Hmm .... *prods package* I wonder what that is?

Gwennie Posted Jul 23, 2001

*still clapping her hands from mari's speech*
All this fuss about cheesecake. Here AaDragonfly...just take this little cheesecake out & plant it. Not too deep & not too shallow.
In a few weeks you'll start to see the topping!! 
Mari-rae, when you have the time will you knitt me a frilly bra? I've given up hope of ever finding mine...ever since I remembered
attaching it to a friends bumper.
E. I have a 
for you. I bought it on the Home Shopping Network. *psychidelic loggos!!* Hope you like 'um.
And Mari-rae, here*tickets to England* So you can visit all the ole' fruits you've met there.
Now, I'd LOVE an 'Oh God' from that new drink thingy!!!

If I bury the cheesecake, and a cheesecake tree fails to grow, oh the SHAME!!! WHAT A SIN!!! I would not be able to show my face again!!!
And Pan, how come you know so much about cheesecake trees all of a sudden!??
Crossed Purposes: July 2001
Pandora...Born Again Tart Posted Jul 23, 2001
It isn't sudden. As I've said, last year I won a blue ribbon at the Fair with my blueberry, sour cream, coconut chees cake.
I just don't know why all the fuss...they'er VERY easy to grow. A bit of Sunlight, a bit of water...& 
there you have it! I have a garden that will soon be over run with them. I always plant more than I could possibly eat. The neighbors love me for it. I show up at Summer's end with baskets of them.

Pan, please tell us exactly, how to make this
Hey! A cheesecake tree?? Wow!
Crossed Purposes: July 2001
Hati Posted Jul 23, 2001
Is this Cheesecake tree a garden-plant or a houseplant?
Crossed Purposes: July 2001
Dragonfly. "A poet can survive everything but a misprint"-- Oscar Wilde Posted Jul 23, 2001
I think it's an Affy plant.
And I better take it outside so it gets sunlight...

*E snipps of a little fruit whilst D is carrying that plant out. Tastes it...*
Hm. I think I got one that wasn´t quite ripe yet

Ah, yes, but not too much, you know. Cheseecake should be served chilled. With 
if you ask me.
Well, are you?
