O.K., I'm confused.  Lynda's VERY short growing season is in
California and the huge slugs, world famous, I might add, that I was
complaining about are also from California.

Hmmmm, I don't remember any of my step-daddy's cousins only eating
cornbread, brown beans and grits when we visited them in TN.  I do remember
that was the first time I ate bear (yummy in a stew with dumplings, turnips,
rutabagas, red potatoes and smoothered with onions).  I got the recipe
for the apple cobbler, which I still use, only I use English walnuts, not
black walnuts because they are hard to get up here.  Oh, and breakfast was
really yummy.  We had buckwheat pancakes with maple syrup, sausage patties
and strawberries and cream from the cows we milked that morning.

Now, if you want to talk about bugs, ask Toni about the size of the skeeters
where she used to live in California.  I'll bet y'all thought those were
helicopters that we had flying around out here <g>

And ya really don't want to send folks to California, <<eg>> folks out here 
eat lots of really weird things like sushi and calamari and tripe and 
truffles.  Why for breakfast you  just might find them drinking wheat grass!
