Ideally it should be a mutual thing; all ages spending time together, offering their perspectives to one another, and giving all of us a more balanced way of looking at everything. The older bring wisdom, the younger keep you laughing. <br /><br />~FaithFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491898004275353526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639463329089942340.post-82889206034748896922010-07-25T06:50:29.093-04:002010-07-25T06:50:29.093-04:00SM,

I just looked it up and I see that pin cherries are called choke cherries as well. <br /><br />Laughing here, I had to look up choke cherries and poke weed as I thought I'd heard some locals calling poke weed "choke cherries" as well. I've got that cleared up, poke is NOT choke cherry. What I also found out is that every time I though I heard people talking about Poke Salad, but they were not MAKING salad with it, I realize now there were saying Poke Sallet. LOL<br /><br />Good informative day for me. <br /><br />~FaithFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491898004275353526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639463329089942340.post-15563437106541137172010-07-25T06:40:38.451-04:002010-07-25T06:40:38.451-04:00Icebear,

LOL It's fast growing 20 - 40 years lifespan, so not good for lumber, but I wonder how it would be for firewood at a campsite?<br /><br />I didn't find the DD bagel to be any better than the bagels I buy at the store. Granted, I'm picky, squeezing the bagels to make sure they are soft and chewy. But our friends from NY were very excited about having DD bagels nearby now. Perhaps they need some practice as yet. The Bavarian cream doughnut was not good. They all had a plastic food display look to them. I was very surprised. But hanging out with friends and checking out the new digs was definitely irreplaceable. I need to take them down to the local bakery doughnut shop. They've got some really amazing doughnuts there, and the Bavarian cream weighs about a pound. LOL<br /><br />I hear ya! I've been trying to grow my own blueberries for about 10 years. I'm still waiting! But at 5 bucks a gallon and a day out with friends, its a pretty good deal for no labor during the year.<br /><br />~FaithFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491898004275353526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639463329089942340.post-90171341980020275002010-07-25T06:27:56.451-04:002010-07-25T06:27:56.451-04:00Alyse,

Michael, I'm sure, ate just as many berries, but his tongue did not stain, or it may have been a few minutes earlier.

And now that I'm typing this out, I can see she was carrying the black and white theme right into the cake as well. It was yummy!<br /><br />I think I've heard something similar about wild cherries being harmful to animals. I could never figure that out - because I was thinking they were talking about the wild pie cherries that are also common here. This would make more sense, if it's true.<br /><br />~FaithFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491898004275353526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639463329089942340.post-25928358223368266862010-07-25T06:21:57.676-04:002010-07-25T06:21:57.676-04:00Hey Lori,

I have some here as well, I think right in front of the house.

I used to own a hand chopper but it got lost I guess moving out here. That recipe sounds interesting. John made a face when I read it to him so I don't think he will try it.

They do grow fast, and if i remember right they are a brittle tree, prone to breaking like weeping willows, silver maple and box elder. They make a nice tree when they are small, but when it gets large and has branches hanging over anything valuable it might should be taken down.<br /><br />The sweet pasta dish actually sounds reasonable. I think it might taste like the part of a cheese and fruit danish where the pastry is more dense. <br />Food experiments are fun, and its surprising how well some strange things work out.<br /><br />I keep forgetting that Dunkin' Donuts are not ubiquitous in the rest of the country. My sister was pretty upset when they had moved to MO after having been in RI and MA for so long and surrounded by Dunky D's. There were none in MO that she ever found. I used to love their French crullers, but they discontinued them i think. They were profiterole type with a honey glaze.<br /><br /><br />Your parents' garden has some nice things in it, clematis and hardy dinnerplate hibiscus?<br /><br /><br />I have been invited to Pampered Chef parties before but never bought anything. They do have a nice two-piece trifle bowl i'd like to have some day. :o) I have to get the timing of party invites and money in the bank in the right order.<br /><br />The cake is very pro looking, and it matches their outfits!<br /><br />oh, and...<br /><br />I can't wait two years for blueberries!

They are not poisonous...but not too tasty. However...they grow very tall very fast. I believe 30 to 50 ft. So they might want to move it, but I wouldn't kill it. It is an interesting addition and nice for shade. Oh...and the birds love it. :0P<br /><br />Blessings, LoriCaptain Hook and Lady Crochethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083282415234268063noreply@blogger.com
