		<description><![CDATA[I use about the same recipe myself.... I use a lot of onion, some garlic,  and more cilantro, some cumen, and corn and cooked black beans also.  I don't use lemon since our cactus already has a lemony tang to it.

		<description><![CDATA[I'd mention that leather gloves aren't really that good to use for cactus... the glochids will get stuck in the leather, and in time you'll get stuck anytime you use the gloves, and spines will drop off them onto any surface you set them on. Better is to use the thickest rubber gloves you can find. If they are thick enough, you'll get no spines at all.

		<description><![CDATA[   We grow our cactus for humans, but if you share it with your tortoises, iguanas, bearded-dragons or exotic parrots, that's fine with us.  It's much better for them than sharing your iceburg lettuce which really has no nutrients.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ If you'll be chopping the cactus, this is the best stage to get it at. The leaves are easier to clean on a per-pound basis. The smaller leaves of Grade B and Grade A (six to eight inches) will each take nearly as much time to clean as one big foot long leaf. The cleaning time for each might be twenty seconds once one has done a few.

		<description><![CDATA[ I was going past the Saloon the other day, and saw that 'Dusty' had his newly restored 1931 Harley Davidson 'Knucklehead' in his truck. I just had to take a photo. 

  Some fellow told Dusty he ought to charge me ten dollars.  Then some chick came out and said she'd take her clothes off and pose nude on it for twenty dollars more.... but this is a family website.... and Vickie'd not let me alone in town if I came back with pictures like that.

		<description><![CDATA[you can handle these with plastic dishwashing gloves.... and all they need is a scrubbing down with a kitchen pad.... then a trim around the thin edges, and a rinse and pat-dry. So you might find yourself taking a minute per leaf once you have it down... that might take three leaves to get the routine.... it's pretty easy, no more prep time than a bell pepper really or cucumber.
