And on the subject of banana varietals, prior to the 1960s the most common commercial cultivar was the Gros Michel, which had a thick skin and traveled well. But certain diseases mostly wiped it out from commercial production, and Cavendish became the most common commercial cultivar. The reason that artificial banana flavor "doesn't really taste like bananas" is because it tastes like Gros Michel, and most people these days associate banana flavor with Cavendish.

That's one thing that I liked about being in the Philippines. In addition to the tropical fruit that most people associate with places like that - mango, papaya, passionfruit, etc - there are about 80 varieties of banana, and every single one tastes better than the bananas that are available in grocery stores in the US.

How do you discourage the mountain lion from hanging around?

LEAD him know he isn’t welcome

Don’t forget mangosteen. When my wife and I were in south east Asia we gorged ourselves on them every day. Occasionally get them in Aus but instead $1 for a big bag we’re paying $5 per fruit.

It is mango season at the moment, between us and the kids I think we keep the industry afloat in Australia.

A truly sad fact about your family loses Jack.

On a happier note ,it sounds like a very successful day.

Thank you my friend

Thanks Mitch. That was my first Toole lambsfoot. I bought another of in desert ironwood. Talented cutler.

I don’t know what can be done with that lion. We do have lots motion detector lights that should discourage it. Their territories are large. No real lambs around here. A lot of turkeys though. During the day I spend a lot of time out back. Good thing the lion hunts mainly at night. I probably taste good even past my expiration date.

Interesting I wondered what you would do, as we have no apex predators, that wander on to your porch here. I guess you have to be aware letting the pets at night.
Thanks for sharing

I’ve seen wild dogs “dingoes ” working on pulling down a sambar stag.
My friend Josh got some pretty impressive stills of them killing a sambar hind in front of his camera.


Not to mention crocs.

land crocodiles and marsupial lions might be gone but we do have some left

You don't have me stumped. I know that's a sweet GL-24.

Thanks Bob !

I have two lambs in the pockets today. This is the other one .

Great looking Stag !

A rainy day here. Here’s some paper micarta for Monday.

Had a visitor the other evening. A mountain lion was sniffing around the front porch. Looks like a young adult. I hope it finds territory elsewhere.

Thanks Jack. I was going to create another pie pic with the correct pecan pie we picked up over the weekend, but it was completely gone before I knew it! They’re so good.

I’ve never tried pecan pie, must make it someday.

We also pronounce them in a very drawly Aussie accent pea-cans.

Interesting. My sweet southern wife says p’kawn, while I say pe-kahn.

You should try one sometime, it’s my favorite kind of pie.

Pies on a whole here are generally savoury, typically a meat pie and something you would go to the bakery for.

I like to think of myself as a foodie, I’ve made a few pumpkin pies because they don’t exist here. I love them, wife and kids not so much. Last year we had a glut of cherries so I made a cherry pie, another swing and miss with the kids.

Anyway next is pecan pie. Do you have a good recipe I could try? My wife is due to have a baby any day and I’ll be on leave for a couple of weeks with time up my sleeve.

I was raised on biscuits and pecan pie. Chunky, gooey, syrupy. Yes please. I’ve lived in southern Mississippi and South Carolina and I am a firm puh-cahn guy.

Hatchet_Jack I’m a firm proponent of broadening your horizons into sweet pie heaven. It is a beautiful place .

Lamb content…very sweet…peach I do believe.

I’m sure there are better recipes out there, but our favorite pecan pie is from Cracker Barrel restaurant so we found a copycat recipe for that and we’ve not looked back.

Here you go. I hope this is ok Jack! I added the lamb I will be carrying tomorrow.
