Dates are one of my favorites, and I enjoy them very much. I like the pitted ones. How about you--do you enjoy dates?

LOVE them Dates! Ever had a Date milk shake? They are the BEST!
Puree about a half cup of chopped dates with half cup of milk in the blender, add a little bit of sugar if you want. Then blend in a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream.
ENJOY!!
My DH does triathlons and every year he does one out in Palm Springs. We always make a trip to "Oasis Date Gardens" to sample their dates and get a Date shake.
To go along with the "Whole Foods" thread, I just bought a slice of "Mitica Date Walnut Cake" at Whole Foods last week. It is what "fruit cake" is supposed to taste like. Yummy!

I prefere January 28, March 19, July 20, and October 5.
Those are my favorite dates.

I went to the grocery store to find a date, only to find they were out of date.

I love the pitted candied dates that are packed so tightly into a brick that you have to pluck the dates out one by one.

YES! Chopped dates... with chocolate chips... Much better than oatmeal raisin chocolate chip.

An oatmeal cookie without chocolate chips is like a cake without frosting... tasty, but incomplete.
