12:15 am

helenkeller

someone please tell me the official difference between an herb & a spice - i was going to use dill, but then i thought, no that's an herb

12:15 am

FranMag

melon, you're such a go4/9 ball!

12:16 am

FranMag

Herbs vs. Spices

We often use the words herb and spice interchangeably. Herbs and spices are obtained from plants. (Salt is neither a spice nor an herb. It is actually a mineral.) Herbs and spices are used primarily for adding flavor and aroma to food. And both are best used fresh but can be saved by drying. While there are similarities, there also are subtle differences between herbs and spices.

Herbs are obtained from the leaves of herbaceous (non-woody) plants. They are used for savory purposes in cooking and some have medicinal value. Herbs often are used in larger amounts than spices. Herbs originated from temperate climates such as Italy, France, and England. Herb also is a word used to define any herbaceous plant that dies down at the end of the growing season and may not refer to its culinary value at all.

Spices are obtained from roots, flowers, fruits, seeds or bark. Spices are native to warm tropical climates and can be woody or herbaceous plants. Spices often are more potent and stronger flavored than herbs; as a result they typically are used in smaller amounts. Some spices are used not only to add taste, but also as a preservative.

Some plants are both herbs and spices. The leaves of Coriandrum sativum are the source of cilantro (herb) while coriander (spice) is from the plant's seeds. Dill is another example. The seeds are a spice while dill weed is an herb derived from the plant's stems and leaves.

12:34 am

helenkeller

12:34 am

helenkeller

ok, tx

12:34 am

sprite

I have the an7. German plural for the german An6.

12:35 am

SummerRose

Can you clue the an6? Pls?

12:35 am

sprite

Looked up the def to see what it means in English.
1. Biology. The initial clustering of embryonic cells from which a part or an organ develops; primordium.
2. A genetic predisposition to a given trait or personality characteristic.
3. A fundamental principle; the foundation for a future development.

12:36 am

sprite

Or: an + site slowness + vowel = 6. Add consonant for the 7.

12:37 am

helenkeller

yes, clearly summer sis not take her ritalin today, can

12:37 am

helenkeller

t wait more than 1/2 hour before asking for clues, lol

ga 6

12:39 am

sprite

I am pretty sure that 'pagh' is Klingon for some kind of (still moving) food.

12:40 am

helenkeller

lol sprite - sounds about right :)

12:40 am

melonheadjujube

ga6/27 is plural of ga5 - a quick dance - horsy sort

12:41 am

sprite

there are 2x ga6/27. Last 2 letters differ.

12:42 am

melonheadjujube

OK - got the an7 - the German hint helped - in english, an prefix doesn't usually precede p or l, converts to am for the p - enough linguistics....

12:42 am

helenkeller

huh melon?

12:42 am

sprite

true, melon.

12:43 am

melonheadjujube

oh never minds me - i was just trying to say i could not think of any english words that begin ANP or ANL.

12:43 am

melonheadjujube

it made sense, sprite - i'm a bit punchy - last wet day in ceramics studio is tomorrow - i'm finishing up my second ever teapot

12:43 am

helenkeller

melon - please stop hurting my head! :)

12:44 am

melonheadjujube

that was a question: it made sense, sprite?

12:44 am

tazpink

o sprite ty starts tge same but different ending??

12:44 am

melonheadjujube

ooooh, poor hk, {pat on head, verrry gently}

12:45 am

sprite

yes, it did, melon! In Dutch you cannot have ANP either, the N becomes M before P. Not sure about the L, but pretty sure we don't have ANL words either.

12:45 am

melonheadjujube

oh, looky - i passed halfway & got the 7s - 'nite!

Then you are one of the few lucky ones, Crone!

Haz1558

an7/36

5:17 am

kthdsn

ty haz is it a regular word that i have a chance of finding?

5:18 am

Haz1558

It's a German plural word for an6/24. Not a common word I would say.

5:19 am

Haz1558

In embryology it's the equivalent of a bud, in psychology it's an inherited trait.

similar to make larger, kth

5:25 am

Wolvie

opps - that's the 6

5:25 am

Haz1558

an7 - google Belfast river, then change the final vowel. The singular word is formed by removing the final consonant

5:25 am

Eva

figured you were just absorbed-do you have an an7 yet?

5:25 am

Wolvie

add a hump letter for the 7

5:25 am

I've found 9 words since my first post. I'll carry on. LOL.

5:30 am

Eva

Haz-I keep googling belfast river and not finding anythng with an an....what am I doing wrong?

5:30 am

Jacula

Incidentally, Hunting Cat seems okay this morning so I assume it was someone' defrosting dinner (the chicken breast) he nicked last night and not a poisoned one.

5:30 am

6a

eva the river comes after the an

5:30 am

Haz1558

It's an plus the Belfast river (final vowel changed). Sorry, I should have made it clearer.

5:30 am

Eva

ah...

5:31 am

Haz1558

Well, I'm glad Hunting Cat is okay, but keep your head down as you go past your neighbours' houses.

5:31 am

5:38 am

Haz1558

Good morning LoriP. Maybe, maybe not. How's that for decision?

5:38 am

Scrabbler

My morning newspaper (tossed at the end of my driveway) is often missing, and I suspect neighbor's dogs steal it for their owners.

5:38 am

FMitch

It's a good mix of normal and the weird and wonderful today LoriP

5:38 am

LoriP

Haz, for breakfast, did you have waffles....... :)

5:39 am

Scrabbler

Lori, we will help keep your BSE (Babble self-esteem) in the high range. Just ask for clues!

5:39 am

Haz1558

No, I have the same breakfast every morning to save me having to decide on anything else!

5:39 am

LoriP

LOL Scrabbler, that's good to know.

5:40 am

Jacula

feline Fagin? That's nice. Harumph! I go off to make a pot of tea and I am maligned! LOL.

The self-esteem issues will be for those trying to give clues to weird words.

5:41 am

Scrabbler

Is everyone ready for their Thanksgiving feast? I still have a few items to buy, but the big bird is defrosting in the refrigerator (so the neighbor's cats cannot get to it)

5:42 am

kthdsn

we don't have thanksgiving over here

5:42 am

Jacula

We don't do Thanksgiving here in UK, Scrabbler. 23rd not a good day for me anyway; 3rd anniversary of my Dad's death.:(

5:42 am

Wolvie

5:42 am

anawaltgal

my kids are all coming home - very ready

5:43 am

Scrabbler

I know, but you're missing out on a day of gluttony and fun. (Sorry, Jacula :<(

5:43 am

Eva

One Thanksgiving heard a thump in the kitchen, as I was sitting with guests, went in and found the 26 pound turkey on the floor with the cat perched on top.....didn't say anything to anyone, but carved the bird before it got to the table to disguise the claw marks

5:43 am

FMitch

I'd love to see a cat try to steal a frozen turkey!

5:43 am

Wolvie

picking up my turkey at the local farm tomorrow

5:43 am

Wolvie

LOL eva - what else could you do?

5:43 am

Scrabbler

LOL Eva!!!

5:43 am

Jacula

Eva - LOL. I'd have done the same.

5:43 am

FMitch

Classic Eva was that Merp?

5:43 am

5:44 am

Ahh yes, almost Thanksgiving to the south. Eva, you made the only choice possible in that aituation. :)

5:44 am

kthdsn

blood what is tagine?

5:44 am

Eva

no-one of Merps' predecessors-Atticus. Glad to see that my ethics are upheld

5:44 am

Jacula

One Christmas, my Mum and my auntie got drunk whilst cooking dinner & they dropped the turkey on the floor. They served it up and said nothing until afterwards.:)

5:44 am

Bloodaxe

i'll show you!
give me a sec.

5:44 am

Eva

love tagine!

5:45 am

Wolvie

tagine is great

5:47 am

Eva

non cat people can be a bit squeamish about things like a little fur or cat drool on their food. I just don't think abouit where those paws have been

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Or where their tongue has been.

5:47 am

Eva

well yes, that too(-:

5:48 am

Jacula

Yuk, Scrabbler. Well, Hunting Cat has a foot fetish - not only 'humps' my shoes but licks my feet. Makes Paul go green (and not with envy).

5:48 am

FMitch

I was never that keen on turkey anyway :)

5:49 am

Wolvie

lol FM

5:49 am

kthdsn

I don't like turkey either

5:49 am

Jacula

...Which is why, when he licked the topping on a lime cheesecake & a chocolate cake, I binned them!:(

5:49 am

Bloodaxe

did it work?

5:49 am

Eva

Merp has a habbit of toe nibbling Jac-can be a bit shocking to guests, especially ones who unconsciously wiggle their toes

5:49 am

5:50 am

kthdsn

yes blood I see it, what is it though lol

Jacula

Blood - Yes. It looks tasty. You've made me hungry now.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

My bunnies are lickers too. Sebastian, the one I sleep with, sometimes licks me in my sleep and then I dream that it must be Russell Crowe or George Clooney licking me.

5:50 am

kthdsn

lol scrabbler

5:50 am

Jacula

Scrabbler - I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.

5:50 am

Bloodaxe

sorry jac.
that was one of my favorite tagines.
i also love the kefta, which is like a meatball tagine with a red sauce.

5:51 am

bonkler

well george clooney does have that twitchy nose and big floppy ears...

5:51 am

Jacula

bonkler - LOL.

5:52 am

Bloodaxe

kt, tagine is a generic name for the type of dish. it's cooked in the clay pot on an open fire of hot coals. there are several different types of tagine, several variationsof chicken, beef, and lamb.

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Well, go ahead and cry for me Jac, because those men will never be licking me except in my mind.

5:52 am

kthdsn

oh ok blood, doesn't sound like my kind of food really

Jacula

Aw, Scrabbler.((xx))

5:53 am

Bloodaxe

5:53 am

kthdsn

5:53 am

5:54 am

Bloodaxe

yea, you wouldn't like tagine...hahaha

5:54 am

Jacula

bonkler - ROFLOL.

5:54 am

Scrabbler

That's OK, Jac. I accept that my fantasies are not at all based on reality. (LOL, bonkler)

5:55 am

Bloodaxe

5:55 am

Last year I helped my grandma clean out her closets and all her clutter to re-organize. I found 103 rolls of 110 film, so I had them all developed for her Christmas gift. I wasn't as crafty as you are though, but it was great sitting around looking thru them.

7:22 am

Faerie

7:23 am

Faerie

Thats right BV he think twice the next time won't he

7:23 am

FMitch

What was his reason/excuse for buying it?

7:24 am

bunnyvicious

I let him take the Best Buy card to replace my camera cord, he said the stereo was on sale, it was a great deal.

7:28 am

bunnyvicious

Oh, here's another. We just bought this house with the intentions to add on right. I framed out a cat house (big one) and then threw out my back, so he finished it. Looks like two four year olds put it together, horrible!! Can't imagine what the add ons will look like!!

7:28 am

Faerie

I guess one of the perks of being single is that I don't have to ask anyone before make any type of purchase

7:29 am

Faerie

I only answer to myself *now did you really need that* rofl

7:30 am

kthdsn

lol faerie

7:31 am

bunnyvicious

He's not prone to impulse buys, he's actually pretty frugal. It was just the amount of the purchase that got to me, but he countered with, " You put a microwave and vaccum on the card!". So...

7:32 am

Faerie

9:21 am

bgmadden

Restaraunts and stores are at least 20 minutes one way to get to.....I would say the midwest is great because people have a level headed perspective out there.

Interesting LuwandaHL. I have friends/relatives in Md Va, Penn, Ind. i wasn't aware of such a system.

9:34 pm

LoriP

Thanks for the encouragement. it's not a ploy, just a desire to spread out a bit.

9:35 pm

majmom

sh 6/21and the 5/12 after it?

9:35 pm

lbdawger

I like that all year round system. I know a lot of kids who would benefit from it. I think some European schools are run that way.

9:35 pm

LuwandaHL

I first heard of in in Aurora CO. My school system has offered it for 10 years

9:36 pm

LuwandaHL

we also offer traditional schedule. we are a large suburb system so we can offer both in elementary and middle school

9:36 pm

lbdawger

what you might say to a pesky critter to move then add the hockey stick letter

9:37 pm

LuwandaHL

I chose this schedule because I think it is extremely good for education - both students and teachers

9:37 pm

lbdawger

i think a lot of kids would benefit from shorter sessions of learning all year round, verses trying to cram info into their heads in 180 straight days

9:38 pm

LuwandaHL

we also offer 2 week remediation during fall and spring break for half of the day

9:38 pm

LoriP

I agree, in a general way. This is a much debated topic within my immediate family circle.

9:39 pm

LuwandaHL

the kids still get the afternoons off and a week break at the end

9:39 pm

LoriP

My youngest started school this year, my eldest started Uni, I've seen the educational spectrum from bth sides, as a parent, and through educators eyes.

9:40 pm

lbdawger

i wonder how much better the kids retain information? from the scores i see at the cc, it's rather scary. so many can't read or write and we wont talk about numbers!

9:40 pm

LoriP

SATs are still used in the US, but they're becoming less important.

9:41 pm

lbdawger

ETS scores are highly inflated.

9:41 pm

stidmama

no Lori, different colleges use different measures for admissions. Some use ACT instead, and all take grades and outside activities into account as well

9:42 pm

stidmama

hello professor! ready for the kid yet? just informed him he is ON HIS OWN when it comes to all school work. We'll see if he does better or worse...

9:42 pm

riemann

The SAT people didn't like the falling scores, so they started curving the grades. The result: colleges use the SAT less.

9:42 pm

LOL All I know is they're hard liquor and they are way different from rum.

10:06 pm

chj

hey renfield did you finish the grid

10:06 pm

Jacula

Good morning, all. What is the difference between Scotch, Irish, Rye and Bourbon Whiskies?
Scotch Whisky is whisky which has been distilled and matured in Scotland. Irish Whiskey means whiskey distilled and matured in Ireland. Whisky is distilled in Scotland from malted barley in Pot Stills and from malted and unmalted barley or other cereals in Patent Stills. The well-known brands of Scotch Whisky are blends of a number of Pot Still and Patent Still whiskies. Irish Whiskey distillers tend to favour three distillations rather than two, as is general in Scotland in the case of Pot Still whiskies, and the range of cereals used is wider.

As regards Bourbon Whiskey, the United States Regulations provide:

(i) that Bourbon Whiskey must be produced from a mash of not less than 51% corn grain;

(ii) that the word â€˜Bourbonâ€™ shall not be used to describe any whiskey or whiskey-based distilled spirits not produced in the United States.

Rye Whiskey is produced both in the United States and Canada but the name has no geographical significance. In the United States, Rye Whiskey by definition must be produced from a grain mash of which not less than 51% is rye grain. In Canada, there is no similar restriction. The relevant Canadian Regulation states:

â€˜Canadian Whisky (Canadian Rye Whisky, Rye Whisky) shall be whisky distilled in Canada, and shall possess the aroma, taste and character generally attributed to Canadian Whisky.â€™

Canadian Whisky is in fact often referred to simply as Rye Whisky or Rye.

Jacula

What are spirits?
The term spirits describes the product of distillation, whatever the raw materials, or whether it be in a pure state or contaminated by impurities normally present in any distillate. Generally, the word refers to any volatile inflammable liquid obtained by distillation.

Spirits for human consumption, or potable spirits, are the distillates of alcoholic liquids, the alcohol in which has been formed by the fermentation of sugar as contained in grapejuice, sugar cane, etc., or in saccharified materials such as specially prepared cereals, e.g. malted barley.

jillibus

10:10 pm

Jacula

LOL, stid. I did think about signing is as 'Can't Sleep!' but I didn't want to deceive you all.

10:10 pm

Jacula

Poteen - lethal Irish hooch (made from potatoes).

10:11 pm

10:11 pm

jillibus

I said I was leaving for a bit but I guess I lied

10:12 pm

jillibus

10:20 pm

chj

i heard who knows where the time goes on the radio today

10:20 pm

chj

perhaps it goes into outer space

10:20 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, speaking of eggs, I read today that there's now and EU (European Union aka Interference In UK Affairs from Brussels) that all eggs, free-range or otherwise, have to be stamped with the date & time laid & the identity of the hen who laid it. If that's not ridiculous, I don't know what is!

10:20 pm

Reese\'s

I'm listening to Akon right now!

10:20 pm

renfield

renfield

10:23 pm

Jacula

Where does time go? A question that becomes more urgent, the older you get.:( Come to think of it, where does time come from? And who's to say what time is anyway?

10:23 pm

Jacula

Big questions of life! LOL.

10:23 pm

Reese\'s

10:23 pm

Jacula

10:24 pm

jillibus

back again with tamari almonds, tonic instead of vodka, and joy that I have fresh free-range eggs in my fridge, courtesy of a lady I work with at the library who has several free-range (including her kitchen) chickens named Vanessa because she can't tell them apart, although there's one called Buttercup for some reason

10:24 pm

chj

10:25 pm

Jacula

jilli - I hope the eggs were stamped with the identity of the layer and the time and date! LOL. (See my earlier post re EU directive.)

10:25 pm

chj

oh what times are these when a woman cant walk the streets without fear of having a milkyway put in her hand

10:25 pm

stidmama

cool. It's the Marco Polo episode...

10:26 pm

Jacula

chj - LOL.

10:26 pm

Reese\'s

it's like playing tag with candy bars!

10:26 pm

Jacula

I thought it was a 'fun-sized Mars bar' that women were in danger from.

10:27 pm

renfield

and the lady behind the counter said....the biggies are 2 for a $1.00.......it was an easy sale

10:27 pm

saffta

how do I tell how well i'm doing?

10:27 pm

Jacula

Don't know if you had those bars in USA, but the males here in UK certainly got lots of innuendo out of the advertising for them.

10:27 pm

helenkeller

hey everyone!

10:27 pm

chj

sure the old bait and reel em in technique

10:27 pm

Jacula

Hi Hell!

10:27 pm

jillibus

soft-boiled (4-minute if they're big like Vanessa's) eggs and "soldiers" or "dipper-inners" -- lovely. Those soldiers are pieces of hot buttered toast cut into strips so that youcan dip them into the decapitated eggs in an egg-cup.

10:28 pm

stidmama

we have Mars bars, but not sure about the innuedo bit...

10:28 pm

renfield

10:35 pm

Jacula

That'll be it, stid.

10:36 pm

chj

does gary have a pretty smile?

10:36 pm

Jacula

Oh, ren, don't talk about Spongebob or I'll start thinking about that episode where he had his head shaved down to his brain for a Hallowe'en prank.

10:36 pm

jillibus

you'll never be lonely in babbleania

10:36 pm

stidmama

renfield

10:37 pm

Jacula

jilli - I know, that's why I came here.

10:37 pm

10:41 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, Hunting Cat came home to bed tonight with no 'prizes'. As you may recall, if you were here at the time, he brought home a raw chicken breast last night, having obviously sneaked in through a window and nicked someone's defrosting dinner.:(

10:41 pm

helenkeller

loaded question, haha

10:41 pm

stidmama

saffta, that's pretty good. is it your first time playing?

10:41 pm

10:42 pm

Scarlet

I am at the end of the long rope. Can anyone help with my last two words? bu 5/16 and bu4/7? My monkey died.

10:42 pm

stidmama

only if we want to, saffta! there are two resources most new folk appreciate: Angelsong's Resource Page and Lickety's Babble Clues, both have links at the bottom of this page.

10:43 pm

stidmama

bu 5/16 is plural

10:43 pm

stidmama

bu 4/7 is the roll with a double last letter

10:43 pm

Jacula

Scarlet - bu 4/7 & plural bu5/16 - Little rabbits?

10:43 pm

stidmama

*plays sad music for Scarlet's monkey*

10:43 pm

Jacula

stid - I can hear that violin!

10:44 pm

saffta

10:45 pm

pupsmom

10:45 pm

saffta

what does it mean when it says next to g 4/7?

10:45 pm

Jacula

I was trying to play WebBoggle just before I came in here but, as usual, the site was playing up. No wonder someone was signed in there under the name 'FIXTHEDAMNSERVER!'

10:45 pm

saffta

iwin.com is where tangleword is

10:45 pm

stidmama

hi Tea! did I see something about tax preparation?

10:45 pm

saffta

10:45 pm

renfield

yayayayay scarlet!!!!!

10:46 pm

Reese\'s

10:46 pm

stidmama

YAY Scarlet!

10:46 pm

TeaNCrackers

10:47 pm

pupsmom

thanks jacula!

10:47 pm

Reese\'s

does iwin.com cost anything?

10:47 pm

stidmama

Tea, I once considered doing that for extra money, but my last accounting courses were nearly 20 years ago now, and I am sure the laws have changed a lot since then.

10:47 pm

Jacula

saffta - If you go to the 'Help' section just above the chatlog, it will help you.

10:47 pm

Jacula

y/w,pupsmom.

10:48 pm

Scarlet

'Nite all. Stid and Jacula, you two are among the great helpers in the history of my mind! Thanks, again.

10:48 pm

TeaNCrackers

H & R Block is a great way to go - the first class is $200, but after that, they are cheap and you learn a lot!

10:48 pm

jillibus

helenkeller

10:49 pm

jillibus

Not just pretty, stid -- read...

10:49 pm

Jacula

jilli - very clever eggcups, keeping the 2nd one warm and also catching the drips.

10:49 pm

stidmama

well it's certainly something to consider... I don't really want long-term employment out side the home, just a way to get a little ahead.

10:50 pm

renfield

i don;t want employment inside the home

10:50 pm

Jacula

Oh heck! I must be getting tired again... I read stid's post as 'don't really want long-term enjoyment outside the home'.:(

10:50 pm

stidmama

oh! so you put another egg in the under side... very smart!

10:51 pm

stidmama

LOL Reese! _and_ Jac!

10:51 pm

jillibus

oh, jac -- your eggs and soldiers are making me drool

10:51 pm

helenkeller

10 to go - going to finish sudoku now, brb

10:51 pm

chj

jac please make me a nice softboiled egg for breakfast

10:51 pm

TeaNCrackers

it is a great opportunity for part time seasonal employment and it really doesn't interfere with school schedules.

10:51 pm

stidmama

oh -- it was ren. my eyeballs are getting even tireder.

10:51 pm

stidmama

later helen!

10:52 pm

stidmama

I'll look into it...

10:52 pm

jillibus

and stid -- your eggcups are just beautiful!!!! (But Vanessa's eggs might be too big)

10:52 pm

renfield

it was me

10:52 pm

Jacula

chj - I could, but it might be a bit rubbery by the time you get it in the post. I could try e-mailing it, but it might gum my computer up.

10:53 pm

renfield

i admit it - my hand does not fit a swiffer nor a toilet brush, and i don;t know nothing about loading a dishwasher

10:53 pm

stidmama

I don't actually have any eggcups, but all this talk of soft-boiled eggs makes me think maybe it would be fun.

10:54 pm

Jacula

ren - a proper pirate would have said, 'T'was I!' Aar, Jim lad.;)

10:54 pm

chj

i love to load the dishwasher

10:54 pm

Reese\'s

well didn't finish, but night everyone! leaving for oregon tomorrow, so i might be back! see ya"ll

10:54 pm

jillibus

chj -- do you like emptying the dishwasher?

10:54 pm

stidmama

I didn't say I did housework, ren.... at least no more than I must to stay healthy! LOL no, I pretend to be a gardener and artist.

10:54 pm

chj

but im one of those compulsive nuts who has to clean the plate before it goes into the dishwasher

10:54 pm

Jacula

Loading a dishwasher is easy, ren. In this house, I just pile everything up beside him when he's near the sink.

10:54 pm

stidmama

good night Reese, enjoy Oregon!

10:54 pm

chj

i do like to empty too

10:54 pm

renfield

oh gosh...i'm an improper pirate who works outside the home...i've been branded

10:55 pm

chj

especially when the plates are still hot

10:55 pm

renfield

hahhahah mistress...my kind of dishwasher

10:55 pm

jillibus

night Reese's!

10:55 pm

Jacula

Do not own, nor want ot own (unless I start catering on a grand scale) a dishwashing machine.

10:55 pm

jillibus

guess it depends on who's washing the dishes...

10:56 pm

stidmama

chj, warm plates or warm towels, clean and dry is nice!

10:56 pm

renfield

sorry stid.....i have a green thumb...(i think it's from the jello) and i like to watch the yard dude work in the yard...

10:56 pm

Jacula

jilli - Well, you wouldn't have wanted my great grandmother or one of my aunts as your dishwasher - both were notorious for bashing stuff against taps and smashing itl

10:56 pm

chj

im also a compulsive cleaner when i cook

10:57 pm

busyrae42

10:57 pm

Jacula

Hence, not many Vicotrian & Edwardian pieces survived intact from my Great Granma's belongings after she died in her 90s. God Bless Her.

10:57 pm

chj

10:59 pm

stidmama

10:59 pm

stidmama

YAY Busy!

Jacula

chj - Then stick to what my Domestic Science (Scottish) teacher always told us in her Miss Jean Brodie voice, 'Wash up as you go along, gels!' I've been to quite a few school reunions now and everyone I've spoken to still hears her advice ringing in their ears, and obeys, as they cook. Me included.

10:59 pm

11:04 pm

11:04 pm

stidmama

11:04 pm

Jacula

11:05 pm

Jacula

11:06 pm

chj

11:06 pm

Jacula

Every year, the little market town I shop in weekly is invaded by crowds of strangers who block everything up.

11:07 pm

Jacula

Where do they shop the rest of the year? Why do they invade us a month before Christmas? Another of life's mysteries!

11:08 pm
