In botany, a drupe (or stone fruit) is a type of fruit in which an outer fleshy part (exocarp, or skin, and mesocarp, or flesh) surrounds a single shell (the pip (UK), pit (US), stone, or pyrena) of hardened endocarp with a seed (kernel) inside. The definitive characteristic of a drupe is that the hard, woody (lignified) stone is derived from the ovary wall of the flower. In an aggregate fruit, which is composed of small, individual drupes (such as a raspberry), each individual is termed a drupelet, and may together form an aggregate fruit. Such fruits are often termed berries, although botanists use a different definition of berry. Other fleshy fruits may have a stony enclosure that comes from the seed coat surrounding the seed, but such fruits are not drupes. Flowering plants that produce drupes include coffee, jujube, mango, olive, most palms (including açaí, date, sabal and oil palms), pistachio, white sapote, cashew, and all members of the genus Prunus, including the almond, apricot, cherry, damson, peach, nectarine, and plum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drupe
Ruth Reichl quotes: “A thousand years ago the Chinese had an
entirely codified kitchen while the French were still gnawing on bones. Chopsticks have been around since the fourth century
B.C. Forks didn't show up in England
until 1611, and even then they weren't meant for eating but just to hold the
meat still while you hacked at it with your knife.”

moment. I did not know where my life was
going, but right now the future did not trouble me.”

Morus, a genus of flowering plants in the family Moraceae, consists of 19 species of deciduous trees commonly known as mulberries, growing wild and under cultivation in many temperate world regions. M. alba is native to South Asia, but is widely distributed across Europe, Southern Africa, South America, and North America. M. alba is also the species most preferred by the silkworm. It is regarded as an invasive species in Brazil, the United States and some states of Australia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morus_(plant)
The Donald J. Trump Presidential
Library is a planned presidential library in Miami, Florida. Currently, a website administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)
is in place. The website was launched on
January 20, 2021, when President Donald Trump left
office as the 45th president after
his first term. It serves as a placeholder until a presidential library is
built. It will be the 15th NARA-managed presidential library. Plans to build the library and museum remain
on hold after Trump began his second, non-consecutive term as
the 47th president on January 20, 2025. In
September 2025, it was announced that the library would be built at Miami Dade College's
Wolfson Campus in Downtown Miami, Florida.
The NARA library is established by the Presidential Records Act and is independent of possible plans for a physical building under the Presidential Libraries Act. All current content has been previously available to the public, including websites such as Melania Trump's Be Best, photographs, and social media accounts including @POTUS and @FLOTUS. Other private records from Trump's first term are subject to access requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) from January 2026. While most records will be open to FOIA requests by 2026, records could be withheld from public access on the basis of executive privilege for up to twelve years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_J._Trump_Presidential_Library
The name pretty much says it all: sugar + cream. Add in the Hoosier and you have a nice nod to the thrifty Indianans, likely Amish or Shaker farm folks, who created this pie in the pioneer days. Sugar cream pie is what's known as a "desperation" pie, the kind of dessert you could make on a farm when you didn't have fresh fruit on hand. The Indiana Foodways Alliance calls the dish "Indiana's come-home-to dessert" and they've created a "Hoosier Pie Trail" with must-stop eateries for visitors looking to try their state pie. Their descriptions of mom-and-pop joints like Stories Restaurant in Greensburg, Indiana or the famed Mrs. Wick's Pies in Winchester would make any pie lover want to jump in the car.
