so addicted!!!

17 years ago

Ok!

So I have been trying to pace myself eating all the goodies Maggie sent me. I like pistachios in general. Well I have to admit, I LOVE CHILI LEMON PISTACHIOS! She told me to keep them for myself. I made the "mistake" sharing them with my girls and they LOVE them too, especially my Abby.

WE ARE ADDICTED and NO TRADER JOES IN SIGHT!!! BOO HOO!

Stacey, although they are just "memories" now, we loved the chili lemon pistachios that goldgirl sent in our package, too. Maybe we can buy a truck load and divey them out!!!

JB - you will stop when you reach the point when you do not have timeto give them a good care. At fist you use all horizontal surfaces in the house, then you will graduate yo shelves with lights - and then one day you will see that they are not groomed properly, do not have enough space to grow beautifully, you didn't repot them for way too long - and you will make a decision - I will leave only named varieties, or I will collect chimeras only - or that's it - one in - one out. It just depends on how busy you are - I think retired people can have 1500 of them - and non-retired - 250 or about - before you feel swamped. Way to go Irina

Dream Fig
Q

Rafed, I am conducting cultivar suitability research on over 200 fig trees. I spend a lot of time on optimizing propagation methods too. My intent is to grow all of my fig trees in the ground. I wouldn't have enough time for my fig studies if I tried to build something to protect them. As it is now, I'm looking for more property so that I can test even more cultivars. There are many promising heirloom figs in Louisiana left to study. I am especially interested in those that have been re-planted by the owners (or their fore fathers) following repeated hurricane destruction as they usually turn out to be excellent figs......why would one want to re-plant a marginal tree? I found one heirloom fig that was re-planted by an old timer THREE times after the hurricanes killed each on of his replanted trees in each incident. He discared many named figs but kept this heirloom for its flavor.....not sentimental reasons. I ate figs from his mother tree. That heirloom fig definitely belongs in the "super-sweet" category and unlike any other fig that I have seen or tasted. I have a feeling it will turn out to be one of my best discoveries......time will tell. Dan

You adhere each piece using GE Silicone II for Windows and Doors. It's clear and just like the stuff you can caulk around sinks and bath tubs. You need to be sure you use enough and it's helpful to have all pieces facing down to avoid getting water (and thus, moisture) trapped inside. The Garden Junk forum has more info. As for winds, you need to be sure your bottom piece is wide and heavy. We get very, very windy days here and so far all of mine have done just fine. Garden Junk forum has other ideas on how to secure them properly. I have shown by neighbor's daughter and her friend how to make them and now my DSD wants to learn too! I am almost out of glass. Need to hit the Dollar Store, Big Lots and thrift stores again soon!

Gina sent me the Trader Joes White Corn Puffs in my swap package! DH and I couldn't get enough of these. They are so good! Then we quickly grilled some Tuna Steaks and used the Smokey Peach Salsa that was in my swap box. OMG... to die for.

Count me in as a lover of the chili lemon pistachios - I wonder if Fresh Market has them.. making mental note to look next time I go in there.

I can't wait for Part 2 of my swap box to arrive! I feel like a kid at Christmas. I'm not sure how Gina will be able to top what she sent in Part 1. I just love this swap box! My little bowls are used almost everyday!

Evil and delicious. It is not easy to explain our attachment to folks we've never met in person, our tight relationship to each other, and the things we share (physically or verbally) to outsiders; some get it, some don't. I for one, get a contact high. LOL

Bubbe, You said it so well! I feel very connected to everyone on the CF. I usually get the big rolling eyes from family members when I say "my friend on the cooking forum cooks a wonderful...blah, blah, blah." So I've decided they are missing out and I'm the enriched one. I no longer talk of you all to my family. I do have several friends that lurk on the site and can see why I have an attraction. Luckily my DH gets it as do my children, or so they tell me....

Boo Hoo is right. I've never experienced chili lemon pistachios. Since I'm not participating in the swap, I guess it's my own fault. :(

But - I sure have had fun watching everyone else!

Ann - when is the next one?!?!?!
