There really are supposed to be taste differences between different kinds of salt. I picked up some sea salt and some kosher salt. Liked both, but didn't think I saw much difference between them and regular old salt. Next time I needed salt though, neither were available, so I went back to Mortons. NOW I notice the difference, and miss the good stuff.

On that same note, I like the multi-coloured pepper much better than plain black pepper. FWIW, the pink pepper comes from Brazillian Pepper trees--just like the one in my yard

So, Laree, how do you pronounce your name?

I've heard that if you put the little ones together together, then act big and mean and scary (not hard to do - just move some stuff around or shake out a towel) they'll panic and flock together, and then forget that they weren't all friends to begin with.

After having a pepper grinder I don't think I could ever go back to the powdery black and white stuff. Have you tried making your own pepper from the tree in your yard?

Laree - Sugar can be colored, too. ;-)

I have HUGE grapefruit and pear trees. Also a self-sown pomegranite that is getting pretty big and a golden dorset apple that is also getting pretty big. An improved meyer lemon tree that is so sweet you can eat the lemons as is. A strawberry guava that produces a little bit of fruit. A couple of years ago I put in an avocado and a lime. The avocado is doing great, but the lime bit the dust with our last freeze. Last fall I put in a nectarine, a plum and an apricot. They are all doing quite well. I have grapevine that is getting pretty big. I planted it next to the barn in a huge flower pot. I also planted several other things alongside the barn in the same huge flower pots, but they all died. A couple of years later I decided to plant it directly in the ground. But I couldn't get the pot to move. Low and behold, the roots had grown right through the bottom of the pot! I planted a passion fruit vine in a similar pot last year...don't plan on letting it grow through the bottom--actually, it can't--it's sitting on a slate tiled plant dolly.

Next door neighbors have apple trees, both anna and dorset, peach, plum, nectarine, orange and maybe lemon--at least a couple of each. Probably a few that I forgot--their backyard is basically a forest.

I love the multi colored pepper too!!! The plain black is too strong now that I'm used to the mixed color pepper.

Mmmmm we need a pear an avacodo and an apple!! Right now we have an orange, a lemon, a nectarine, a peach, and grapes. We probably really only have room for one more tree ... but maybe we can squeeze two more - LOL!
