Any idea what the Vitaphone (in the Fancy Specials section) might be?
A talking dessert?

Someone else asked that very question recently! (I can’t believe that was just a couple months ago?!?! It feels like years…)

Looks like no one replied to them…

Felt like farting around in the kitchen and ended up with this:



That’s a charlotte filled with vanilla cream, raspberries and spiced poached apricots.

I have poached
the apricots
that were in
the icebox

I’m not sure
why you put
them there
anyway

Are frozen apricots
really something
you want to have
for breakfast?

Method 6 - leave as much of the stem intact as you can, so cut them off the vine instead of pulling them off the vine. Lasts ages.

NEVER put tomatoes in the fridge. Changes their texture to mealy.

Also, no onions in the fridge. And preferably not potatoes, but more importantly, never put potatoes and onions near each other. They set each other off to sprout.

Himalayan variety, if i recall! beautiful, big, juicy! those make some dense briar thicks and can take over a backyard! i used to love going out on a trail outside my Issaquah, WA home to fill a 5gal bucket in a couple of hours.
i was an avid home brewer then, even growing cascade hops up the side of the two-story house. i made a blackberry stout (all grain style) using those Himalayan blackberries. sooo good.
will you be making blackberry mead?

Mead is the plan for these berries. It takes about a gallon of berries for a gallon of mead. These were rinsed and went in the freezer. I’ll collect another half gallon soon. I probably won’t brew with them until the fall.
