Rollinia and Malay Apple

I was looking through my posts and realized I didn't blog about this craziness. It kind of feels like a turf ball, but the inside taste like a keylime pie. It's found in Belize, but you won't ever get this in the states because after a couple hours after you pick it, it wilts and isn't edible anymore. It's called a Rollinia... The little red thing in the back ground is a malay apple (not sure how to spell that). That is kind of sweet with a white center.

JaCeKa - Mediterraen Vegetable Couscous

Saddest thing... my dad and I decided to play chef about 2 months ago, and I wrote the recipe down, but now.... 2 months later, I lost the sheet and forget what was on it. It was DELICIOUS!!! Incredibly rich and just umm good. Here is a picture of it. I'll try to tell you what was in it, but it could be completely wrong, and I don't remember the amounts.

Diced eggplant
artichoke hearts
onions
canned tomatoes
kalmata olives
cumin
olive oil
lemon juice
cayenne pepper
allspice
Parmesan cheese on top (this was VERY VERY STRONG cheese. I found out later that I'm allergic to it. It makes my geographic tongue act up. Sad because this was some incredible cheese.)

on top of garlic and pine nut couscous.

Man it was so good. I'll see if I can duplicate it.
