  1. She approached me behind the store after work, the lamplight falling on her loose, dark hair. She usually wore tight braids when she stopped by with her husband for coffee and palmeras de hojaldre. I didn't speak much Spanish, but vaguely understood her words: They were leaving. She pressed into my hands a small container of #quince cheese she had made. "Autodepartarse" she said, and I heard her voice waver. I had only ever heard a soft steeliness there. "Self-deport." #Mastoprompt @stevencudahy

  3. Spring has sprung in Sheffield, UK. Lots of apple, pear and quince blossom. I planted the quince tree in February/March 2021 and had three fruit from it last year. Last autumn was a mast year for walnuts. I have at least four seedlings from the (Juglans nigra) black walnuts that I gathered. #sheffield #juglansnigra #cydona #quince #walnut

  5. Pictures tomorrow but for now a little #Gardening update, as today I saw 2 of my #apple trees and my Quince tree with leaf buds. The #Quince being further along in those leaves starting to come out.

  6. 🍏Japanese Quince (木瓜)-
    These blossoms are far easier to tell apart, as they look a little like camellia flowers in miniature (and tend to come in darker pinks).

  7. barren and lonely

    a promise of jam

    trivia: marmalade comes from the portuguese marmelo, quince.

    For EU rules, to make the brits happy, legally "marmalade" is only that made with citrus fruits, but "marmellata" is how we call any kind of fruit jam/jelly/preserve in Italy, tho technically it should now be called "confettura".
