| Feasting On Cacti by Bruce Hargreaves |
| The Sunday after the last meeting was my birthday and I was taken to
the Cactus Valley Restaurant on Rosedale Highway. I was pleased to note they have a small succulent garden and I
sampled their cactus soup which I found delightfully spicey. By coincidence my older son, John, sent the following poem by e-mail. |
| There's no pal like a nopale A great pal o'mine For fencing or eatin' it is more than fine A pokey green boundry on which you can dine There's no pal like nopale A great pal o'mine |
| It reminds me a bit of a poem the Kem Cactus Club printed in the 60's which started: |
| Alo little owl in the Aloe You are such a cute little fallow |
| Unfortunately I have forgotten the rest........ |
