Do the chickens have large talons?

The orchard, again

Another trip to the orchard on Saturday.

There wasn't a lot ripe this week. Two trees full of tiny Golden Delicious apples. And tons of muscadines. Muscadines are gross. They have really thick skins, and have a weird, "gamey" flavor.

I did get a bunch of apples, though. Small, but good. I made a pie out of some of them for a church potluck. They ate it all. (By the way, I thought it would be cool to make a lattice-top crust, so I made another impulsive trip to Bed, Bath, and Beyond, to buy the little gadget which cuts out strips of pastry with curvy edges.)

I don't know what you are talking about. Muscadines are great. I always loved eating them when I came across them while hunting when I was younger.

Hey, Darrell.

Sorry, I didn't like them. The skins are really thick.
