bon bon, happy second-day-of-your-new-age (your birthday is not on the "Buffista Calendar", which I keep at my secret dark dungeons, so I didn't know, and missed it).
But from now on I'll probably remember it, or rather, remember that there's something I forget about this date, because August 22 is also my brother's birthday (well, not really. It's the general date of his birth, and he celebrates according to the Hebrew one, but still).
Happy was your birthday, Bon Bon!
This may be a stupid question but is a pluot a combo of a plum and apricot?
If so, huh. The one I had yesterday didn't seem to have any apricotian properties. It was just like a really good (sweet but with an edge of tart, firm fleshed) plum.

Yep. There are a few different combos -- pluot, plucot, aprium, and I think I'm missing one -- that are varies degrees of plum and apricot.

I am very secretive about my birthday, I know...I thrive on low expectations for things.
Happy Happy belated belated birthday birthday bon bon!
Happy Birthday, Franny!
(Today is freshman moving-in day on campus. I'm hiding in my office and refusing to go outside.)
I'd like to smite too.
Not today, though. Today I need to work out how best to communicate my need for a sick day despite having three meetings on my schedule.
I need to learn to accept that sometimes I have no choice. But that seems so terribly unfair.
bon, I'm not wishing you a happy birthday because you're a hider.
Franny! Who's a big girl?
Happy Day, bon bon!
Hil, I've also heard of a plumcot, but that might just be a "easier to pronounce than pluot" thing
I really like pluots, but agree they're more plummy than anything else. I prefer them to either plums or apricots.
Not that I can remember what a fresh apricot tastes like. But I sure do love the preserves.
And for those keeping track, fig preserves taste like guava jam. Wouldn't have called that.
Okay, lame email sent to boss. Back to bed for my head.
The only combination I know of summer fruit is of a peach and a plum. I have no idea what is its English name, if it has one. In Hebrew it's something like "pealum" (peach = afarsek, plum = shazif. So the combination is called afarshazif). It's yummy. But then, most summer fruits are.
ita, last weekend I spent at my parents they bought some amazing mangoes. I thought of you. I wished I could have shared them with you somehow.
