Or swallowing!!!

Hey, it came from Men's Health Magazine, and no one even said a word about cigarette butts in half-full beers!!!

I just hope they make them check the bottoms of said shoes

As per Carolyn's thread, eat licorice. If the fertility test were packaged by a drug company with a little stick, you wouldn't think twice of dutifully peeing on that.

Shallots are shallots, scallions are green onions, whether wild, bunching, or walking. Then, if you aren't confused enough, there are potato onions, which are closely resembling cippolini.Onion tops are up there too. When you buy 'em, you know what you're looking for, so what's on the plaques does not count. But a true shallot is quite different from scallions. More like elephant garlic cloves, but with a faint onion smell, and a fox, russet, or purplish skin. Are you confused yet? Edit to add: I think the best onion confit starts with a 'right smart' onion, as my mom would call them, a lot of nice onion savor getting transformed into onion HEAVEN!

Oh yeah----and your waiter/ess campaign shoutin' like a Southern diplomat...

Works for us.

There is an interesting way of determining fertility, in a folkish way. You save your wife's (or is that mid-wifery?) urine every day going into the full moon. Every day, you put 5 red wheat grains in the urine, on the fertile days the wheat sprouts exceptionally well, you have the dates, and it does not take that much to plot those days the next month. Kamut and quinoa are perfectly acceptable replacements for wheat. Mr. Moby, GOOD LUCK AND DOUBLE BLESSINGS FOR YOUR WISH TO PROCREATE...the world needs good children with humor and conscience! And guess what, I do not charge 1,000's.

I have never indulged in lutefisk, but it seems like it gets turned into fish jello, seein's how they lye-bathe it. Please enlighten me oh lutefisk devas! cinghiale, is that a javelina?

I wish they'd have said at least something about raisins or other stuff piled out in the sun to dry. There's usually campesinos walking all over it with rakes and shovels, moving the wet stuff up topside.

Don't worry 'bout pronouncing, get to buying and eating!

Wonder what she'll think they taste like?

This is cruel and unusual punishment to anyone who does not tote kids and their requisate (?) Wet Wipes.

ellencho, is this lady in charge of any large important lab projects now? I hope it's with veggies!!!

Tequila Sunrises. Not only do I think of the song if it's a beautiful shimmery sunrise, but I think of my girlhood friend whose parents had a bar, and who made the most beautiful Tequila Sunrises. Three different floating colored layers,yum.

Oh yeah, tomato and onion sammiches on thickly sliced fresh bread.Liberal pepper, judicious salt. Hog heaven with some bacon. Blow BLT's out of the galaxy!!

Thank you for that. I was starting to feel as if I was in the cable hinterland. Hell, I missed the horserace Saturday, too. But I did see both Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory airings.

YUM...Cheese Steak Spring Roll!!! Why didn't one of us think that up?

OK, I may have to turn in my eG card after this, but down in Fort Worth, there are two places I miss so baaaad sometimes. One is Pancho's Mexican on West Camp Bowie, the other is Peony's on the Weatherford Traffic Circle. Pedestrian...yeah....cheap...yeah...good in and out with a workcrew...YEAH...food good?...YEAH Thanks for bringing up whipped cream with malt powder...SO will love some of that!!

If they didn't want us to eat it, why'd they make it smell 'eatable'?

Whoa, esvee...you're in the running for the roses.

fifi, what truly scrumptious pictures. Have not been able to make mine, but that came out purty as a new calf!

Chris, I don't know whatall to do with them, but I am going to see about getting some...thanx!

Baking is a version of fishing...a bad day baking is still better than a good day doin' something else.

Ahhh, Mayhaw Man, you are a lucky soul indeed. Those pitcherplants were gorgeous! How about a chutney? My gram made what she called a tomato jam, that we ate as a side dish, that I now know was a chutney. Yum. I believe you have single-handedly saved Mississippi MILLIONS of bucks in school budgets, trying to figure out illiteracy problems there...as well as giving me three new words that no one will be sure whether I'm sneezin' or cussin': OKTIBBEHA---YALOBUSHA--NOXUBEE...Thanx!
