December 29

Mongoes (also known as Mung beans) was on the menu for dinner last night.

I have ALWAYS hated these....and I am not sure why. My mother had a rule to deal with hate foods. You got one hate-food, and when it was served you had to eat two bites of it, and that was all. My two older siblings picked squash and sayote (also known as chayote), but I hated mongoes!!

It is interesting to note that both these items were veggies....

Peach Picking

Yesterday we went peach picking!!My mother found an add on Craigslist for free peaches. The people who owned the trees had picked off all they wanted to use and were offering the now speedily rotting fruit to anyone who could use it!
We packed up some bags and boxes and headed out!
My brother--the monkey!The more dexterous ones climbed up for the tippy-top-of-the-tree pickingsInstead of picking up peaches, the younger ones began pelting eachother!!!And my view of the peaches :)We did, however make quite a few quarts of delicious jam to eat and give to friends!!!!!!
