Italian Plums
Olympia summer seems to be finding its pace. It really got off to a pathetic start. More than 6 days of rain and 50 degree weather in July is not acceptable (unless you’re in the Southern Hemisphere I guess). This week has been in the 80’s and clear and people are starting to hand out free produce! Yesterday our neighbors invited us over to pick as many italian plums as we could carry. I don’t know if they realized how much I can carry. They must not see me when I unload the car after we go grocery shopping. I can often get 9 bags into the house by myself without dropping much of anything (Josh, do you do this too? Do you yell ‘I win’ at your wife when she sets down her two bags and you come crashing into the kitchen swinging 9? thought so). Does anyone have any plum recipes? Because seriously, we have a lot of plums.

i just dumped a gallon bucket of em because I realized that after I had eaten three thats all I wanted, recipe or no recipe
the rest are now falling from the tree littering the ground and you have to be careful not to mash them all over and track them into the house.
Thats just the way it is in "Sunny" 100 degrees day after day and no rain in so long children under six do not recognize it, Simi Valley.
