I realize that it is a strong possibility, @flowerbug .
TEG has several members who live in or very near the nearest orange groves from my kitchen ;).
The start of orange growing country is only about 800 miles south of here by highway.
DW spent the first Fall/Winter that we dehydrated tomato slices eating them as snacks. We did quite a few batches.
The flavor was just fine, however I found them much too coarse for snacking. DW is someone who really likes potato chips but I'm just so-so on them. Now, a tortilla chip with...
Honeynut Cheerios on the baked Gala apple and raisins, oolong in the cup.
I'm wondering about citrus. We had a bag of Mandarin oranges that were quite good. Sweet oranges have a very good shelf life. DW is the shopper and doesn't like me along pushing the cart because I am, not only impatient...
Someone put this together and posted it on the internet. There's a lot of nostalgia here.

He recovered but was taken out of combat. Instead, he served as a guard in a POW camp. Besides the purple heart, he came home with a momento...
During all the years that I have had dahlias, i grew dahlias from seed only once.
Good success and I was pleased with the different blooms in the mix. Of course, they were late but I hoped to store the roots and have them bloom earlier in the following year. I don't remember how many tubers...
Okay, I've got my coffee ☕, now :).
Second breakfast, prescribed 4 hours after rising, oatmeal with cranberries, bosc pear. And, the First Laugh of the day. Thought of @flowerbug
Frustrated with this and that, this AM.
Bought a box of Special K "with real strawberries!" Good thing I had the baked apple and raisins already in my bowl before pouring the cereal. My 2nd bowl out of that box, "where are the strawberries?!" So much for trusting the corporations. Cut up a...
