Pants you keep believing that stuff, right up until you post your final photo. LOLOL

Heres another one I like to do with pasta. Have y'all seen broccolini? Smaller, thinner than the usual, thinner than most aspagarus.

Does anyone else here cook or go to the market except us three?

MOM, BS, you're the one that's retirement age pants Pants.

From fruit to desserts, whats the best one you've ever cooked, ever pulled off, regardless how difficult. . . . and don't tell me fig newtons.

Fuji Apples are about the best apples going I think. Crisp, sweet, juicy apples they are! But I wouldn't consider them to be new really. I've been eating Fuji's for about 5 or 6 years now.


When it comes to oranges, I just buy the biggest Navel oranges they have. Don't know if they're really new, but they've got some gigantic ones now.

Steve - O and others,

As many know I am now making my living in produce. I will have to take some time tomorrow morning and give you some break down on whats what in this dept.

Oranges - Cara Cara no thanks, go with the Blood, also known as Moro

Cherries, yeah they are a little pricey

Pink Lady apples just don't do it for me or many customers as are stores sales reflects just that. Fuji, Gala, Red Delicious, Cameo (great for baking and applesauce) and Granny Smith rule the roost in sales

TRY UGLI FRUIT! Its a mix of an orange and grapefruit, expensive, but great! Its green and ugly!

I'll holla back tomorrow about lots of other stuff.

Caj, my ice cream was delicious, and my drink will be good later for sleep.

I love those Kev, just don't want loads of Pants' quaco on 'em.

I love talking about food, I did the gourmet thing for a long, long, time. The entertaining and all that jazz. Now, I don't have such opportunities anymore.

Such is life, though I still love good food.

none of that green stuff for me.....not a fan of it....has nothing to do with the fat...just don't like the taste.

I entertain all the time. Sarah gets spoiled with treats and I eat whatever I want and normally include a glass or 6 of red wine too. It's a wonderful life her and I lead

My best fruit-based dessert is a Nectarine-topped Ginger Marscapone Tart with Peach Glaze thaT I make summers.

In the winter, I do excellent Baked Apples with Golden Raisens and Caramel Gelato or Poached Pears with Ginger Gelato and Hard Sauce. I also endlessly rely on Peach Melba, the forever monarch of fruit-based desserts...

I love baked apples, and the poached pears sound wonderful. And I prefer golden raisins always, they're better, especially whe soaked in rum.

Now, . . . one that I was known for . . . was a frozen chocolate terrine with expresso, Grand Marnier, etc, layered with chopped pecans, sliced and topped with fresh whipped cream and raspberries,

Another was a New Orlean bread pudding with lemon sauce and Chantilly cream.

Those were always hits.

I voted "Other, ellucidate." Though it is really elucidate. Hooves not available, so I'll mention that.

My other fruit is "$9 a gallon orange juice." Fresh right off the farm on Davie Rd, it's gone up from $6.50 during the last month or two.

Damn SNT, you must live in the "high rent district". Does the convenient mart that stopped selling your DRF carry this $9.00 a gallon OJ?

And Kev, my dog, Zo, she eats as well as I do. But, I can't give her booze. She loves sweet ice tea. And I too, love red wine, but she can't have that either.
