Chayote, the Anxious Vegetable
Whilst perusing the produce at the Buford Highway Farmer’s Market, I saw a green item that caught my eye. It looked like an old man without his dentures, so I giggled and had to buy it. The sign overhead told me I had picked up a chayote, which I later found out to be a member of the gourd family.
Upon further review I think my green gourd actually looks really nervous.
Unfortunately, I photographed the chayote then put him in the fridge and completely forgot about him until he became speckled with brown spots. Since he was never eaten, I don’t know what he was so worried about in the first place.

Take a second look.
He is sleeping. Quite peacefully, too.
