Nothing is quite so funny as someone running into a bunch of prickly pears at night during a new moon. Full moon now, so I've got a few days to wait.
On the cook side of things, I am going to go collect some of the ripening prickly pears and make preserves this year. Brand new recipe. Cactus pears, ugly South Texas oranges, and the hot, hot jalapenos from the garden, as soon as they vein up and start turning dark.
