 😃 - something to look into for next year maybe!
I did my yoga class in my lounge room yesterday rather than the spare bedroom. I can chrome cast it to my old tv, something I’ve only just discovered. There is actually a little less room in the lounge to allow some of the movement so while I found it worked reasonably well the only real bonus was having the larger screen. Back to the spare bedroom 😁.
Have a lovely #Wednesday everyone, stay safe, stay warm & I hope you have sunshine 🌻🌞. #Weather #Feijoas #Kefir #Exercise

Good morning Fedi friends. It wasn’t exactly a cold night last night, 8c when I got up. There’s cloud around but there’s also sunshine & it’s actually getting up to 20c which will be nice.
Picked up a large bowl of #Feijoas when I got home yesterday & more have dropped this morning. Had some with yoghurt for dessert last night, but the dehydrator will be coming out again later today. I’m going to peel them this time, time consuming but I think it’ll be well worth it.
Slept so much more comfortably in my own bed last night. My shoulders don’t hurt anymore & my back feels a lot better too. I walked a lot over the last couple of days so a day off any exercise is planned. Rest & reset.
A person is come from a local maintenance firm to assess my shower stall this morning. Fingers crossed things get done this time. After they leave I am planning to take some lunch down to my daughter who is studying today & have a catch up chat.
Wishing everyone a happy #Monday, hope the sun shines for you 🌻 ☀️. #Weather #Feijoas #Dehydrating #Home #Family.

Good morning Fedi friends. It’s a glorious sunny morning, just an 8c start & a little mist around but now the sun is shining & will stay that way. Heading up to a lovely 17c, perfect for working outside or even just sitting with a book & a cuppa.
The feijoas finished drying at around 3am & I dealt with them when I got up. They shrink a lot, which I did expect & I have a container half filled with hard little fruity discs. I could have shortened the time so that they’d remain pliable, but then they wouldn’t keep as well. I’ll crush & sprinkle some on my chia porridge & I’m sure I’ll find other uses. I’m happy with the first effort anyway & there will probably be another lot drying in less than a week. I picked up a bowlful that dropped during the night. Some of these will be given away, some I will eat.
I heard from the maintenance people early today who have received work order to look at the bathroom issue. They’re coming on Monday morning which works well for me.
Not much on the agenda today, this is a quiet week for me which doesn’t often happen. So another at home balance class & then I’m going to enjoy that sunshine & watch the grass grow.
Have a great #Wednesday everyone, stay safe & stay warm out there🌻. #Weather #Exercise #Feijoas #Dehydrator #Maintenance #CHL.

Good morning tooters, welcome to the weekend. It felt a little cooler this morning but according to the BOM it was again 6c & there was some light fog around. The sun is only just starting to appear & the temperature should get up to 21c.
Not going anywhere today, not doing a great deal of anything actually, just a little housework & my lovely Yin yoga class.
More of my feijoas have dropped & despite eating quite a few they are starting to drop faster. I will give some away to my sister tomorrow for her to share but I’m going to have to start making things with them.
My younger sister rang me from Adelaide last night, she is coming over for the next long weekend in early June & staying with my older sister. My older sister is the reason for the visit as they haven’t seen each other in a long time. The call was to ask me what she should expect now that our older sister is mostly bedridden. We talked about the practicalities & it should be fine. My niece is also coming with her & as she has a disability that also had to be taken into consideration.
Hope you all have a lovely #Saturday & enjoy your day, take care out there 🌻. #Weather #Exercise #Garden #Feijoas #Family

#Feijoas, AKA pineapple guavas, are native to New Zealand and apparently very common there, but they also grow just fine in California. The trees are super productive and we have two of them, so this time of year we get deluged with feijoas. For anyone else who may have this not-so-terrible problem, here's a #recipe for . . .

#Feijoa Crisp

2# feijoas, scooped out of their skins, weighed AFTER draining off all the free-run juice
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp powdered ginger
4 tbsp + 1 tsp tapioca starch

Combine above ingredients and pour into a 9" square cake pan

1/2 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
2/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2/3 cup toasted chopped pecans

Whisk together first four ingredients. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter (or two knives). Stir in the oats and nuts. Spread over filling. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Cool at least a little before serving; it's actually better cold, IMHO.

#RNZ has an article this morning on why feijoas are so much more popular in NZ than other countries. It sounds like they don’t make many fruit in most gardens in Australia, due to the cultivars planted (and presumably the climate).

When life gives you feijoas, make feijoa muffins. 😀

I found a feijoa recipe online at justamumnz.com and it’s scrumptious.

Mmm. It’s autumn time in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, and that means the feijoas are back! I just got back from visiting my sister and return with a big bag of fruit from her two feijoa bushes. It looks like it’s going a be another good feijoa year in the city. #nz #fruit #feijoas

I ended up buying some feijoas last night. They came to almost a dollar each. If I ever have my own place, I'm going to grow my own feijoas. #feijoas
