This is Chaulmoogra (Hydnocarpus Sp.). It is a legendary fruit that has been used for thousands of years to treat leprosy and at one point in time it was even grown by the US Govt. I have a full hour long documentary style video on YouTube here: https://t.co/2pwOInfzyz

This is Rosita de Cacao
Its a spice that was once used by the Aztecs to make chocolate drinks. I have a new episode about it here where I try the flower as a tea, in hot chocolate and in a chocolate bar: https://t.co/nCOqO3JAdK

Just got my 100,000 subscriber award... and yes, Vostok has already put her hair all over it. https://t.co/PqfhrSv531

Important. If you rub Vostok's belly while she's sleeping, she'll knead the air. https://t.co/tfFA8uMBJt

Did I mention that I bought TEN tiny hats? This one looks very dapper on this memento of my last kitty, Lethean. It was made by my dear friend Nata. Do yourself a favor and check out her incredible art at nata3787… https://t.co/PbuLByrv4w

It looks like that's all there is. The birds know now not to trespass. But still little Vos sits and waits.

Birding with Vostok.
In this shark jumping episode, Vostok encountered a wild chicken automaton. She heroically approached the mechanical beast, put up a good fight and then hid under the coffee table to prepare… https://t.co/zPYQGrFyTn

Pidgeon. This flying disease perched itself on our property, so Vostok immediately set off to work.

Time Out NY asked me what restaurant I am most excited to go to once we can go outside again. Little did they know that i've been preparing myself for this, on Instagram, for MONTHS. Here's the article

Birding with Vostok.
This troublemaker was on the fire escape this morning. With a terse scolding from Vos, it learned to fly and went South.

Birding with Vostok.
Today's bird is the Mourning Dove. This little trespasser was wailing away on the fire escape. It was so loud that Vostok had to pull herself away from sitting by the heat pipe to make sure… https://t.co/jFjRSE9ziS
