❤️ 'The Great Pawpaw Adventure!' ❤️ Today mom set out on a 'Pawpaw Fruit Adventure'. After driving to a few beautiful locations we decided to 'Explore' 'Noland's Ferry Trail'. I first asked a couple we saw 'Adventuring' if the knew anything about 'Pawpaw Fruit' or 'Pawpaw Trees'. They said they didn't know anything about them. They then decided to look them up online before continuing on their 'Adventure'. They soon passed us again & told us that they found 'Pawpaw Pawpaw Fruits' in 'Pawpaw Trees'. The couple explained where they had found them & we continued on. We had already found lots of 'Pawpaw Trees'; but the ones we had seen were bear. However, after the nice couple showed us were to look we found a bunch of 'Pawpaws'. 💚🌷🐈‍⬛💚 We soon decided to end our 'Exploration'. After all we had found what we had come for, 'Pawpaws' & 'An Adventure'. 😺❤️ We then started 'Our Journey Home' so we could continue 'Our Pawpaw Adventure' in my kitchen. At home we cut & ate the 'Pawpaw Fruit'. We have about 5 that were too hard to eat right now left in 'The Fruit Basket'. I also cleaned & saved the 'Pawpaw's' gorgeous seeds. 💚 Now, for the moment of truth. My mom really liked the 'Very Messy Pawpaw Fruit'. I liked them; but they weren't my favorite fruit. I may try making 'Pawpaw Bread' with the 5 that are left after they ripen. I think I will probably like the 'Pawpaws' better b'Bked In A Nice 'Sweet Bread''. 💚🥭🐈💚 Regardless of how good the 'Pawpaw Fruit' was; 'Our Adventure Was Epic'. I think that it needs to become a new 'Fall Tradition' for my family & I. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Sincerely, Christine Clare Vilgos-Mitchell & Mom 😺❤️ Thursday, September 22, 2022 (Evolved From: Facebook Post) 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️ #pawpaws #pawpawfruit #pawpawfestival #pawpaw #foraging #forage #foraginginthewoods #adventuring #adventure #exploring #tryingnewthings #tryingnewfoods #familydays #familytime #family #adventures #adventurestogether #fromtheland #funtimes #funwithfood #funwithfamily #harvesttime #pawpawseason #localfood #nativefoods #food #foodie #girlsthateat #hungrygirl #lovesfood https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci3KkgRpIvO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@jonbsnowmusic is the best husband in the universe! Won't show you the mostly eaten part, but he brought me the yummiest ice cream sandwich ever. Having had straight pawpaw fruit...this was the just right amount of flavor. And these were no lie the best shortbread cookies I've had. Thank you sweetie ❤ @treepgh #Pittsburgh #arboraid #pawpawfestival #leonasicecreamsandwiches #jonbsnowmusic #1husband #musicphotographer #concertphotographer
