Meeting you was pure frosting. You're tiptop.<BR/><BR/>Sam: Let me share with our readers how knowledgeable you are about odd foods. You recognized the seabeans in a trice. (I will be your purveyor, BTW.) I'm really flattered.<BR/><BR/>Garrett: No kidding? Thanks! I couldn't really give you precise recipes, but you should know that these were "quick pickles"; i.e. not processed. Aren't you a vanilla-garlic experimenter?

I cam back later for the samphire, green beans and okra. Didn't do the bluebabies.<BR/><BR/>All were excellent and truly innovative. I would say that you have created a true classic in the samphire/sea bean and in the cherries. I also like the other three I tried very much - particularly the okra (even though you didnt like it so much, I did and my SO thought it the BEST of them all - she's from Georgia and liked the crispness and lack of slime).<BR/><BR/>Anyway the biggest treat was meting you and Cranky.Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657138602451739371noreply@blogger.com
