Pawpaw: Appalachia’s Native Fruit That Never Left, We Just Forgot About It
There are a lot of plants in Appalachia that people walk past every day without giving a second thought. Pawpaw might be the best example of that.

Orange is gone. Sundowning like a big dog. He basically didn’t say a damn thing except his typical “in two weeks BS. So old & tired. PawPaw needs to be in memory care FFS!
Russia's idea of "helping" is not something anyone wants.
IDK which would be worse, Trump actually being dumb enough to believe this, or Trump blatantly lying about something this important.
Either way, it's humiliating for every American, whether they know it or not.

[Q]: In your conversation with president Putin, did you discuss what responsibility Russia will have for any kind of reconstruction of Ukraine post the agreement?
President Trump: I did. They're going to be helping. Russia is going to be helping.
Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed.

If anyone has the details on a pawpaw grove in the western MA area I promise I’ll keep it secret and only take what I can use 🥺🥺🥺

“As much as ‘Pawpaw’ is a compendium of pawpaw knowledge, it also plumbs deeper questions about American foodways—how economic, biologic, and cultural forces combine, leading us to eat what we eat, and sometimes to ignore the incredible, delicious food growing all around us.”
My first book acquisition and one of my favorite editing experiences was Andrew Moore’s wonderful (and award-winning) Pawpaw. Highly recommend.

I used to drink Pisco sours until I realized that I don't like Pisco sours. 😄
Anyway, I like the pawpaw bitters in Old-fashioneds (incl brandy ones) or with a bourbon or TN whiskey on the rocks. I've also used them a var on a Wondrich cocktail called the Hold Fast (whiskey, Gran Marnier, bitters).

We have a local pawpaw enthusiast who grows them and sells the fruit and trees who gave me a bottle of his homemade bitters. I was going to review them for my blog but was afraid that the feds might take issue with him selling alcohol-based bitters w/o the required licenses or whatever.
