Really busy these days, mange tout?
Ha ha ha! They have a grape called '*******o'! ROTFLPML!
Nice pic on wikipicitikia. Saved that to use as one of my rotating wallpapers. "Mungo the Invariable" wrote in message ... Yeah, I reckon I could go for that. Have to look into the Douro, as long as it has dry in the description. I actually tried an English wine for the first time this birthday. A dry white. It wasn't at all bad! Even more surprisingly it came from Dorking (which is near the M25 and not very far from Mike and somewhere I used to regularly ride through using the A25 as a picture skew alternative to the motorway and I just can't get my head round it being a *wine producing region*. There's a big one near me, in the Forest of Dean, which is kind of where I'd expect an English vineyard - but *Surrey*??? No, I'll have to drink a few more bottles before I can see that one). Meanwhile, while we're on the subject, my French French teacher couldn't tell me this: why is a bague a sort of bracelet, but a baguette a stick of bread? Let's see Windows Me answer *that*! The Real Shane "Heather" wrote in message ... How about smoked salmon with capers, sliced red onions and a baguette........forget the pasta. Washed down with a nice bottle of Douro white........ The Canadian Gourmet "The Great Mooshta" wrote in message ... Perhaps I should talk about tonight's dinner? (Tagliatelle with salmon - probably with red pepper pesto out of the jar). So how do you make Windows Me slice garlic? Incidentally, today's moniker is to make it *really* easy for the Government to know who the insults are from. The Real Shane |

Yes, the trout/rice deal sounds very nice. Actually trout is almost the only
thing I barbecue these days. I did swordfish last year but thought it was better fried (with just *half* a field of garlic). Rarely do I not have peas (what other colours do you have then Figgs?), but often have sliced fried courgette instead. Goes really well with fish I think. "Heather" wrote in message ... lol......Actually, we are having grilled trout with rice and green peas. My absolutely favourite meal.........after rare roast beef, which we are having tomorrow night.

Don't have meat in this house, well very rarely, the only meat John likes or
will eat is Chicken he reckons it's because he didn't grow up eating it and yet he likes the offal, kidney's and liver. He doesn't like pork, lamb, beef or even mince so when I used to make shepherds pie always had to make him something different, he hasn't got any better with age either especially being diabetic and not being allowed to eat some of the cheaper food. We both love fish but you can't have that every day either and he's fussy give him something a couple of times and he decides he's gone off it grrrrrrrrrr he's just a nightmare trying to find something different to eat everyday g And you're making me feel hungry especially talking about doughnuts, it's OK though I've got a couple of cream horns in the fridge and a strawberry trifle yummy. g -- Joan Archer http://www.freewebs.com/crossstitcher "Mungo the Invariable" wrote in message ... I don't talk about it because someone always asks 'why' and I'm not in it for the moralizing, but in '89, when I realized that my sister was perfectly healthy despite not having eaten meat for three years, I gave up the farmed variety.

I'm guessing you still have good memories of your holidays in Portugal.

LOL!! Nice to "read your face" as Heirloom says. Loved a particular white
that we drank in Porto a lot. Ron and Elayne liked a red that we can't get here. You would think that living in a town that is inundated with Azores families that we could get those two wines, grin. I will have to find their names again. And yes, I think we liked Porto the best, although Coimbra was quaint. Too bad you had to go out of town.........and damn, that Saint Day was 24 hours of NOISE!!!! LOL. I think you must have 365 different Saint Days........and we hit a few of them. Loved the church in Porto with the 500 kg's of gold.....wanted a small souvenir, grin. Cheers....Heather "oops!!" wrote in message ...

We have yellow peas too, not to mention Mungo and Gunga Din ones. Every
Caribbean Island uses a different type of pea in their Rice & Peas. I use kidney beans myself. 8-)) "Mungo the Invariable" wrote in message ... Yes, the trout/rice deal sounds very nice.

The Ersatz Shane We are not talking split personality here, are we? Didn't think so, you just like variety and there's nothing wrong with that at all, especially when it comes to eating. Can you help me make sense out of them 'prunes'? Same Old Harry. P.S.: In another NG someone has this approximate tagline: "Don't pick a fight with an old man, he'll just kill you". It sort of fits my mood once in a while. |

Good Lord! I go away for a little while and the place turns into the stuff
that falls out of the back end of medium sized animals. How can a trout have mange?.....they don't even have hair! And, I had to look up "offal." Holey Moley! The got the name right, just spelled it wrong..........should have been "awful." You people want something to eat, come to my house. None of this hoity-toity, snoot flute, namby-pamby, tofu pablum here. How about a heapin' bowl of pipe cleaning chili!!! Yeah, that's the ticket!!
