Greetings from Copa Yam Thailand.

Where it's hot, sunny, and the cashews are in bloom.

Actually they're not in bloom, they're ripe, it's cashew season.

You may not know this, but cashew is actually a fruit.

It's about the size of an apple.

Looks like an apple, I'm looking at them right now.

I'm sitting on the rooftop of our bungalow and there's a big cashew tree right next to

it.

And the cashews are red like apples and each fruit has the nut hanging from the bottom

of the fruit.

I posted a photo of one on my Instagram account, so if you follow me on Instagram, that's

what you saw.

Pretty interesting, I thought they came in clusters of nuts or something like most people,

but no, it's like imagine each apple has one nut on it, that's why cashews are expensive.

Plus the fact that the fruit, the skin, the husk of the nut, the juice inside the fruit,

all these things are very caustic.

When you process the fruit, you have to be very careful because it'll burn your skin,

it'll fuck you up, it'll get in your eyes, it'll really mess you up.

It's almost like processing chilies like habanero or something.

Anyway, interesting cashews season here in Copaillum, which reminds Cassilda very much
