peach... blueberry... apple... as long as you are not cooking blood pudding, I'd probably eat it.

Well, it looked so good, I wouldn't have expected it to last long. My Oreo Cheesecakes I make are usually gone pretty quick :-\

For sure. These peaches are from the western slopes [of the Rockies], picked & frozen at the top of the season last year. Every month or so, i'll thaw out a package to remind myself what good peaches taste like. Today though, it's in honor of a friend's birthday - we're gonna ride up and surprise him once it cools off a bit this evening. :)

Mmmmm, they sound good. I should try and plant a peach tree or two. I have to look up varieties that have some cold hardiness ( -10F to 10F range )...

I figure he probably didn't slow down under 90 when the splat occured.... so he is the only person I know who has hit a rabbit twice, once after it was already dead, and flying at him....

Have fun with that and share your experience when you return :-D Sounds like something I'd like to try, but not sure about 340 miles in 100 hours...

None, really. But out here in Southern California, there is a long distance running race called the Angeles Crest 100-miler. 100 miles, no big deal, but the highest point of the race is near the top of the 10,0064ft high Mt. Baldy.

Ultra-marathoners are certifiably nuts. I've run two marathons and three half-marathons. I would die if I tried to run an ultra, or DNF, which is worse.

Same thing here. I did do distance running a bit in high school on the track team, frosh/soph years, then moved over to the 400m/440yd middle of sophomore year, and stayed there. Wish I could have ran sub 44 seconds like Jeremey Wariner. I hope he wins the gold in Beijing.

Yes, we've been on a real gumbo kick lately. Using chicken, shrimp, andoulli (spelling is jacked up, I know), and sri racha hot sause with some okra, bell peppers, etc. Next time I wanna add catfish, crawdads ( if any can be found in souther Cal :rolleyes: ), squirrel ( plenty of those, just joking about adding them in :laugh: ), and a few other new items to try.

I was very angry because it took so long to destroy it.... I complained.... When I found out the delays in destroying the out-of-control-bird was because the instantaneous impact predictor (IIP) was updating too slow (1 per second) and they could only destroy it when it was aimed away from public.... I wrote a 20 per second version the next week. I don't like seeing missiles headed straight for me.... It's like a personal thing.... ;)

I just got a small basket of peaches from the farmer's market. They don't last long enough to even think about starting on cobbler. I can't wait until the blackberry canes start producing though.
This blanket smells like ham
