Sweet Tooth

As has become my habit, I took a brief walk early this morning despite the stupid furnace in my neck and head, itself stoked by an already hot, humid day here in south Bali, and ended up on this occasion at the warung of the ancient old lady who sells fruit. We had a nice conversation and I bought five mangis (mangosteen) and three jeruk (oranges). A cute little white puppy who lives next door to the warung continually cavorted about my feet and it was revealed in due time by the ancient fruit seller that what he wanted was a sweet bread. This is a little bun filled with what they call kacang hijau, or green peanut sauce), and it indeed proved to be his favorite snack. Sweet tooth, like any other toddler!
