Recently you had a very nice article about cooking with the pads from prickly pear cactus. If you go down Highway 77 near Kelly High School, you will find fields full of prickly pear cactus that are growing wild, and the fact is the neighbors think they are weeds. If you want to cook with these prickly pear cactuses, how do you remove all these stickers and get to where they are edible? That's the real part of cooking...

Storytelling festival
One reason we don't go to the storytelling festival is it is very expensive, at least in my opinion. We went when they first had it. I think they had some free stuff. And then even in the paper it just looked like ghost stories. It didn't seem to be the most intelligent turn on the storytelling. I think when it first started they did some historical things, so it was really interesting. Also, the weather for Saturday, people didn't know what it was going to be like. It certainly wasn't going to be a beautiful sunny day forecast.
