Happy quequisque

a good location with some shade and more water.

also called Taro, Colocasia esculenta, creamier texture than potatoes. The leaves can be eaten but must be cooked to remove the calcium oxalate,the tiny crystals of calcium oxalate, exceedingly sharp, can puncture delicate membranes of mouth and tongue and cause intense irritation

Taro, as people know it in the U.S. is malanga. As I remember, quequisque (with about 10 spellings) is called some kind of taro but not it is not the stuff that makes the white chips with purple stripes in them that you get at your local health food store.

these are white..

inside, we usually have them in soup. The white ones will grow in drier soil, my Hawaiian friend says these are howli taro, they like the purple ones that grow in bog ponds. The leaves are called elephant ears when they eat them

You got me there. This Winter has been a doozy, colder and more snow fall since years. Our Gold "Maple Leafs" get paid in U.S. not that it matters most kids can't afford to go see them anyway. Bunch of Hosers! Eh! BTW The Alberta Government has recently taken a page out of Chavez's book and upped the ante on Royalty Payments from the U.S. Producers (And Others) in the Oil Sands. Payback Time for all that Softwood Lumber Bullying. Oh Well, Oils well that ends well..I suppose.

soft wood....

Hot Button around these parts...I am at this minute, almost surrounded by Weyerhaeuser land holdings, which as we have been told repeatedly is vastly superior to the product from socialist run "spaghetti" mills of the great white north. The propaganda from the big W says all our mill and logging jobs were destroyed by the predatory practices of said socialist run "spaghetti" mills...hmmm, Mr. Weyerhaeuser wouldn't be fibbing would he?

Way to go, stick to the oil companies, make 'em squeal.
