What is a Cherimoya?

According to Mark Twain (via Wikipedia) "It's the most delicious fruit known to man."

I just assumed it was some kind of Gremlin...

I'm interested to find out what have you been doing with those!

So far...nothing. I gave a head of cabbage and a giant bag of turnips to a friend b/c hubby's been gone and I had no idea what to do with them. :shrug2:

We also got some bok choy that hubby used in a stir fry (for himself, I hate bok choy), and a really interesting variety of raddish called watermelon raddish.
