This was day one, eating soursop under a tree in the fruit orchard. We could use some help eating all this food, SuperForesters. Who wants to come play?

Hey SuperForest,
This struck me sideways! Hailing from Tasmania, 22-year-old Joshua Engwerd, a very keen gardener and all-round romantic guy, has developed moulds which make for heart-shaped strawberries; an idea he thought of for his girlfriend.
The first Australian commercial crop of heart-shaped strawberries, fittingly called Seduberries, will be harvested in Tasmania next month. Josh says he got the idea after recalling an article about Japan’s cube-shaped watermelons (below).
Unreal, isn’t it? The watermelons were grown in glass boxes, and the fruit simply assumed the same shape. And if you missed this episode of the SuperForest Show, check it out over a plate of regular-shaped s/berries or w/melon. Yay!
Fruit rules,

Yesterday I was browsing through instructables (heaven!) and came across this little beauty of an idea.
It seems that all one needs to create a beautiful and fragrant oil lamp is a knife, a tangerine (clementine), and a small quantity of olive oil (or other type of combustible.)
Here’s how you do it:
1.) Get all necessary parts.
2.) Make a nice lateral slice (like a belt) around the tangerine.
3.) Carefully peel, taking care not to tear or rip the peel. It is important to leave that little bit of white stringy stuff at the bottom as it will serve as your wick.
Should look like this.
4.) Fill the “bottom” with olive oil. Can also use lamp oil, vegetable oil, mineral oil, whale oil, mink oil, ferret oil, or banana oil. (I made a few of those up. Any oil will work. Try crude if you can get it. Jokes!)
5.) Trim the “wick” down so it’s approximately 1/8th to 1/4 inch above the oil.
6.) Light, put the “hat” on and enjoy!
7.) Most IMPORTANT: Don’t leave this deceptively benign candle burning unattended, as the moment you do, it will explode, covering everything nearby with hot, burning oil. Jokes and jokes! Seriously, don’t leave it burning and go to the deli for custard. It will burn your situation down and you will cry. And then we will cry when we find out what has happened.
These pictures all come from instructable user bluesky, who got the idea from apartment therapy.com
