Or make their own field for the vegetable like pumpkins.<br />Pickled Plum helps delay food to go bad.

So glad you managed to make them ...Dearest Orchid,<br /><br />So glad you managed to make them yourself! Yes, I ate them and we've seen them also in the stores. The Chairman of the International Association in Osaki did bring us to a store for seeing all the fresh produce and I especially was impressed. The presentation and the quality/freshness is exceptional! Being the daughter of a market grower, I am more or less born between the veggies, I really appreciated this part. <br />Have a great weekend and lots of love,<br /><br />MarietteMariette's Back to Basicshttp://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639768542553618012.post-27268781342225606812011-07-29T19:42:45.427+09:002011-07-29T19:42:45.427+09:00Dear Orchid, bless your heart for making something...Dear Orchid, bless your heart for making something you don't even like to eat. Sometimes I do that also:) Would the food shortage lunch box be the only meal for the day during that time? I think Americans might be very disappointed if they had to ration their food in that way. So your culture is very strong inside to endure limited food. Maybe the taste of sour helped to take away hunger.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456360103620523621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639768542553618012.post-39511410876705779432011-07-28T22:42:11.000+09:002011-07-28T22:42:11.000+09:00I've never had pickled plums but would try the...I've never had pickled plums but would try them as I like sweet and sour both.

He has felt all the "caring" going out for him and he is amazed that beyond the pain of therapy he is doing so well.<br />We are so touched by all our friends caring and love our newest friend in Japan.<br />Sour plums? Interesting. I used to crave and them make watermelon pickles when I was pregnant. You are a good wife to make them for your husband when you don't like them. Since they are much work to make. I do hope he enjoys them. Am happy they bring back memories of your mother making and enjoying them. I am like you, usually do not like "sour" food too much.
