And I assume that his dealings with alumni give him a good estimate of the capacity of the human (male, at least) to grow up.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819154529261482038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603174461344479143.post-82568549233867395572016-08-29T09:50:37.797-07:002016-08-29T09:50:37.797-07:00You would have to admit that the American Succulen...You would have to admit that the American Succulent Society is quite Dahlberg/smutty English postcard too, (nudge, nudge ad infinitum, some people age but they never grow up, sigh)zmkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972549292961948240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603174461344479143.post-89066262609772534712016-08-28T05:58:41.502-07:002016-08-28T05:58:41.502-07:00The book Authentic Mexican Cooking by Paula Holt a...The book <i>Authentic Mexican Cooking</i> by Paula Holt and Helene Juarez, says that "They have a gentle flavor like some pulpy squash....

If it happened that you wished to read his work, it is better probably to start with <i>Because I Was Flesh</i> or <i>The Leafless American</i>.<br /><br />I don't know about the nopales. I took the picture mostly because the principal of my son's high school is among other things a member of the American Succulent Society. Thank you for reminding me that I should send him the picture. I'll ask my in-laws whether they know how to prepare nopales.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819154529261482038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603174461344479143.post-67672647884224008192016-08-27T08:41:04.210-07:002016-08-27T08:41:04.210-07:00Knowing nothing of Edward Dahlberg, I am horrified...Knowing nothing of Edward Dahlberg, I am horrified to find the smutty English postcard element in my personality coming to the fore as I read those titles. Shame on me. <br /><br />What does one do with those green things that look like cacti in the top picture? Are they delicious, if an acquired taste?zmkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972549292961948240noreply@blogger.com
