  • Delicious Monster

    Bought Monstera deliciosa at Whole Foods for something like $10. This is the fruit from which Delicious Monster got its name.

    It looks like a dinosaur penis (if they in fact had them) and is not the easiest thing to clean. Tastes like a mix of banana and pineapple.

  • You Put The Beer in the Coconut

    I pick my houseplants following a simple rule: they either have to be very exotic or they have to be edible. Preferably both, like my pineapple plant.

    A couple of months ago I purchased a coconut plant, complete with the coconut it grew out of, all for something like $10 (at IKEA of all places). And this morning I found a bonus – overnight a few mushrooms spontaneously sprouted in the same pot.

    Do you think these are poisonous?
