Very good day! I just found out my son, who has been out of school since November, has been accepted to a fabulous special needs school. Happy sunshiney day!
 
"A camel is a horse designed by a committee."

"A committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brains."

"A committee is a bunch of people sharing a brain."


Not wanting to pick nits (really, I don't want to even touch the foul little bastards) but not even one of those assertions is based on fact.

The radishes I bought last night at the farmstand are really, really spicy/zesty.

What is the right adjective to describe the taste of a radish?

Sharp and crisp, maybe. Spicy and zesty also work. Fresh radishes are awesome, I really should get to the farmer's market more.
 
Can you get - and there is no way of saying this without innuendo, I'm afraid - those big, black radishes in the US? They are super hot, and I've only ever been able to buy them in Germany.

Farmer's markets sometimes have them in Canada, I expect that would be true in the US as well.

I have heard that once you go black radish you never go back, but that's strictly apocryphal.

I think they call them "Jesse Owens" radishes. They grew really fast.

Profiling?

I've never seen nor heard of them...hmmmm...must go Google.

Cyrano ~ I love having the farm stand nearby...they had some fantastic looking kale and chard that I may pick up before the weekend. And the strawberries!! Wowza!
 
Look, not every black radish is big, stop stereotyping!
I know, I know, it's what you do with your radish that counts. Forgive my crudité.

One day I will learn to judge a radish not by the colour of its skin but by the content of its flavour profile.
