I love prunes!  Love beets.  Use chard like I would bok choy since I can get 
the chard but can rarely get the bok choy.  It cooks up nicely in stir fry. 
Love pomograntes anyway I can get them <g>  I make a pumpkin soup and 
pumpkin bread and pumpkin/oat/bran muffins, so I figure those cover all the 
bases.
