I have no idea what this is!
No clue how heavy it feels or how you cook with one!(I'm assuming you cook it somehow)
But, nonetheless, the bean is a jicama.
Which means that he is about 3.75 pounds and 16.7 inches long.
Drew and I were both amazed over the weekend at how much he MOVES. His parts are constently pushing my belly in all directions. I don't want to push back too strongly, but I'm astonished by how hard his back (?) head (?) shoulders (?) are. I have no clue what parts are so hard, but it's very impressive.
The bean has fewer than 8 weeks to keep growing inside me. That's unbelievable! I love having him safe in there, but when his time is up there will be a hasty evicition.
Consider this your notice.
At this point he still needs to gain more weight and develop the lungs a bit more, but all other systems are a go. Nice job, bean.
Can't wait to meet you love bug!
We explored this "jicama" thing in my weight watchers meeting a couple weeks ago. When you eat it raw, it has the consistancy of a raw potato, but kind of reminds me of an apple (taste-wise), just not juicy at all. A cup of it is 0 points, which is music to the ears of a weight watchers participant. I haven't seen any recipes for it yet!
