Indeed. Yay! for Bass and yay! for us sharing the joy. I was in the local foo-foo grocery store today looking at all the trays of figs from far away. Aside from the usual Mission, Kadota and Brown Turkey they had Panachee for sale. They were handing out samples and all the others were as is to be expected but the Panachee had held their flavor remarkably well. __________________ Alexis Manor, Tx 8b Wish list - Yellow Neches, Persian White, Dalmatie, Berbera
