Good Ribes


These days, I'm hooked on ribes. I'm talkin' red currants and gooseberries, man.

Local vendor at the Grand Army Plaza market has been bringing them down from upstate. First time I had ever seen them for sale, too. Those who know me well know that I'm a huge fan of gooseberries, of which we have a bush back at my parents place. We used to have currants to, but the damn DePompei's tree took over that area and killed it off. Though, the motherlode and parents of both said ribe plants are still thriving at Baba's place.

If you ever need a sapling for growing your own gooseberries, my old man could probably hook you up. Talk to Gener!

Anyway, ribes, man. Awesome.
