How To Open a Durian
Singapore, 1984. Purchased 1# of ripe durian pods. Triple ziplock bagged creamy looking flesh. Stored in hotel room.....did not know that was illegal. Returned to discover an deeply violating, unholy odor permeating the hall from behind my closed room door. Quickly removed offending package to the rear building parking lot, lit only by floods and fireflies. Attempted to spoon flesh into my mouth. Attempted to swallow said flesh. Expectorated flesh and half my supper supper on the ground....did not know that was illegal in Singapore. Sealed the zip locks with a shaken hand, hurled the package out into the dark over the rear chain link fense, thereby breaking a third (no littering!) Singapore law. Total fines evaded....$3000. But the room.....would....not....air....out.

I was introduced to Tuaca in the "Hot Apple Pie" cocktail. Hot apple cider, cinnamon stick, Tuaca, and whipped cream. Excellent by the fire on a cold night.
