| 1444347 | 2018-01-05 01:07:00 | Fruit from our local New World tends to be unripe and rock hard so we buy a couple of weeks in advance and let it ripen, which is what you see in the picture. There are actually 3 piles: rock hard, ripening nicely (those two categories on the bench), and the third category ready-to-eat but in the fridge. That regimen applies to pears, kiwifruit and nectarines. Our other fruit is oranges, bananas and grapes for the grandchildren, and walnuts (The supermarket - just today - seem to have ended the season for Packham pears and kiwifruit. We will have to go to the weekend market for a month or two...) |

| 1444348 | 2018-01-06 06:19:00 | Montana gets a lot of it's fruit from Southern California . Southern California, in truth, gets IT'S fruit from South America - picked too early and not even near ripe - and lets it ripen about the boat, treating it with poisonous gasses to turn them bright colors . IN-side --- the fruit's hard like a potato and tastes about as good . I was eating big red - hard apples that had no taste and just thought "Hey - I'm getting older now and I can't taste an apple or a peach or a pear or cherries or grapes - so it must be ME!" Then a friend invited us up to 'help harvest' her apples in Chihuahua Valley, SoCal . We went and I picked a few before I grabbed one for myself . Ohmygod! The flavor was so intense that it blew the top of my head off! It wasn't ME - it was South American fruits and veggies that have no taste at all! FWIW: we put an apple in a brown paper bag with some bananas to help ripen the bananas . The apple gives off some of the residue 'ripener chemicals' and helps the hard bananas get ripe . It's cheating, I know - and who knows how bad for us the chemicals are - but ya gotta die from SOMEthing ---- right? . |

It's cheating, I know - and who knows how bad for us the chemicals are - but ya gotta die from SOMEthing ---- right? . Um, as far as I am aware the apple gives off Ethylene naturally as it ripens, over and above any residual gas . The same effect is obtainable with a cabbage leaf or two as well . "Ethylene is produced from essentially all parts of higher plants, including leaves, stems, roots, flowers, fruits, tubers, and seeds . " "During the life of the plant, ethylene production is induced during certain stages of growth such as germination, ripening of fruits, abscission of leaves, and senescence of flowers" From our old friend Wikipedia: . wikipedia . org/wiki/Ethylene#Ethylene_biosynthesis_in_plants" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org |

I just stood in the middle of the room and slowly MOOVED around with my iPad. Joe, there was something else MOOVING in the video, did you not notice the owl on the window ledge? LL |
