TraderKate

hi preethi, i'm still here. am in and out...cooking something to eat...starved!

12:59 am

TraderKate

gn flosey

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

what are you cooking?

1:00 am

TraderKate

steak french fries and vegetables...

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

yum

1:01 am

TraderKate

just a quick meal...can't wait for gourmet tonight

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

what is gourmet night?

1:04 am

TraderKate

i like to take the time to cook something really yummy, but tonight i'm too hungry to wait for good food...so a quick fry up and veg in the microwave...franch fries are left over from a couple days ago.

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

aww gotcha

1:05 am

TraderKate

gourmet night is most nights... but i generally coiok enough for two or three nights so just have to re-heat..don't have the time to spend cooking hours every night and i like left overs just fine

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

very luck family kate!!

1:08 am

TraderKate

no family, just me...cooking a decent meal every night for one is a pain in th ar4, and i don't have the time, hence the left over menus...i cook a roast or something and then just have to re-heat..cheating but i can't stand instant food

1:09 am

TraderKate

although i do have a hankering for beans and wieners on toast....

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

I can understand that; I made sloppy joes the other night from scratch, and then the next night used the leftovers with pasta and a cheese sauce for a casserole

1:11 am

TraderKate

FMMitch's b-day today...have been baking in PB for the celebration this evening...a choclit buffet... hope you'll come and sing happy birthday to her and have some dessert and coffee

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

yum and ty; happy birthday fm!!!!

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

mine is friday

1:13 am

Frances

Good morning. Mine is next Tuesday. Don't know about you but my father was home on Christmas leave from the airforce.

1:13 am

TraderKate

that's the key..use leftovers to make the next meal...it makes me absolutely crazy to throw food away. i will actuallly put small amounts of food away in fridge, knowing i won't eat it (probably)and wait forit to grow fur before i throw it away...justified that it was bad

1:14 am

Frances

Have a good one FM.

1:14 am

VolleymomDee

totally understand the fuzz issue

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

my dad was in the marine corps, but I was actually conceived on a beach in NC during a hurricaine (hence my "stormy" nature) hahaha

1:15 am

TraderKate

okay, dee' b-day is friday and frances' b-day is next tuesday...are they on sprite's calendar? i have a very lousy memory

1:16 am

Frances

Hello Kate. I know that mine is not.

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

I don't think mine is, but not sure

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks

1:16 am

jillibus

Hello -- how's this one?

1:16 am

TraderKate

a bit over the line to be sure...but throwing out good food is not possible for me ...need a shrink for sure...and sometimes i do eat it ..midnight raids on fridge..incorporated into something else etc...

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

this grid was a toughie

1:17 am

jillibus

Good for Dee, I see!!!

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

1:36 am

TraderKate

lots of little nothings...can't say i accomplished anything to write home aboiut...but i only needed 5 more words on yesterday's grid!

1:36 am

jillibus

Thought of you this evening, dc -- wonderful premier performance of the new National Broadcast Orchestra, formerly the CBC Radio Orchestra, whose funding was stopped by the philistines in the CBC.

1:37 am

dcseain

1:37 am

dcseain

glad to hear they'll keep going, though

1:37 am

TraderKate

1:37 am

dcseain

well done, kate

1:37 am

TraderKate

ty

1:37 am

jillibus

There was a huge outcry and a lot of it came from our little island, so that's why their first performance was here

1:38 am

dcseain

nice of them :)

1:39 am

TraderKate

ooh, i passed a bunch today in the ranking... zoomzoom's next!

1:39 am

dcseain

go, Kate, go

1:40 am

jillibus

Haydn, Prokofiev, and two Canadian composers, one of whom came to the performance. Jens Lindemann (Canadian Brass) did Haydn's Trumpet Concerto. The whole thing was a blast and the musicians all looked as if they were having fun too.

1:41 am

dcseain

oh, sounds just lovely, jilli! I'm so looking forward to playing with a group again.

1:41 am

TraderKate

well, i'm new.. need to acquit myself well...i won't care in a month...

1:42 am

dcseain

indeed so, kate. in time, one comes to compete with oneself mostly :)

1:42 am

jillibus

I have no interest in the rankings -- they don't seem to make much sense

1:42 am

TraderKate

haven't heard canadian brass in years, sounds like a nice selection of music

1:44 am

dcseain

i saw Canadian Brass for free - or was it $5. either way cheap - at George Mason U when i was student there. That was in '91 or '92.

1:44 am

jillibus

Conductor was Alain Trudel, almost dancing on the podium

1:44 am

TraderKate

my first night on was 11pm...you can imagine how many words i got...next night was a huge one..and i only got about 1/3, so once those are gone it'll liook better...have finished most to date..with help

1:44 am

dcseain

oh, he is fun to watch, and does lovely work, i agree, jilli

1:44 am

TraderKate

they've been around since i was a kid jc..used to play the schools

1:45 am

TraderKate

they are very ebntertaining to be sure

1:46 am

TraderKate

1:50 am

dcseain

Mendolssohn's Die Hebriden is one of my absolute favourite pieces to perform

1:50 am

jillibus

They did Haydn's Symphony No 1 too -- both No 1s on purpose because it was their No 1 performance :)

1:51 am

TraderKate

not familiar with that one; for strings i assume?

1:51 am

dcseain

:) what a lovely leitmotif for the performance

1:51 am

TraderKate

who did you go with?

1:52 am

jillibus

I went with me.

1:53 am

dcseain

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (yes, that extra "k" is intentional) is one of my favorite ballet troupes. I met most of them some years ago, when some of the original founders were still active. Never met a group of nicer people!!!

2:15 am

TraderKate

you'd love it i'm sure jil..like i said it is real ballet..the fouette is to die for

2:16 am

hjst

Sian might be the western spelling I guess

2:16 am

TraderKate

how long have you been there h?

2:16 am

hjst

not long, about 5 months full time

2:16 am

jillibus

I have some stamps from Sian in the 30s, I think.

2:16 am

TraderKate

2:19 am

TraderKate

how are yu doing with the language issue outside of work?

2:19 am

hjst

(my father is scottish, I grew up in baghdad and muscat)

2:19 am

hjst

Mandarin is HARD. I'm struggling to be honest

2:20 am

dcseain

i found Mandarin much easier than i'm finding Arabic, in terms of writing and grammar especially.

2:20 am

hjst

it's the tones I find difficult

2:20 am

TraderKate

most business is now being conducted in english, is that correct? i understand it has become the internationl language even in asia?

2:21 am

dcseain

you'll get the hang of them faster than you think, hjst; you're hearing it all the time - it'll click

2:21 am

TraderKate

it's all tone and inflection isn't it?

2:21 am

hjst

traderkate: yes and no, we're a long way from Beijing and Shanghai here, not many people speak English

2:21 am

hjst

dcseain: that's what I'm hoping :-)

2:22 am

dcseain

tone and emphasis, actually Kate. Due to the tones, inflection is less important, and sometimes impossible.

2:22 am

dcseain

oftentimes impossible, actually.

2:22 am

TraderKate

must be very difficult, the languages are so different than many of the ones we are more accustomed to..no familiarity whatsoever

2:22 am

dcseain

ea9 :)

2:23 am

TraderKate

change the tone , change the meaning - right?

2:23 am

dcseain

and a related ea8 after it

2:24 am

hjst

traderkate: yep, my education in latin, ancient greek, french and italian is bugger-all use here :-)

2:24 am

dcseain

yes, kate. though one syllable/tone can have many meanings zhong1 ranges from China/Middle/Centre to Orange Juice and 5 other meanings, for example. Each meaning has different written form though, at least in traditional characters

2:25 am

hjst

doesn't ever seem to help me much at babble either come to that...

2:25 am

dcseain

LOL hjst

2:28 am

5:48 am

FMitch

heavens that must have been a bind!

5:49 am

Atalante

normally I'd ask husband to download from my email at his work, but this time I just couldn't. Some guy from Asia was sending me huge huge image files for Oxonmoot - well, kind of, we are having a "discussion" about what level of adult material should be allowed in the art show. So, he labels all his files to me "pictures of anal sex in comics"

5:49 am

Atalante

Merrill's would have *loved* that!

5:50 am

FMitch

LOL and good lord!

Haz1558

'Tis us, indeed. Welcome back!

6:41 am

Atalante

Back properly, I *hope*. I kind of bodged a fix together rather than did it the official Orange way!

6:41 am

Haz1558

Is your connection all better now or is it still sticky tape and paper clips holding things together?

6:41 am

Anniebrook

Hi Haz, lovely icon for FM

6:42 am

Haz1558

Hello Annie! I thought it was nice and colourful. I couldn't find one of a tenrec saying Happy Birthday.

6:42 am

Atalante

very much sticky tape and paper clips :)

6:42 am

louuol2004

howdy all!!

6:42 am

Haz1558

I'd have been REALLY smug if I'd managed that!

6:43 am

Haz1558

Hello lou.

6:43 am

Anniebrook

Hi lou

6:43 am

Haz1558

Are you getting all caught up with the news?

6:44 am

Atalante

I'm trying. I'm sure I'll miss all sorts of exciting things though

6:44 am

jacq

i keep seeing the musician word

6:45 am

Haz1558

FM's still to blame for everything. Nothing new there.

6:45 am

Atalante

well that couldn't possibly change, ever

6:46 am

Haz1558

That's true. Unless she got some kind of diplomatic immunity.

6:47 am

Atalante

and she hasn't

6:47 am

Haz1558

Andree has chosen a puppy - a spaniel/poodle cross to be named Beau, there are photos on her profile.

6:47 am

Atalante

awwwwwwww!!! how adorable

6:48 am

Haz1558

It's a spoodle. And check out lynxx's profile for some really funny dog breed mixes.

6:48 am

Atalante

spoodle! LOL!!

6:48 am

Atalante

how's life in Ballymena?

6:49 am

Haz1558

It's fine. We've had lots of sunshine over the past week and the ground is drying up nicely.

6:50 am

Atalante

we had *huge* deluges a few days ago

6:50 am

Haz1558

Really? The weather is so peculiar, so unsettled. Was there any damage done?

6:51 am

Merk

clue for me 7 please

6:52 am

Atalante

a good few trees / tree branches scattered around. And one scared pup

6:53 am

Haz1558

me7 - one who prefers to use the opposite of imperial measurement of distance?

Haz1558

Poor pup!

Sally-catlover

Hi, hi, hi all babbler friends. Back last night from 10 days in Italy. 10 days without Babble!!

6:54 am

Haz1558

I can't think of the proper term for not imperial.

6:54 am

Atalante

she needed to cuddle up to me all night. much rain allll night long

6:54 am

Haz1558

Hello Sally. Did you have a nice time?

6:55 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Merk.

6:55 am

Sally-catlover

Fabulous ty Haz. Venice and Florence.

6:55 am

Atalante

how lovely!

6:56 am

Sally-catlover

Looks like a nice size grid to return to.

6:56 am

Haz1558

I can feel that green colour rising again.

6:56 am

Sally-catlover

You mean green as in the colour of pistachio ice cream?

6:57 am

Atalante

mmmmmmmmmmm

6:57 am

crosshair

good morning babblers:)

6:57 am

Haz1558

You just had to bring Italian ice-cream into it, didn't you?

6:57 am

Atalante

why is Italian pistachio ice cream better than pistachio cie cream in any other country?

6:57 am

Sally-catlover

Innocent look.

6:57 am

Haz1558

Good morning cross.

6:58 am

crosshair

i can nake a nachio or torrone gelato that whould bring a tear to yer eyes haz;))

6:58 am

Haz1558

The clue might be in it being Italian. I love the way they display their ice-creams.

6:58 am

Sally-catlover

All Italian ice cream is better, for sure. Wistful sigh.

6:59 am

Atalante

yes, all Italian ice cream, but *espeically* pistachio LOL

6:59 am

Kallia

7:01 am

Trifioso

oh, I do love the early morning babble crowd!

7:01 am

Haz1558

Andree, she's been in and out a bit.

7:02 am

Haz1558

Is anybody else preening themselves at Trif's praise?

7:02 am

Andree

trif nearly 2 weeks, how did your day end up yesterday, did you get through the ordeal okay

7:02 am

crosshair

7:02 am

Trifioso

7:02 am

Atalante

7:02 am

crosshair

oops need tea

7:03 am

Dorens

Haz1558

And the voodoo doll, Trif? Well pockmarked afterwards?

7:03 am

Haz1558

Hello Dorens, didn't see you before.

7:03 am

Trifioso

LOL haz, no.

7:03 am

Andree

Atalante

7:05 am

Andree

i can't, i am naming him after the divine springer i had 20 years ago

7:05 am

Trifioso

weirdest ex request was for all the framed wedding photos, which he wants to hang up in his new house. Huh?

7:05 am

Andree

how wierd trif

7:05 am

Trifioso

I know, right?

7:05 am

Anniebrook

that is strange, trif

7:06 am

Trifioso

apparently he feels it will offer "stability and continuity" for the kids. Um.....no.

7:06 am

DR1965

I dont believe him

7:06 am

Anniebrook

Trif, do not hand over all the pictures

7:07 am

Trifioso

and I had to bite my tongue about in HALF when he said he didn't want to take one painting we had because it would "break up a set". Yes, pity to break up a set, dear

7:08 am

Trifioso

at this point, I am so "whatever, tool" about the whole thing. they are just THINGS - I get the children.

7:08 am

Sally-catlover

How wise you are Trif.

7:08 am

Atalante

awwwwww what a lovely way to remember an old friend

7:09 am

Anniebrook

I hope you are getting decent child support also (if you dont mind mysaying)

7:09 am

Trifioso

but, please, you all - remind me I said that when the girls have their next "sleepover with cast of thousands" okay? LOL

7:09 am

DR1965

I agree Trif

7:09 am

Trifioso

don't know yet annie. hopefully? I am trying to focus on needs, not wants. If I have enough to cover what we need, we will be fine.

7:10 am

Anniebrook

The children will have a loving and stable home with you, Trif.

7:10 am

Trifioso

I can stretch a dollar, believe you me! raised by two depression babies, and a grammy that knew hard, hard times in Scotland during WWI. AND, I am a Yankee gal to boot! A Scottish New Englander is the very definition of thrift!

7:11 am

Wolvie

good morning all

7:11 am

DR1965

but you deserve more TRif- you did not do this... remember that

7:11 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Wolvie.

7:11 am

Andree

hi wolvie

7:11 am

Haz1558

As long as you don't have to resort to drawer porridge, Trif.

7:11 am

Trifioso

drawer porridge! lololol

7:11 am

Atalante

gruel

7:12 am

Haz1558

Legend has it that Scots people would make vast quantities of very thick porridge, store it in drawers and hack out a piece as required.

7:12 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz

7:12 am

Anniebrook

Yes, which is fine. Their Dad should also take care of the children's financial needs. The financial burden should fall entirely on you.

7:12 am

Wolvie

oh my

7:12 am

DR1965

I have never heard that Haz

7:12 am

Trifioso

DR dearest, I have a roof over my head, food for my table, and a warm, clean bed to sleep in. Good health, and people who love me. I need to remember that - I already have more than I deserve

7:12 am

Wolvie

hey ata!

7:13 am

Haz1558

It's probably a vicious rumour but it's a good story.

7:13 am

Trifioso

yes, more fine dining from the folks who brought the world haggis

7:13 am

Wolvie

trif - i can tell you are strong just from your posts. Will keep positive thoughts for you. :-)

7:13 am

Wolvie

haz, you are too funny. ;-)

7:13 am

Andree

my dad in scotland before the war would spend his small amount of pocket money on potatoes and gravy

7:13 am

DR1965

ok Trif- * stepping off my soap box- HUGS

7:13 am

Atalante

thick porridge with SALT in

7:13 am

Trifioso

HUGS right back!

7:14 am

Haz1558

You wouldn't dream of putting SUGAR in porridge if you're a Scot. It's against the law.

7:14 am

Trifioso

I think I would probably take my chances with drawer porridge over grits. I just can't eat grits at all. (shudder)

7:14 am

Andree

you have the right attitude trif

7:14 am

Andree

my dad had his all his life with salt

7:14 am

Haz1558

Drawer porridge is the way forward. You can bring it with you when you move house and everything.

7:14 am

Atalante

ew ew ew ew. salty porridge is horrid

7:15 am

Wolvie

ata - you back with a broadband now?

7:15 am

Trifioso

provided you can lift the drawer, haz!

7:15 am

Atalante

I *think* so, wolfie. either that or this is a fluke for a few hours lol

7:16 am

Wolvie

well neighbor me on farmville girl, you got me started. :-)

7:16 am

Haz1558

You're never suggesting that a brawny Scot wouldn't be able to lift his own drawers? Haven't you seen them chucking telegraph poles about?

7:16 am

Atalante

can manage grits or porridge, just not a huge plateful of utterly bland biscuits and gravy

7:16 am

Wolvie

I hope it lasts!

7:16 am

Atalante

getting there! got millions of requests to work through!

7:16 am

Trifioso

LOL haz!

7:16 am

Andree

qu6 please

7:16 am

o-o

and when you don't need the drawer porridge for food, you can use it to block the tires of your car on a steep incline

7:16 am

Wolvie

eeewwww to grits. ;-0

7:16 am

Wolvie

oh - is there a grid? lol

7:17 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, BabbleRabble, it's a multipurpose food.

7:17 am

Wolvie

or tool. ;-)

7:17 am

Haz1558

I think I should patent it before anybody else does.

7:18 am

Atalante

or use it as a trampoline

7:18 am

Wolvie

I do too haz

7:18 am

Trifioso

brain, please stop entering the word "chair!" it is not in the grid today.

7:18 am

Wolvie

ata - i don't think it would have much bounce. lol

7:18 am

Wolvie

but it should be trif

7:18 am

Wolvie

i keep seeing it too

7:19 am

Atalante

the skin on the top would be lol

7:19 am

Trifioso

oh gads, haz, a memory stirs! used to get horrible oatmeal at summer camp - left in the bowl untouched, it would congeal into a bouncy blob, that you actually could bounce a spoon on. icky

7:19 am

Wolvie

eewww lol

7:19 am

Haz1558

It could be used to describe some babble grids. 'It's like trying to hack out a piece of drawer porridge.'

7:19 am

crosshair

ahh i remember porridge as a child..grey as a november school morning and thick enough to stop a bullet;/

7:20 am

Trifioso

now with extra wood lice!

7:20 am

Wolvie

andree, I am looking for that qu in between chats

7:20 am

DR1965

I am so not hungry after this chog

7:20 am

Atalante

qu + hairy-nosed dolphin, changed last letter

Wolvie

Haz1558

7:21 am

crosshair

now the table sppon of cod liver oil was sold as that

7:21 am

Andree

7:21 am

Haz1558

You really had a good time as a child, didn't you, cross?

7:22 am

Haz1558

Like some of these words.

7:22 am

Trifioso

DR, I had a apple cider donut for breakfast today - very yummy!

7:23 am

7:24 am

crosshair

7:24 am

flosey

darn, I changed my icon but it hasn't taken it was for FM's 50th birthday

7:25 am

Trifioso

7:25 am

crosshair

mm go figure cornflakes and single malt scotch must go good together;))

7:25 am

Haz1558

Begorrah! They're fond of the cornflakes,are they?

7:25 am

jmcnrick

7:25 am

Trifioso

7:25 am

Wolvie

hey jmc

7:25 am

flosey

oh thankyou Haz, I still see the old one - I updated internet explorer and have had problems since!

7:25 am

Haz1558

They probably lost the recipe for drawer porridge and are having to make do with cornflakes.

7:25 am

crosshair

bacon flakes!!!

7:26 am

Wolvie

that would be faith and begorrah. ;-)

7:26 am

DR1965

1/2 c. stick margarine
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 1/4 tbsp. Corn syrup
1 tbsp. Vanilla
3/16 tsp. Salt
1 12.5-oz jar Schmucker's marshmallow ice cream topping

Beat together first 6 ingredients with mixer's wire whisk attachment. Beat in marshmallow topping on high speed until evenly incorporated.

ra 4/4 is ra plus two more vowels regis & hello there!

8:23 pm

we use tofu in LOTS of things, cross. It's a good substitute for the egg-milk combo often used.

We sometimes go on vegetarian kicks; but vegan is a lot more restrictive than we've ever tried

8:23 pm

But then we have a friend who is allergic to soy... and one of our kids really doesn't do well on vegan diet (one does better -- go figure)

8:24 pm

did someone ask for the tr8?

8:25 pm

stidmama

the problem I find is that people who actually eat a lot of food that would be vegan get weirded out when we come to visit and make a BIG DEAL out of how far out of their way they have to go to accomodate my food allergies.

did yu kinow that soy acts like estrogen in the body as it breaks down...it's not just extra body fat that's making today's girls reach menarche at an earlier and earlier age...scary if you think about it

his Vegan Creamy Whipped Topping Recipe was submitted on 02/21/2003 by Joyce from MA.

"This is a healthful soy-based alternative to whipped cream."

Ingredients:
1 cup drained and blotted soft silken tofu
2 tablesppons confectioners' sugar or 1/4 cup sugar syrup* or natural liquid sweetener
1 tablespoon safflower or other neutral-tasting oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Directions:
1. Place the tofu, confectioners' sugar, oil, vanilla, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor and process until smooth and creamy.

2. Transfer to a small container, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This topping should be used within a few hours after making it.

* Sugar Syrup
combine 1/4 cup of sugar or other granular sweetener with 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and allow to cool before using. If you're not using sugar, use a light-tasting natural sweetener so it doesn't overpower the flavor of the topping.

8:28 pm

sorry

funny up here cause everything is shipped in the winter..going vegetarian would be about 4x the normal food bill..yea no boy-tofu bobbies

EXCEPT, kate -- that cultures that have a lot of soy in its regular forms (and as tofu and tempeh) DON'T hit menarche early. I think it's like the added sugars ...

they get feminine traits...you know boobies etc. but need high doses in males to have effect because they have so much more testerone to counteract the estrogen.

Nef, we have had 3 teens with positive pregnancy tests in the last 2 wks. I had to deliver the news to a 17 yr old and then her mother on Monday

in cultures where there is a long history of soy consumption( don't mean 10-20 yrs.), you will probably find genetics accounts for menaqrche onset. in western cultures, where obesity rates are sky-rocketing- especially amongst the poor who can't afford decent diet...manarche has come at an alarmingly eary rate...10 years olds is not uncommon anymore!..the move from our mother's generation to our own is mostly due to better diet from increased wealth post ww2...but noew...it's mcdonald's kfc no exercise and kraft dinner

My job mostly saddens me but there are responsible parents out there that I admire greatly

8:37 pm

NO! oh that is awful. We have increasing obesity rates among young children here, too. It's so sad to see FAT children, too winded to play, and no interest in it anyway.

8:38 pm

stidmama

we freeze a good bit of fruit when it comes ripe (most years), but canning for some reason feels a lot more difficult. I would love to do more with vegetables and sauces.

8:38 pm

I can't imagine what a 91 lb 4 year old would even look like!

8:38 pm

Yes, this little boy came in due to leg cramps with exercise. Well, he is a 91 lb 4 yr old!!

splitting a CSA share with a friend or neighbor can make it more affordable, and easier to use it all.

TraderKate

DAWG!!!!! missed you lots...buffet ready

9:09 pm

crosshair

lol chineese food in a can kate??!! sorry not here yet:)

9:09 pm

jillibus

maybe I like cilantro hidden, dc, although vietnamese restaurants don't exist on this island, but pilesw of the stuff on otherwise delicious foods are a turnoff to me.

9:09 pm

lbdawger

(((TK))), buffet of what?

9:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

OR you can start one. if you need a job you can become the czar in your state

9:10 pm

TraderKate

for FM's 50th...pic in icon...menu in profile, goodies in profile

9:10 pm

lbdawger

i think a lot of folks over do the cilantro. it's good for a light flavoring, but can be overwhelming and takes over the other flavors

9:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think it tastes like soap.

9:10 pm

crosshair

lots of big 50,s going on this year it seems;)

9:11 pm

lbdawger

ahhh, birthday bash! gotcha

9:11 pm

TraderKate

Nef

I just think that that would be so neat! The suburb I live in has a great farmers market with all sorts of local stuff (from cheese to fresh veggies and fruit to meat even); but it's on an evening when I have to work and I've missed it a lot this summer. A CSA would take care of that

9:12 pm
