what are those fruits called that make the green paste that is spread on mexican food? the one with the supersized seed in the middle? those are icky plain but taste SO good on nachos
Botanically, they are a fruit because of what part of the plant they are. Believe it or not, there was an actual ruling on this issue in 1883 by the Supreme Court. Part of that ruling clarifies this matter: “Botanically speaking, tomatoes are the fruit of a vine, just as are cucumbers, squashes, beans, and peas. But in the common language of the people, whether sellers or consumers of provisions, all these are vegetables which are grown in kitchen gardens, and which, whether eaten cooked or raw, are, like potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, beets, cauliflower, cabbage, celery, and lettuce, usually served at dinner in, with, or after the soup, fish, or meats which constitute the principal part of the repast, and not, like fruits generally, as dessert.â€
Thanks for the answer folks! Wow, all the way to the Supreme Court! Perhaps we should ask the current nominee if she uphold this precedent.

“I was eating multi grain pancakes with CVB”
Really now! Well, then, I am impressed!
“hated REM”
Goodness me, oh my! Even the very early stuff?
Er, I mean I was eating multi grain pancakes with CVB. Or is that what you meant?
I don’t like the Replacements. And I hated REM. We forgot REM.
OMG, Joy Division. Randi is correct.
Now tell me the difference between a fruit, a fag, a gay, a homosexual, a maricon, a poof, a pillowbiter and someone who led a flamboyant lifestyle.
“In 1986, we were probably eating a lot of multi grain pancakes in someone’s back yard together.”
More than likely! : ) I had a lot of friends there. Did you know any of the Real Food Company People? Maybe we should save this for the next event!
Say, maybe you remember that cute little place for brunch over in the Mission, sort of mis-matched chairs and dishes. Aunt something or others?
Yes, I got that one wasder!
Oh yeah, I’ve heard “Turning Japanese.” I would think that would be Rob’s favorite, Dave.
