Hey all - I would like to offer one of you a gift subscription to Taste Of Home. They've offered me

a free subscription, but I don't really read this particular magazine, or any other food mags lately, for that matter. Plus, I'd like to be able to give a gift to one of you. Since the PM's don't work, leave me a reply here if you're interested, and I'll randomly choose a winner.

 
It looks like it's just you two - I'll write each name on a piece of paper, fold it up, and pick one

 
And the winner is....

Steve! Now, the problem is getting your mailing address to me. Try sending me a PM - sometimes it works, sometimes not. Put your email address in the subject, not the body, and we'll see what happens.

 
Sent, thanks. Let me know if it gets through? Cheez, aren't you in LA? Maybe we can share.

I almost always give my food magazines away when I'm done with them. I'd be happy to save 'em up and send 'em on to you if you'd like.

 
It came through! I'll email me you now from my gmail account. Great idea to share with cheezz!

 
What a sweetheart! Or is this a slick way to pass on more jars of mulberry jam? smileys/smile.gif

 
We used to have a huge mulberry tree in our backyard. I never knew you could eat them!

Are they all edible? Because I'm pretty sure my parents warned us away from them.

 
I think there are "ornamental" variations of the mulberry which may be inedible. The one currently

in our garden today was a "volunteer" which produced prolifically. While you CAN eat these mulberries, I juiced ours and used that juice to make a variety of spreadable jellies.

I know we had a mulberry tree in our yard when I was a kid. Due to too many Summers sitting on a branch, OD'ing on the damned things, I can no longer STAND the taste or smell of them. Certainly turned the jelly making process into an interesting challenge but so far, no complaints.

 
We ate the mulberries and our silkworms ate the leaves.

When we moved away from the local mulberry tree, my mother had to put up with mulberry leaves in the fridge during silkworm season, but funnily enough, we just ate the berries while we picked the leaves. I don't remember storing berries in the fridge. We probably weren't allowed to.

 
We opened the last jar of your mulberry jam this week. If you still have more we'd be happy

to continue our suffering on your behalf. It's still Lent, after all.
