North American Fruit Explorers
Sounds almost unbelievably cool to me. I wish some of them would stop by in the fall and take away the 400 lbs. of quince that falls into my yard.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Katerina, if you live in LA, call these guys [link] If you live in the Bay Area, Village Harvest picks backyard fruit for donation to the homeless, poor and elderly. [link]

I'll take you up on that sometime, Laura. If I don't have MUMPS! Or ticks, I guess. And if my boobs get any bigger, I'm gonna fucking suffocate

NAFEX is cool and has a very informative listserv, but I should also put in a plug for a group I'm actually a member of - California Rare Fruit Growers. Despite the name, there are chapters and members in many places.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ooh, Spidra, thanks. My dad lives in the Oakland hills and has quince trees in his backyard that produce much, much more than he can eat or bake. And I suspect he's not the only one in his neighborhood groaning under an overabundance of perplexing fruit. I'm'a send him that link right now.
Un-mumpsy-ma to Erin.

Trust my rage
Okay, I just skipped 300+ posts...
Emily has might have mumps???!!! I just heard about an outbreak in Iowa.
Did I miss anything else? Life around here is quiet - it seems I have nothing to post about these days.

Heh. I checked out the Village Harvest site, and one of their drop-off points is JZ Cool Eatery in Menlo Park. I had no idea Chez Zmayhem had diversified their ventures into a cool eatery. Doubtless it's all very retro with a great soundtrack.
The only thing I know about cooking with quince is that they make great jelly. I like doing that, but NSM eating the stuff. Thus I have a jelly collection going back over several seasons.
