Does anyone grow Pummelos here?
Q
Comments (19)
I'm not sure, but I think one of the reasons true Pomelos have such little popularity in the United States is because supposedly they need more prolonged heat to ripen to full sweetness. (So when you do see Pomelos, you typically see hybrid varieties like Chandler that was bred for maximum sweetness) And if you look at the history, grapefruit was bred to be more cold hardy so that it could survive in places like Florida and Texas that experience occasional frost years. It would be very difficult to commercially grow pomelos in these places (except in limited areas like Miami and Brownsville). There shouldn't be any worries about frost in the Phoenix area though since it has a very mild winter climate. Americans are not familiar with Pomelo and when they do see one they typically just think it is some kind of Grapefruit. Pomelo is very popular in Asia though, particularly Southeast Asia, where it existed long before Grapefruit started being grown in Jamaica and Florida.

Does anyone speak German? (mystery bean)
Q

It's a green pole bean, stringless. It's an older variety and I've never read something that it's a hybrid. Grow it like every other pole bean. I can translate the text prolly a bit better than google :-) Mid early variety with long, almost straight, thick-fleshed pods with a good taste. High vigorous growth with plenty of leaves. Resistant to burn spots (anthracnose). For fresh use and canning. Prefers calciferous soil rich in humus with good water supply. Poles should be 50 cm (= 2 ft) apart and 6 to 8 seeds per pole 3 to 4 cm (1 1/2 inches) deep.

Speaking of chocolate....does anyone remember this dessert....?
Q
Comments (26)
I googled and supposedly this is the recipe that's on the box: Recipe: ICE BOX CAKE: from the original on the wafer package Ingredients 1 package Famous Chocolate Wafers Heavy Whipping Cream Vanilla Flavoring Sugar Whip the cream in a cold bowl Add one teaspoon of vanilla flavoring and sugar to taste Whip cream fairly stiff before spreading cream between the wafers Lay wafers to form a log Use remaining cream cover the log Refrigerate for at least 4 hours Cut diagonally into 10 to 14 slices so that dessert has the appearance of being layered. If you prefer individual servings: place four or five wafers together in a smaller log. Information from Amazon regarding wafers and shipping: Case of 12 9-ounce boxes of chocolate wafers (108 total ounces) Made from enriched wheat flour, cocoa, coconut, and chocolate No trans fat; low in cholesterol and saturated fat Crispy and mildly sweet; try it for chocolate crumb crusts and other recipes These wafers were introduced in 1924 by Nabisco tina

Does anyone here have a blog?

I knew I should have clicked on this thread yesterday! lol Jaybird, I was the one that led Corey here. I felt bad for the way she was treated - then banned. Hers is one blog (besides AM) I check on every single day. If you haven't read in awhile, go back a few weeks and read about their motorcycle trip. JaneF had asked to use my kitchen in KWL. Several months later, she asked if I was interested in writing a shopping post once a week. It's fun, but sometimes takes longer than it should to write. I tend to find an item, then get interested in something else.....then something else, etc etc. lol funcolors, I am following you on Twitter. Look forward to checking out everyone's blogs!

Derry, I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. Go over to the Garden Web Gardening sections and post on the Southwestern gardening forums. There is bound to be someone on those forums that can write in Spainish.

Derry, another thought, if the patients in your hospital are more from Cuba and the Caribbean, The Florida Forum might be a better spot. I thought it was interesting that your hospital was trying to encourage the bilingual nurses. Someone might be delighted to work with you if the knew what you were doing. They might be a little skiddish about someone just wanting a pen pal.

There is also a Spanish Forum, but I think that they would most likely have poorer English skills so that might not work as well.
Take care!!
