Well, I thought of that last year obviously, but the plum trees didn't produce
much fruit last year.  It's sort of a bi-annual thing I guess.  I have another
ingredient in mind for Ironic Chef next month, to be announced after the
contestants get it.  Will be fun.

Dad cut off the drooping branches last night.  I'm doing salvage today, some
plums but mostly nice fruitwood for smoking and BBQ!  Don't worry, I've got
enough red plummy goodness so that you can acquire the stain tomorrow.  [I'm
not sure whether I'm referencing Lady Macbeth or Dune here, both I guess.]
Bring freezer containers.
