Plums:
Made "Marian Burros' Purple Plum Torte" for the Nth time because it's simple and simply awesome. Recipes all over the net, including in the past in RFC. Google it and/or search RFC archive of your choice. Did I mention awesome?

Prunes:
Not paying close attention because, basically, IDGAF, but some time ago the dried fruit industry decided to stop calling them prunes (associated with constipated old people, I guess) and started calling them dried plums, which of course is what they are, to appeal to a wider demographic. But apparently they have became prunes again. Just bought a can, being old and constipated (or maybe just remembering that I like them as is or in various grain and fruit bars). Perhaps old people didn't know what dried plums were. :-)
God:
Just a teaser in the subject line. Ignore.

them, too. They're good as pierogi filling.
Can't stand prune juice. Bottling (cooking) it takes away all the tartness
and complexity, leaving just sweet and iron tastes.

intestines? That's a common as dirt, and not really worth talking about.

A lot of cereals can help with digestion. Semi-sweet chocolate, too.
