Re: Blueberries

[Bob Anibal <boba@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I was a teen-ager, a bunch of us ( including a guy who later became my
brother-in-law) used to hop a freight train in town and ride out in the
country to pick blueberries. Brough them home and Mom made a pie. Most
delicious pies ever made. I'm 81 so guess the berries did it. As to spinach,
had a prenup agreement  that if wife ever served me spinach I would
immediately see a lawyer. After all the d___weed is full of oxalic acid
which is a very potent poison. My grandmother used to make elderberry wine.
There are 2 elderberry wines  one from floweers and one from the fruit.
Sooooooooooo this old rat will go for the elderberries, blueberries and
strawberries and leave the spinach for Popeye.
