I drive right by LACMA every weekday morning to take my son to school, but I haven't actually been to the museum for over a year; your photos have reminded me I need to go again. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for all the enjoyment you've provided over the years (I was specially touched by the poignancy of "The Magic Mirror"), and thanks for such a fun blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580853.post-53533483806907330722008-11-02T02:13:00.000-08:002008-11-02T02:13:00.000-08:00I don't know the actual name for the squash, but m...I don't know the actual name for the squash, but my ex-mother-in-law (who is Chinese) called them "si-gwa". Not only are they a delicious squash, but loofah sponges are made from them ! If you grow these, you can make your own loofahs. You have to let the fruit get really mature, then pick it and dry it COMPLETELY. hanging on the fence. My ex-mother-in-law grew them and made her own sponges, and they also taste really good sauteed with butter (but when they're young and tender, not old and spongy). BTW, you're a very talented artist, and I'm inspired by your work.Jerrilynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643638809015133564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580853.post-512350679496783542008-11-02T02:10:00.000-08:002008-11-02T02:10:00.000-08:00The hanging squash are known as si-gwa and they ar...The hanging squash are known as si-gwa and they are an Asian squash that is very tasty. Also, loofah sponges are made from this same squash! The fruit are allowed to mature, then they are hung to dry; and the remaining plant material is washed away, loofah sponges are on the inside! Most people don't know that.Jerrilynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643638809015133564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580853.post-70722246617012909972008-10-23T20:39:00.000-07:002008-10-23T20:39:00.000-07:00They are trumpet squash.
