I haven't done any canning in years.  Too much of a pain at my age.  It's difficult to find ripe peaches in Costa Rica......sometimes I find them in Panama.  It's hard to find anything ripe here because the turnover is slow and the grocers can't return fruit to local growers.

Don't get me going you two...peaches and pears...two items I put up with home canning!!  Peaches as Brandied Spice Peaches, and pears as these sweet, blush pink cinnamon pears (usually halves) that you eat hiding in the closet as soon as you crack open a jar because everyone comes out of the woodwork to share Hahahahaha!!

I want pears......Bartlett or D'anjou.  I have a Bartlett on my console right now.  It has to ripen a day more.

That was wonderful

The fruits. The jewels.

Peaches are my favorite  fruit of all time.

“Ol' man Simon, planted a diamond. Grew hisself a garden the likes of none. Sprouts all growin' comin' up glowin' Fruit of jewels all shinin' in the sun. Colors of the rainbow. See the sun and the rain grow sapphires and rubies on ivory vines, Grapes of jade, just ripenin' in the shade, just ready for the squeezin' into green jade wine. Pure gold corn there, Blowin' in the warm air. Ol' crow nibblin' on the amnythyst seeds. In between the diamonds, Ol' man Simon crawls about pullin' out platinum weeds. Pink pearl berries, all you can carry, put 'em in a bushel and haul 'em into town. Up in the tree there's opal nuts and gold pears- Hurry quick, grab a stick and shake some down. Take a silver tater, emerald tomater, fresh plump coral melons. Hangin' in reach. Ol' man Simon, diggin' in his diamonds, stops and rests and dreams about one... real... peach.” 
― Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends

fish sandwich is ok for me in an emergency...plain no sauces etc....no clue what is in them or how long out on counter...and that cheese is probably processed

Rarely will I eat at Burger King but sometimes I get a real hankering for a Big Mac or a fish filet sandwich.

Burger King and Mc Donalds are places I will never stop at even for coffee

too processed and fatty for me.when i take a road trip there is always a bag of apples along with me along with coffee and water

when I stop at a motel  ( that has morning breakfast..with fruits ) i make sure there is a casino or other good dinning place...

you do not need a lot of food driving,,just good music, directions will do me

Julieta wants to role play.  She wants to be Burger King and have me be Mc Donald.  Then she can have it her way and I'll be loving it.

Women aren't particularly moody.  They just have some days that they are less inclined to put up with your shit.
