I've started several replies over the past few days. Right now am attempting to reduce my tabs to under 150, so will just say I went to the farmers market today for the first time in a year and a half. Damned maskers.

But I walked in unconfronted this time, and the one guy from out of the area, who I deem innocent, was there with his 20 types of dates from some enormous date farm in southern California. Got 8 pounds of my favorite types of dates.

Everyone else can fuck off and die.

A date with death.

If you get the chance, try some unpollinated Dayri. They have no seed or end cap. I like the dryer dates, and especially dates like the Deglet Noor that turn hard as the sugars crystalize.

I've found the site of the farm that grows and sells them. https://flyingdiscranch.com/

Saved.

Didn't check shipping, but the pound costs are equal or lower than the farmers market price.

I rationed the last dates I got in 2020, and only finished them about a month ago. Just kept them in the paper bags on my counter, and over the year they got deliciously hard from the crystallization. They also have the soft and gooey dates, if you like those.
