When I was at Safeway the other day I saw this... Jackfruit!
The jackfruit is also known as jack tree, fenne, jakfruit, or sometimes simply jack or jak. It is a species of tree in fig, mulberry, and breadfruit. Native to India and Sri Lanka. It has the largest tree born fruit, some up to 80 pounds! It is also the national fruit of Bangladesh. Here is much more information:
1954 – The first nuclear-powered submarine, the USS Nautilus, is launched in Groton, Connecticut by Mamie Eisenhower, the First Lady of the United States.
1968 – Vietnam War: Battle of Khe Sanh – One of the most publicized and controversial battles of the war begins.
1968 – A B-52 bomber crashes near Thule Air Base, contaminating the area after its nuclear payload ruptures. One of the four bombs remains unaccounted for after the cleanup operation is complete.
1999 – War on Drugs: In one of the largest drug busts in American history, the United States Coast Guard intercepts a ship with over 4,300 kilograms (9,500 lb) of cocaine on board.
And births this date include...
I have had a problem with FB and my blog link for some time now. It says it's "unsafe", so I experimented with the link and took off the www and just put https://oregonsue.blogspot.com and it goes straight through now and doesn't say "unsafe"! OMGOODNESS. I am guessing FB and Google are not the best of friends!
Of course, after that ........ chair, wine, TV.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Sunday. Ciao.

An old French word chaudière, pronounced “chowda”, is a large pot for cooking. This is the likely origin of the word.
New England clam chowder is a milk- or cream-based chowder, commonly made with potatoes, onion, and clams. Including tomatoes is shunned; a 1939 bill making tomatoes in clam chowder illegal was introduced in the Maine legislature.
New England clam chowder is usually accompanied with oyster crackers.
