Eriobotrya Japonica Puns

So, strange fruit it is - Mespillus germanica. Here in germany they often confuse it with Eriobotrya japonica. Most of the recipes in germany mix them up because they both are called the same here. I found out that the leaves are used for healing purposes in Japan BUT I am looking for recipes other than medlar jelly and medlar liquor. I have like so much fruits lying around and wonder what to cook. I don't know how other people extract the pulp(?) but for large quantities I added quite a lot(1l) of water, cooked it until the pulp separated from the seeds and poured it through a fine-mesh sieve. For now I have Medlar-sauce and 10kg of fruit still ripening in my larder. Help me Rayman-help me!

- I bottled my loquat wine today and wanted to show it off. It's my first ever wine and I think it turned out quite well.

• Firstly, a quick lesson straight from wikipedia. The loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is a large evergreen shrub or tree, grown commercially for its orange fruit and for its leaves for tea originated from China and imported to Japan during Tang dynasty at early medieval ages (known as "biwa cha" in Japan), and also cultivated as an ornamental plant.
• The loquat is in the family Rosaceae, and is native to the cooler hill regions of south-central China. The loquat has been grown in Japan for over 1,000 years, and has been introduced to regions with subtropical to mild temperate climates throughout the world.
• Eriobotrya japonica was formerly thought to be closely related to the genus Mespilus, and is still sometimes mistakenly known as the Japanese medlar. It is also known as Japanese plum and Chinese plum, as well as pipa in China, naspli in Malta, níspero in Spain, nêspera in Portugal, and nespolo in Italy (where the name is shared with Mespilus germanica).

- I live in the southeastern US in a coastal city where these fruits grow everywhere. I happily pick and enjoy them straight off the tree whenever I'm walking around but decided to do something a little more fun and make wine this year.

Recipe:

• 4 lbs loquats
• 2.25 lbs sugar
• water to one gallon
• 1 Campden tablet
• 1/2 teaspoon pectic enzyme
• 1 teaspoon acid blend
• 1/4 teaspoon grape tannin
• 1/2 teaspoon yeast nutrient
• 1 package Red Star Cote de Blancs

Process:

1. Wash, deseed, and halve loquats. Add to brew bag within bucket.
2. Add pectic enzyme, tannin, acid blend, sugar, Campden tablet and water.
3. After 24 hours, stir in rehydrated yeast.
4. After 5 days, strain fruit and siphon into secondary.
5. After 3 weeks, rack.
6. Rack every 4 weeks until clear.
7. Bottle when clear.

Hydrometer:

• OG = 1.100
• FG = 0.986
• Estimated ABV = 14.9%

Mistakes:

1. Accidentally used yeast energizer instead of yeast nutrient. Didn't seem to cause any problems.
2. Got impatient and greedy and added bentonite when the wine was already quite clear. It made the wine cloudier so I got frustrated and added DualFine. It made it even worse so I threw it in the fridge for several days. Some combination of all of those mistakes resulted in an very clear wine.

====================================================

Hi all.

My mom passed away last August and I'm in charge of her estate. Mom loved gardening and her garden was an array of roses, succulents, geraniums, and desert plants. When it was at its peak, the garden was quite lovely and tranquil.

But today, mom's residence is being sold and the building will be demolished. Along with it are all the living shrubs and plants that will be destroyed.

In an effort to save them, I've been pretty successful in giving away some plants and shrubs on CL, FB, and Freecycle. However, there are still many plants that need a home.

Somebody on Freecycle suggested I reach out to this group. I hope this post is OK.

Here's an example of what I have listed on Freecycle.

• OFFER: Free Spanish Bayonet Yucca
• OFFER: Free Brunfelsia Shrub (aka Yesterday Today and Tomorrow Plant)
• OFFER: Free Rock Rose Plant
• OFFER: Free Hedge Cactus (Cereus hildmannianus)

You would need to dig and remove these specimens yourself. Please DM me to coordinate a pickup (weekends are best). Since time is of the essence; first come, first served. We are located near the Van Nuys Airport.

Thank you.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!

You take away their little brooms
