So... Whats for lunch?

[Sportsdude]

well that's sort of hard to do these days. Heck now the 'american' automakers build their 'american cars' in China.

Have you ever put jicama in a salad.  I love the sweet crunchiness of it.    

[Lil Me]

I've never put it in a salad, but I've eaten it on veggie plates.  MMMMM.  I like raw turnips and daikon radish, too.  

[P.C.]

I like raw turnip too......but cooked makes me gag.

  I have a yummy salad with jicama cut into matchsticks....with dried apricots and shrimp and some other goodies.  It's really good.    

[Sportsdude]

wow when does it get completely dark in Vancouver? Katkam is making me jealouzz.  

[Lil Me]

P.S.- That sounds delish.
 
 SD- later.  It's only 9:30 here.
   

[Sportsdude]

I've never seen the sun up before at 9:30

 

[Lil Me]

Must be the latitude (49 versus 38 in St Louis).  

[Sportsdude]

Yeah that would be it.
You guys must get a lot done in the summer months.
Funny if the sun came down at your time here, half the businesses here would be closed when the sun is still up. lol
 

[49er]

SD.........its the time zone......its noon in China and sunny now

[P.C.]

Half the businesses here are closed while it's still daylight.

[Sportsdude]

 I know its the time zone. But it was pitch black here at 9:30pm. I've never experienced being up that late with the sun still up. To me that sounds like heaven, I can be outside longer.

There's a smoothie king by my house that closes at 6.

 That's because your community has so many retired people who go home and sleep early!

 Makes sense.  Who wants a smoothie in the middle of the night? It's a morning thing.
