-Ripened or -dried?

I sometimes buy [Melissa’s](http://www.melissas.com/Products/Products/italian-sun-dried-tomatoes.aspx) brand bottled sun-dried tomatoes, and it would be helpful to know just how Melissa has been putting them up. and possibly where.

Isn’t menstrual"blood" not blood, in the common sense of what circulates in our veins?  
When I cut myself and suck the cut, I always think it tastes kind of salty.

Coins, definitely not batteries. I find it kind of disgusting actually, but I have always reciprocated(plenty of women describe semen as akin to garbage juice, so don’t give me shit) and have never commented on the taste to my partners.

Joyce has one of the characters in Ulysses say the taste of vagina is like licking lobster and mayonnaise.

In the dim dear distant past, my then girlfriend would when aroused drip vaginal juice (there’s \_ gotta\_ be a word for thIs liquid) to the floor before we even had made physical contact.

When we moved into the main events, I noticed a distinct geographic point at which  
the taste changed from one liquid to another as I moved upstream.

I would like to thank the contributors to this thread for reminding me of this long-forgotten fact and for allowing me to submit it for your consideration.
