    Are apples in Singapore expensive?
    A Filipino woman told me they were in her country because the Philippines does not grow apples. We forget what is ordinary fruit to us, is more "extraordinary" naturally/locally elsewhere in the world. I had a Malaysian roommate who once tried to sneak past Customs, 6-lbs. of fresh cherries at the aiport from Canada when she went back to Malyasia to visit. No, her cherries were confiscated.

    Yesterday was haywire eating, due to all-day planning session/meeting at hotel plus another lecture elsewhere in evening: both meetings on cycling. Thankfully did bike 36 kms. in total for 2 different meeting places! :

    Yesterday
    B (at home): oatmeal with skim milk, tea with skim milk, 1/2 of fresh dragonfruit
    B (at meeting after arriving by bike): 1 grapefruit juice, 2 slices of sweet coffee bread, 4 small slices of pineapple, melon and coffee
    lunch: multi-grain roll, tossed green and tomato salad, abit of bean salad, small slice of chicken breast with gravy, steamed baby veggies, slice of baked macroni, cheese and rice. 3 little desserts. Coffee. (Yea, tried nearly everything. Lunch was catered with cyclists in mind...somewhat.)
    Supper: very small square from dearie's thin-crusted fresh tomato, spinach & mozarella cheese pizza.

    at least 3 more cups of coffee and tea with milk, I didn't include in above list.
