I'm with Jesse,also if you fry it crispy with a little salt its better then french-fries.

Glad someone else answered that...knew it could be eaten but had no idea how to prepare it. lol

In the year 1787, Lieutenant William Bligh, a young British Naval Officer having most recently served as sailing master to Captain James Cook on his voyages to the South Pacific, was commissioned by Sir Joseph Banks and the British Admiralty, to undertake a voyage in a small ship, HMS Bounty. The goal of the voyage was to obtain a large number of breadfruit plantings to be taken to the Caribbean where they would be transplanted to provide food for the slaves in those colonies.
The voyage was difficult, and ill-feelings were rampant, although probably no more than on other long sea voyages of the period. After a long stay in Tahiti to enable the gathering and stowing of the breadfruit plantings on board the ship, the Bounty began its voyage to the Caribbean and then back to England. On the morning of April 28th, 1789, led by Masters Mate Fletcher Christian, twelve crewmembers staged the now famous mutiny, capturing the ship, and setting Lt. Bligh and his supporters adrift in the ship's launch.

Jesse: Thanks for the history lesson!

ServaCat,

Excellent report! Nice crib too.
Glad to see things are still going great. Hopefully I'll make it back soon.

BTW, I saw no mention of pre-breakfast Belikins this time, is Kelly more strict than mom? Just kidding, I had a few of those pre-breakfast beers as well, gets the blood going.(:-)

Again, thanks for the great report.

kcjd: Ha! I did have a couple pre-breakfast Belikins on this trip but not near as many as last time.

I'll have to make another trip to AC just to make up for that.

Hey Jesse, I went in that Bounty web sight and spent about an hour so far. Very interesting but I have to get back to work. I love stuff like that.

Thanks

The solution is quit work!

Thanks to seashell introducing me to Reef Ransom's journal, work has been done sparodically (if at all) for the last 3 or 4 days. I have to hurry up and finish the journal before they discover I haven't been working.
