  1. Allen & Ginter baseball card sets are a throwback to an old style, and have been known to include tobacco card mini-size and oddball insert sets -- this year's has a card of my dad!

  3. I see on the book of faces that former outfielder Jay Johnstone has passed away, but I can't find confirmation of it anywhere. Does anyone know?

        1. He sounds like he was a good guy. Leaves behind a wife to whom he was married for 52 years. COVID took his life, while dementia apparently took too much of him too soon.

    1. I wonder if the feta is the note of discord there. Pecans, raspberries and spring mix ought to go great with turkey and ham.

      1. Good point. Our raspberry bushes have been going absolutely nuts this past month or so. I should experiment with some ham/turkey/raspberry sandwiches.

        2. I love the flavor of raspberries, but hate the seeds (from years of them getting stuck in my braces as a kid, I suppose). But my parents make raspberry jelly and syrup from theirs....

          1. My middle school years were spent living on a farm that had an apple orchard, concord grape vines and some big blackberry bushes. Juices, jams, jellies, apple butter, pies, cobbler and crisp every fall. We also had a huge garden so there were tons of beans and peas and corn and tomatoes, etc. to can and freeze. Mom's pressure cooker ran pretty much non-stop for about two weeks every fall.

      2. I identified the problem. I thought I was buying smoked ham. I bought black forest. The turkey was cajun. That combo was, in a word, not good.
