One of my coworkers left thier loquat tree harvest on a common table. I spied them until they were on the cusp of ripeness, then I greedily grabbed them all. This is what having a dehydrator is all about.
To successfully dehydrate them, you have to cut off the ends, take out the pits, peel out the pit skin, and carefully skin it. I didn't do the last step, so my loquats are going to be a bit on the chewy side.
I only cut my loquats in half before I stuck them in the dehydrator, so it took them about 16 hours at 135degreeF.
There is something incredibly beautiful about the pits. I couldn't think of anything to do with them, so I just threw them away. I hope a beautiful loquat tree grows in the dump where my trash goes.
I envision using these babies in my breakfast granola and yogurt, and also in general for my 10:30am and 3:30pm snack.
Lately I've been watching and re-watching old movies. Its so easy to get content nowadays when its so cheap and easy to subscribe to massive online movie databases. I get exhausted reading descriptions and being discriminating. I decided to re-watch some oldies but goodies to relieve both the stress of a particularly stressful week at work and the stress of poring over hundreds of descriptions to terminate a movie earlier. In particular, I've rehashed Breakfast at Tiffany's, Roman Holiday, There's No Business like Show Business, How to Marry a Millionare, and The Girl Rush. All in the past 3 days.
I just can't believe how skinny those glamour girls are. Everyone always talks about how curvy Marilyn was, but she is quite lean, almost unnaturally so. I'm not talking about Marilyn from The Misfits, either, I am talking about Marilyn from How to Marry a Millionaire. She had a weight range from 117 to 140, and people call her a curvy sex pot. Thats nuts. She is a thinspo, if anything.

Bringing it back around, I don't think I can look like that buy eating dehydrated loquats. Her diet consisted of raw eggs in warm milk, skipping lunch, lambchops and carrots for dinner, followed by a hot fudge sundae. That is essentially an old timey atkins diet.
Also, she didn't exercise much. five pound weights when she felt like it, that's it.
I just don't think I could live my life like that. For one, I don't eat meat, and I am so borderline vegan that eggs and milk are out of the equation too. And no exercise? For me exercise is more of an energy level thing than a beauty and fitness thing.
So I suppose I don't want to have that body. Mine is an instrument, and that is good enough.
