As I shopped for normal fruit like strawberries and bananas, I saw this crazy looking thing!!!
I don't know what the heck I'm supposed to do with a Dragon Fruit, but I had to buy it. Anyone know what I can do with it, besides slice it open and eat it? Or is that all you do with it??!!!!

You have some serious photog skills, woman!
I googled Dragon Fruit and here's what wikipedia says:
The fruit can weigh from 150-600 grams and the flesh, which is eaten raw, is mildly sweet and low in calories. Eating the fruit is sometimes likened to that of the kiwifruit due to a prevalence of sesame seed-sized black crunchy seeds found in the flesh of both fruits which make for a similar texture upon consumption. The skin is not eaten. The fruit may be converted into juice or wine; the flowers can be eaten or steeped as tea. Although the tiny pitaya seeds are eaten with the flesh, the seeds are indigestible. It is generally recommended that dragon fruit be eaten chilled, for improved flavor. Ingestion of significant amounts of red dragonfruit (particularly Costa Rica Pitaya) may result in a reddish discoloration of the urine and faeces.[5]
Dude- you've got some crazy fruit there!!!
Totally interested to hear what it tastes like! Apparently the inside is white! Cra-zay.
