I knew the D was all knowing!!!! So it was a Milkweed vine?
This is the climbing Milkweed Ampelamus albidus

One question for the ALL KNOWING D! I know I will get an answer to this one because there are to many country boys on here!

We were working at church Thursday doing some landscaping when I saw a vine growing on one of the hedges, so I take some cutters and go in after it. I drag it out it out and on it was what I always called paw-paw's. My friend said no those are not paw-paw's grow on trees and when they are ripe they taste like bananas. Which one of us was right? I do know, we used to have some good fights with paw-paws (summer snowballs) when we were young!!!! One up side the head stung a bit!!!!
They are hollow like a Bell Pepper sort of.
 
BENYE
1 pkg. active dry yeast
4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 tbsp. grated orange peel
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
Oil for frying
1 1/2 c. lukewarm water
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. mace
3/4 c. sugar
4 bananas, mashed (very ripe)
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
Dissolve yeast in water. Add 1 1/2 cups flour and beat until smooth. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until double. Add the spices, sugar and orange peel to the remaining flour. Add the mashed bananas, vegetable oil and flour-spice mixture to the yeast-flour mix.
Beat until the dough is smooth, about 2 minutes. Cover with a towel and let rise until double. Drop by spoonfuls into deep hot fat. Fry to golden brown, piercing with fork to insure thorough doneness.
 
@Rooster: Last year the tame Mallard hatched 6 eggs, but the ducklings disappeared in a day or so. I have decided that the Crows ate the ducklings. I have a Murder of Crows that contains about a dozen Crows. Is this a reasonable assumption?
Very reasonable as vulnerable ducklings are high on predator menus. They're eaten by Foxes, cats, Weasels, Hawks, Owls, Crows, Jays, Grackles, Snakes & Bass to name a few.

I just watched The Pianist again last night. A lot of Germans better hope that no God exists, or at least didn't mean it when He said "Vengeance is mine. I will repay." What a godawful time in world history (and that's omitting the equal atrocities of Japan). I do think that most Germans at the time were complicit. Many of them rejoiced in the victories (but not so much after the tide turned) and personally benefited from what they did to the Jews and the conquered peoples. I don't think "I was just following orders" is gonna cut it with God.

I'm reminded of a powerful scene in Gandhi where a British officer asked Gandhi, "You don't think we're just going to walk out of India?" Gandhi's reply was, "Yes. In the end, you will walk out, because 100,000 Englishmen simply cannot control 350,000,000 Indians if those Indians refuse to cooperate. And that is what we intend to achieve: peaceful, nonviolent, non-cooperation - till you, yourselves, see the wisdom of leaving."

An entire nation is guilty if they stand by and let a relative handful of their people take control of their government and lead them down a path of destruction.

We are facing this challenge in our country today.

They have felt it more than once.
 
Good afternoon! Taking a little break and then I'm back at it. Lots to get done today.

Someone has testified in the UL case that a trustee was providing money for the stripper parties. The people who will get in trouble are saying that he is lying.

In other news, Seth Rich was killed in a botched robbery where they had time to shoot him two times in the back but not enough time to steal anything.

Antonin Scalia dies under mysterious circumstances and his body is cremated the next day before any toxicology tests could be performed.

Epstein manages to kill himself in a suicide proof room at the exact time no guards were watching and the surveillance cameras were inoperable.

Trump is a Russian agent but O'bama telling an actual Russian agent the he will "have more flexibility after the election" was merely misinterpreted.

To quote the Moody Blues..."which is real and which is an illusion?"
 
Afternoon all.
Golf scramble on Friday took it's toll on me....I made up for Bert's lost time. Pretty much killed most of my weekend. Recovery time aint what it used to be....thankfully.
Happy belated birthday FCC.

Dang I am really slow this morning, just hit me why the cart was in the pond! You are important, you made someone laugh today!!!
Thanks for the explanation cordmaker. I've only met Rooster one time....and he sure as heck didn't look like that!

Gonna go check out a car this evening...man I hate car shopping. The redhead deserves a better one, although she likes driving the little Toyota truck.

Duuuude. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Germany itself was hardly touched by WW1. Except of course the casualties they suffered in other places and the economic devastation afterwards, Many thought they never lost the war but that they had been sold out by Germany's Jews. Maybe if they had there would never have been a WW2. WW2 taught them a lesson they have never forgotten. Kind of like mainland USA who escaped Europe's devastation. It would have been a lot worse if the US had not needed them to halt the westward advance of Communism. Hundreds of thousands of Nazis, really bad ones, got off pretty much scot-free because of this bad situation.

I had a friend that his drinks kept disappearing from the fridge at work, so he started putting his initials on the bottom of the can. Got called to the office one day the boss needed to talk to him, guess who's initials were on the bottom of the can the boss was drinking. Didn't lose anymore drinks!
 
Well been a busy day so far, didn't rain much so I got the deck power washed, pork loin and baked tater in the oven. Just waiting for Mrs. M to get off at 5, going to take some down to mom's best friend that lived across from her. She keeps telling me that I don't have to fix her anything, my reply is if I don't Mrs. H mom would be disappointed with me! Mom was right just about all the time, except when I was a teenager then I thought she didn't know anything! Again she was right and I was wrong! It has been a good day, I did something productive!
 
I mowed the grass and did a bunch of dishes. I noticed some places that need weed eating, and I thought about weed eating. That was all the weed eating I got done.

So the "inmate" who was in the room with Epstein was moved out a couple of hours before his death? The more we hear the less we need video of the murder.
 
The slow growing Pawpaw will also grow in a vine like sub canopy thicket in decidous forest understory as an ecotype adaptation. I remember seeing hillsides and bottoms covered with them and Papaw referred to those as patches.

Paw paws should be in season soon. I take advantage when I can but they really have a short shelf life.
