Papaw tree and it's fruit

This is the first of my papaw trees to produce
fruit. It is about 3.5 yrs. old. These trees usually
do not produce fruit until the fourth or fifth year.
The tree is about six - seven feet tall and was planted
from seed that I got from my Uncle Paul who has
Papaw trees on his property in Eastern Ky.


This is the fruit in it's infant stage. There will be seven
pieces of fruit on this one pod if they all survive and grow.
The tree is covered with pods just like this one.
The fruit of the papaw tree is not much bigger than an
average size potato and tastes somewhat like bananas.
It is the closest thing that Ky. has to a tropical tasting
fruit. Most prefer to eat the fruit when the skin has turned
black, which indicates the fruit is fully ripened. There are
several seeds in each fruit that are about the size of the end
of the index finger.
The fruit should be ready for harvest in late summer/early fall.

My Favorite Pizza..............Again! Lombardi's

Last weekend we ate at Lombardi's AGAIN!!!
Gina's Mom and Sister came to visit for a few days
so we went to NYC for a couple days. I can't go
to NYC and not eat at Lombardi's. My mother-in-law
and sister-in-law both agree, that Lombardi's pizza
is the best pizza they have ever had.

Verrazzano Narrows Bridge, NYC

The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge that connects the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn on Long Island in New York City at the Narrows, the reach connecting the relatively protected upper bay with the larger lower bay.
The bridge is named for Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, the first known European navigator to enter New York Harbor and the Hudson River, while crossing The Narrows. It has a center span of 4,260 feet (1,298 m) and was the largest suspension bridge in the world at the time of its completion in 1964, until it was surpassed by the Humber Bridge in the United Kingdom in 1981. It now has the eighth longest center span in the world, and is the largest suspension bridge in the United States. Its massive towers can be seen throughout a good part of the New York metropolitan area, including from spots in all five boroughs of New York City.
