KK,

Oh...Think of a Kiwi fruit...except blood red with seeds that crunch! It has a citrus-y tang to it...... They are wonderful!

I think some singing would be quite allright!

A prickly pear slushy would work!

Yes mario, the wheels on the bus go round and round!

[davidpizzica]

RICHARD, when I see one, I'll point it out to Orc then HE can pick it up and put it in the back of the bus. I hope it doesn't weigh too much or else the bus will be doing wheelies!

Persimmons! Such fond memories of when I was a kid, we'd go up to my Aunt's farm in Shasta County to help her with the fall harvest on her farm and then we'd go to the persimmon farms. It was such fun. I remember one year we came home with so many, my mom spread them all out on the rumpus room (remember those?) floor to ripen and then we'd have persimmon bread, cookies, pies, bread pudding, and just plain eating them out of the skin that God gave them. Whenever I see persimmons in the store it brings back such wonderful memories of mom cooking up a storm and the wonderful smells coming out of the kitchen.

So, a cuppa hot cocoa with extra marshies and a slab of persimmon bread hot from the oven. Yumm! I'm in heaven!

[DrKym]

All I want is a warm Blankie and a corner to hold my Nekkid Kitty.........20 yrs waiting...........finally a Shpynx....I promise to tend bar if one of you are willing to hold the DIVA???????

Gosh we can open persimmon seeds and see what sort of winter we are going to have. That's what our weathermen use, I swear! (moff crosses fingers)

Let's see: a spoon shape means, snow, a knife shape means a cold winter, and a fork means a mild one. (I think)

[DrKym]

Spoon is wet winter....Knife is Ice.....Fork is cold and windy.......................ooooops the witchy is coming out

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Spoon is wet winter....Knife is Ice.....Fork is cold and windy.......................ooooops the witchy is coming out

Well, here in KS one of them means snow, I just don't remember which for sure. I'm not up on my persimmonology!

Spoon is wet winter....Knife is Ice.....Fork is cold and windy.......................ooooops the witchy is coming out

I heard on the news that the Old Farmers' Almanac is saying that 2008 is going to be a warmer than average winter -- so I wonder what that translates to in persimmon seed-speak?

[cassiesmom]

Corn with mayonnaise and parmesan? I'm not sure yet whether that sounds good or not. Just a little olive oil and black pepper on mine, please.

Can this be a bee-free apple picking expedition? I'm allergic to insect stings.

lbaker, I LOVE mayo on French fries! I worked with a nurse who grew up in Wyoming and she got me started on that. Also mayo with just a little catsup mixed in. I don't eat French fries too often anymore, with or without the mayo.

[lbaker]

C'sMom.. saw a lot of the mayo w/ fries in The Netherlands but never tried it myself. I'll stick to fries with vinager (boardwalk style). And don't worry about the bees - I always have my bee kit (deadly allergic myself). Besides, this is Thursdays and no bugs allowed Well, Mario sometimes tries to bug people but that's just when he's feeling extra foolish.

[Cinder & Smoke]

There are vendors that sell "Mexican style corn" from push carts ...
They slather it in mayonaisse and shake parmesan cheese over it ...
Interested?

Now, iffin you leave the Salt off ...
that "Mexican Style Corn" is A-OK and Heart Healthy, right?

Thought so ... load mine and pour on the Pepper! ... (No photos, please!)

[Lady's Human]

Last time I was anywhere near a prickly pear I was picking spines out of my derriere. Please keep Mario away from them!

I'll take a LIIT, then another, then another, then another.......

My actual Thursday is going to be spent being nominated for a union office.


Now that I think about it, make that another, and another........

[Edwina's Secretary]

My actual Thursday is going to be spent being nominated for a union office.

Everyone! Join me in the chorus....

Lyrics:

Look for the union label
when you are buying that coat, dress or blouse.Remember somewhere our union's sewing,
our wages going to feed the kids, and run the house.We work hard, but who's complaining?
Thanks to the I.L.G. we're paying our way!So always look for the union label,
it says we're able to make it in the U.S.A.!


substitute the union of your choice!

[cyber-sibes]

Too late to join the picking party? I hope not - I just got done working!
I'd like a prickly-pear, persimmon & pumpkin smoothie, please!
I don't know about persimmons, but the huskies' winter coats don't seem to be in any hurry to grow. Maybe it won't be too cold this year. I've noticed when they grow a dense coat, you better plan to throw extras logs on the fire!
