PawPaws

Have you every heard of or seen Pawpaws.  The taste like a cross between bananas and mangos.  Our friends have a tree and don't like them so they told us we could have them.  They have three trees.  The deer clean them up every night so we only got what was on the trees.

Pawpaws and the seeds out of one.

The only bad thing about them are the seeds.  They are like the seeds that used to be in bananas when we were younger the banana seeds were small so we just ate them.  But as you can see pawpaw seeds are not small and they are scattered thru the fruit.
Alan said that this is the only citrus fruit that will grow this far north.  I am going to try planting some here and at Brad's.

Strip District of Pittsburgh

On a raining Saturday morning we decided to check out the Strip District of Pittsburgh.  A different kind of whole foods.

 

Our favorite was the Chinese store really interesting things and good prices.  We did not get any pictures of it.

Living of the land

It has been a long harvest season.  Both freezers are full with fruits and vegetables.  Only thing left is a big clothes hamper of butternut squash.  Judging from last year is should be around 35 pts.

My canning room is full don't know where I am going to put the butternut squash when it is canned.
