Breadfruit and Bedspreads

 A L O H A From Honolulu!
When you come out
of the storm you
won't be the same person
that walked in.

is all about. Haruki Murakami

These are such an iconic shape that
they are a popular Hawaiian Quilt Pattern.

Breadfruit, (Artocarpus altilis),
tree of the mulberry family
(Moraceae)
and its large fruits that are a
staple food of the South Pacific
and other tropical areas.
Breadfruit contains considerable
amounts of starch and is seldom
eaten raw. It may be roasted, baked,
boiled, fried, or dried and
ground into flour.










The breadfruit is a superb tree,
about 60 feet high, with
deep green, shining leaves,
a foot broad, sharply and
symmetrically cut, worthy,
from their exceeding beauty
of form, to take the place of the
acanthus in architectural ornament,
and throwing their pale green
fruit into delicate contrast.

Your pictures of breadfruit are really cool. Pixie looks like she's wondering how to eat a whole breadfruit.

Don't stand under a breadfruit tree. Fruit weighs 0.25–6 kg. So up to 13 pounds.

That is one stunning quilt.
I have heard of breadfruit but never eaten it. And have been blown away by Isabella Bird's adventures and writing.

Lovely photos and quotes.

What a lovely quilt. And the upside down canoe was fun. What a lot of alcohol, too. Thanks for sharing Pixie (with lots of love), your lovely photos and quotes and the Hula Bar with us for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.

Love that upside down canoe we have a restaurant in Stillwater that has one over their bar. It's delightful too! Aloha to you and Pixie.

Your pictures are always very interesting, but I especially like today's. The quilt is fabulous and I really didn't know much about breadfruit so very cool to learn. The bar with the canoe looks very fun. Happy T-day and Hugz to you and your sweet kitty!
