Our colleague in Pakistan proposed the topic "Mango, queen of fruits. Discuss." I never had a chance to use it though ...<br />Perhaps I will have daffodil blooms in Toronto tomorrow.<br />LisaRR Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-60081290961425047632014-05-01T17:00:29.470+01:002014-05-01T17:00:29.470+01:00I've been meaning to thank you for mentioning ...I've been meaning to thank you for mentioning the "Mind the Gap" sock yarn.

I've never seen fresh fruits or vegies imported from as far as India, though some fruits are available from Chile or even Australia when they're out of season here in the northern hemisphere. I seldom buy the jet-set stuff, however, preferring what's in season locally.<br /><br />Mary Lou, if you want that asparagus to taste like real asparagus, you'll have to come to California to enjoy it! Time spent in transport means that you'll never get the real fresh deal. <br />-- stashdragonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-57077502176446856252014-05-01T13:30:40.238+01:002014-05-01T13:30:40.238+01:00I have never had a south Asian mango, I'll hav...I have never had a south Asian mango, I'll have to drive to the giant Indian food store and see if they have any. I know what you mean about asparagus. We grow it it the garden, and it is a treat.
