Sounds OK.  With all that talk of durians, I got hungry, so yesterday,
when the local "Lucky Asian" got in supplies, I bought a 3 kg Thai
Mornthong which was ripe enough that it was just starting to
spontaneously split along a seam.  In the evening my son's girlfriend
came in, and wondered what the aroma pervading the house was.  I opened
up the split a bit and let her take a deep sniff.  She rolled her eyes
heavenward, and said, "That is wonderful!".
Damn!  Another durian lover in the family.  Now I'll have to share it.
