Dried fruits

Always smiling @allknowing (153530) • India 27 Feb 23

Apricots and figs are my favourite among dried fruits although I do like most of them. Both figs and apricots are a bit hard on the teeth and so I soak them in sugar syrup when they turn soft and taste better. I just read about...

I went to the kitchen and finished making my drunken apricots.

marguicha @marguicha (230350) • Chile 5 Jun 22

I had some apricots saturated with the brandy of the apricot brandy I made. So now I added a syrup to have them exude the excess brandy and turn into drunken apricots that I will serve as dessert. I am also thawing a pork chop...

Dixie came to take the last of the apricots.

She also gathered the ones on the floor and I thanked her. I cannot do that as I cannot bend. They are taking me to vote. I´m very happy as this is a moment when I wish everyone was aware that they have to...

Dixie made the apricot brandy.

marguicha @marguicha (230350) • Chile 11 Mar 21

Yesterday Dixie made the apricot brandy while I made the calf foot cheese and the tongue. I remembered when we got together with friends years ago to sew or knit. We need clubs, social instances and the like. This pandemia is...

I have been talking by phone and taking surveys.

marguicha @marguicha (230350) • Chile 13 Dec 20

I just earned $2 in surveys. Not bad for a day´s work answering questions about thing I know next to nothing. Later Tania called me. The talk was over an hour. Finally I asked for some food online. A big part of it belongs to...

It is after 12 PM. The day has gone. I am watching with half an eye The secret life of predators by the Nat Geo channel. Beautiful. I hope Human beings don´t kill all the wild life too soon. I don´t know if I will have interest...

Our life this week will be around the apricot tree. We don´t want them to fall off the tree. Today Leticia did not come and I did not invite my Tuesday friends. I have been dozing most of the hot day. Now I must get up and open...

After a very long nap.

marguicha @marguicha (230350) • Chile 12 Dec 18

The day is almost over. My friends stayed to talk after lunch and I was SO sleepy! So after they went away I got on my bed (not "in" as it is too warm) and fell asleep instantly. I woke up and there were apricots to gather from...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 11 Jan 17

I've made a mistake in my post about horizontal horizons. I said that a pole in the middle of the photo was a light which comes on to prevent frost from forming in the orchard. As I wrote it I was wondering how a simple light or...

Francine @beenice2 (2967) • Sackville, New Brunswick 6 Jan 17

I can understand why my daughter likes dried apricots. Because she is not able to eat anything with dairy , she found lots of other good things that she can put hands on and have no problems digesting it. The nutrients...

Sun had not done any harm to the basil, but snails had found the leaves quite to their taste. So, tomorrow, I will put some snail bite for them. I don´t mind bugs unless they bug ME! The tomato plants are funny. I...
