I said she expects a little something, not a little something-something.
...though she expects that as well.
Prickly pear cactus grows like weeds here. You can literally throw some cuttings in the garden, and they will take over. The red "flowers" are interesting. I made cocktails with them. They needed a lot of sugar.

I have lots of pantry space, so I find myself at the cashier counter with a look of shock on my face. "Um, how much?"
For me, it is almost all nuts. Plain, smoked, candied... they have them all. And, I buy them all.

I'd never have associated prickly pear with Italy. What do you do with it?

The usual stuff, but the fruit and veg guy had these "wild" mushrooms. I think I know what they are, do you? Very aromatic, Mrs Blank does not like mushrooms so I will fry them in lots of butter and add the pasta to them.

This is my favorite dish. We used to slow cook it with onions, garlic, tomatoes and green peppers in casserole.
From the Amish shopping trip tod:
Those whoopie pies are HUGE. The raspberry cream cheese rolls are a little worse for wear from sitting in the car a bit, but they'll be fine.
A similar excursion tomorrow, in the opposite direction. Oh, and I forgot the black raspberry longjohn my wife wanted.

These things don't exist in the UK. Maybe they deserve a new thread?
Actually, they do, by another name and shape. It's essentially a Swiss roll, just constructed differently.
Also, since the Amish are the kings and queens of sugar, I guarantee you that whoopie pie has about four times the sugar of any Swiss roll. They absolutely reek of sugar, and as soon as you bite into it, you'll know if you have any weak or sensitive teeth, because they'll start to throb.
The chocolate one is the traditional whoopie pie, followed closely by the oatmeal one (two oatmeal-raisin cookies with the cream). Amish do a lot with oatmeal. The other two (chocolate chip and peanut butter) are not quite as traditional.
The two fry pies are blackberry (MrsTasty) and raisin (me). Those plums are nearly the size of baseballs, too.
Let's see, donuts, pastries and whoopie pies. That should fix that blood sugar problem.
