[SR] Pomelo Strider and Calf

Had some delicious pomelo. Remembered the monthly prompt. In hindsight, this is the sort of thing that I should have multiple passes on (truthfully I can't justify the cost of multiple fruits- I can only eat so much and importing puts a premium on comfort fruits) BUT I think I learned a lot from my single attempt.

It's quite relaxing! Like... uh... processing meat without the blood and iron smell that sticks to you for a while. Better tools will serve me well (obviously) but with only a craft knife and a kitchen scissor (optimized for chicken flesh) I think I managed pretty well! Despite how light it is and for how thin the flavedo is (relative to an actual gourd), the albedo is thick enough to support "layering." In theory, anyway. You make cuts into the flavedo and then progressively slice at the layer behind it depending on how thin or thick you want it to be. I went too deep around where middle of the thickest areas, but it makes their heart looks like they're glowing. Let's heart bond with mama

You can't remove the flesh as one would do with a gourd, so you'll have to cut a line top to bottom on the side you're not going to use. I tied it up with plastic twine(?) I think it's called.

My poor craft knife... Hoping the pomelo oil doesn't rust it because I still have a model kit to do in the backlog...
