As a kid, I thought water chestnuts were very exotic and grew in the ocean. But I never thought of them as "sneaky". Too funny. My 93 year old mom likes them a lot, but I am now rather indifferent to them.

Garden is starting to crank out lots of goodies. But only one red tomato yet. But several very orange good sized pumpkins already and acorn squash. Goofy. I really like the white cuke, 'The Pearl'. It is very crisp. I shredded some into long stripes along with carrots and green peppers to make a spicy peanut and sesame Asian slaw. Yummy. Patti
