Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

[Niamh]

i think i was ten before i was allowed near anything coffee based! Thats why i was suprised! But in saying that young infants over here get warm tea with milk so i guess thats kind of similar!
All this talk of fruit! When i was a kid i used to go to wexford every summer and we'd go blackberry picking! I loved it! We'd end up picking so much we'd have it with everything! We'd still be eating the jam by the next summer. And thinking of wexford always makes me think of gooseberry jam and the strawberry fair. Best gooseberries and strawberries in Ireland are wexford ones!

Oh, well we don't start until 8-10 anyways...most of the time at least...I LOVE GOOSEBERRIES! I was up in the Redwoods in CA, we picked wild gooseberries and salmon berries and ate them there!! I'm not sure if we should have but oh well!!

I love Raspberries!!! OH WOW!! I'm not a big fan on Banannas, partially because everyone calls me ana bananna, and the flavor. I love grapes and oranges and mangos....and kumquats?? I think thats how you spell it...dunno.!

what are salmon berries and Kumquats?

what are salmon berries and Kumquats?

Ya know, I'm not sure what salmon berries are...well I know what they look like, but I don't know if it was a good idea to eat...well they are these red/pink, yellow if unripe, berries that grow on this bush...they look like salmon eggs bunched together. Kumquats are ittybitty orange looking things that are pretty sour...yummy!![ATTACH]salmonberries%20on%20plant (2).jpg[/ATTACH]

I have a blackberry bush just outside the porch door. The darn things grow wild and spread like crazy, but the berries are very nice.

That's true. We have blackberries in our garden. We're not really keen gardeners. So they completely took over. They've covered the roses (we had roses, different coloured ones, red, a kind of peachy colour and I'm sure we had yellow too but I need to check that. That was a long time ago) and the Bluebells (I love bluebells. Don't know why. The colour, the shape, the smell maybe because they pop up every spring, even now though there's very few now) and that lovely one with the little clusters of white flowers (I don't know it's name, had a lovely smell though) there was a wall there and I could climb up and sit on it and look into the neighbor’s garden. Wow. I haven't thought of that for years, it was so long ago. It's all different now. I've started clearing some of the blackberries, they were getting close to my cat's grave. There's one thing I won't tolerate and that's thorns smothering him. I don't want to take all of the blackberries down though because our birds like to eat them.
Sorry about that, my thoughts got away from me a bit there. I just love remembering things like our garden .

Now coffee, personally I hate it. So do my parents though my dad will eat coffee sweets while mum and I won't. But mum drinks tea. She's addicted I say. She has a headache if she doesn't have her tea in the morning. I've never liked tea and my dad hates it too. But the thing is I'll happily drink Coca-Cola but mum won't I'm not sure about dad, he probably would though.

ThankS! those Kumquats look very nice!

[Weisinheimer]

yum, I love kumquats. I don't have them very often, though. Not many stores around here carry them.

I haven't eaten any since we moved from San Diego. Our neighbour had the kumquat plant in her backyard and would bring us baskets of them every few months!!! Its been like 4 yrs now!!

Mmm...mangoes are by far my favourite fruits, but I love bananas and melons as well. And mulberries, because of sentimental reasons.


I've never had a kumquat...it sounds interesting.

Mangoes are a dear favorite of mine as well!

It's been a while since I saw anyone replying in this thread...it's nice to see you girls again here

[Niamh]

yes! Lets have tea and coffee! I need to wake myself up!

[Nossa]

Same here...lol...it's weird, cuz I had enough sleep last night, and now I'm in the middle of a very interesting article that I'm reading...
Have you ever fell asleep while reading?! lol

[Niamh]

yeah but thats because i refused to go to sleep until i read more of the book but my body won that battle!

[Nossa]

I do the same thing, the thing is, I usualy read while I'm in bed, which doesn't help, cuz sometimes I end up reading like two lines, and then fall asleep, so I end up NOT reading what I wanted to read, and falling asleep when I didn't wanna sleep cuz I wanted to read...did that make ANY sense?!
Now, I woke up like two hours ago..and I'm reading something while I'm sitting here..STILL I feel sleepy...grrrr...lol
