Greg Thompson of the Mosquito Control Board will describe chemical-free, preventative measures to control mosquitos during the hot months. The Conartys will have more of those incredible Asian pears this Saturday. If you haven't tasted an Asian pear, you're in for a real treat.
Asian pears have a wonderful sweet taste and a crisp texture.
This week they'll have a new variety, Hosui, a larger pear about the size of an orange. By the way, the pear is so named because it was developed in Japan and is a cross between a pear and an apple. Did you know that slicing cucumbers grow long and smooth while pickling cucumbers are bumpier and more compact. Lionel pounds the leaves in a hollowed out tree trunk handed down to him by his grandfather and hopes to pass on the family business to his son. It's worth making a pot of gumbo just to taste this delectable herb at its peak.
