There are other things that it would be better
not to inquire about.

Best I just forget about any possible skeletons in closets.

Probably best, though most of these are not
even figurative skeletons.

Of course one could take off the California growers'
labels and paste on one's own - that has been known to
happen too.

All of our growers are local to the area; I think no more than a 50 mile (might be more or less) radius from WF.

It would be nice if one could be confident about
all the merchandise also being local in origin.

I think you would enjoy our local one--thinking of one vendor in particular who's a real character. (G)

Looking forward to it - maybe.

Just a bit of warning about this guy. I'll weigh out a half pound or so
of green beans--he will throw in another good sized had full for free.
If your purchase totals up to say, $3.00, he will ask for 300 pennies.
One of these days I will take rolls of pennies to pay him. (G)

One doesn't think of blanketing things like that.
My Italy friend Jim lost some 30-plus-year-old
rosemary trees (no longer bushes) during a
particularly hard freeze that nobody was prepared for.

These had survived for some years before we moved in, and about 3
winters of our living there but I guess the last winter was a bit too
cold, too long for them.

Happens. Word has it things like that will
happen with greater frequency.

Of course, galaktoboureko doesn't require
anything beyond a 350 oven.

That would be done inside, in the range.

Figured.

Without regular strengthening exercises and making
sure his bone density was all right, the sudden
exertion might not have been the wisest thing.

He lived to be 2 months short of 96; the dog had passed away about 5
years before he did, age unknown.

Good longevity there!

Steve eats it tho, in various forms.

Have you ever had fresh fresh coconut, especially
immature fruit? Might improve your attitude towards it.

Doubt it, the smell is part of the turn off.

Funny. It's a pretty standard saturated
vegetable fat smell.

OTOH, this is more to my liking--and easy on the sugar as well.

I don't go out of my way to append recipes you'll
use, rather ones that might in some way be relevant
to the post itself.

No, but sometimes you get something very appropriate.

Hi Michael,

There are other things that it would be better
not to inquire about.

Best I just forget about any possible skeletons in closets.

Probably best, though most of these are not
even figurative skeletons.

Let sleeping dogs lie, then.

Of course one could take off the California growers'
labels and paste on one's own - that has been known to
happen too.

AFAIK, this is all local so you shouldn't have any qualms about buying
local at our market.

I think you would enjoy our local one--thinking of one vendor

Just don't tell him that. (G)

Either that or we'll all not need our winter jackets, boots, gloves,
etc.

And I do have on hand most of the ingredients list that you sent to
Nancy. Send me a list closer on to the picnic so I can double check.

He lived the longest of any of his family. I think the next longest
lived was 88 and some months.

I've never smelled an immature coconut.

We tried a new to us Chinese restaurant the other day, a bit closer to
where we live, got Happy Family and shrimp egg rolls as take out.
Decided we like our usual place better. But, we wouldn't have known if
we'd not tried.
