inspired by:
• the luminous red nova of the monoceros (unicorn) constellation (v838 monocerotis) [1]
• cactus blossoms, especially saguaro [2] and prickly pear [3, 4]
• snakes as mythological bringers of life and light (hail satan :black_sparkling_heart:)

Prickly Pear (Opuntia) Fruit Beginning to Ripen in the Garden This Week
As summer winds down, the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia) is starting to ripen its fruit. I have 5 large cacti in the front and back garden, and they have reached maturity, so our harvest of fruit has been growing each year. Today, I spotted over 40 fruits at various stages of ripening. I am guessing they will all be ready for harvest once I return from a 2-week trip to Australia in September.

More prickly pear processing!
This time I made all the decisions so I’m quartering them and stewing them with no other ingredients. Ideally fresh lemons, but probably just some citric acid if I can find some.
I really miss having access to a steam juicer as this would be the correct tool. Food mill and chinois will do.
Also the colloquial American name for chinois is still “china cap”

I suppose the other pictures are interesting as well. All the skin and seed waste is going into the wash and the end of our front yard for the quail and friends to nom on. Hopefully sprout a couple of new stands of opuntia
