Ha ha ha! They have a grape called '*******o'! ROTFLPML!

Nice pic on wikipicitikia. Saved that to use as one of my rotating
wallpapers.

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*!

jar).

So how do you make Windows Me slice garlic?

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.

Windows and garlic?
Any sharp knife will do - and a lot of fresh air.
On the other hand, Windows ME and garlic may go well together.

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

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. You'll notice the dishes I mention that aren't, say,
donuts (which I effectively don't eat anymore anyway) involve seafood,
never bits of mammal.

After a while the smell of meat becomes nauseating. Worst is what it
smells like within a couple of hundred yards of MacDonald's. One bad one
is that dish Noel was talking about the other week. Anything pig-based is
stomach churning. Beef isn't that bad though; possibly because I used to
eat raw steak (round about the time that British beef is supposed to endow
one with CJD).

The smell of (wet) cat food doesn't bother me at all, possibly because
I've never stopped dishing it out; but to me (on my head, son!) the smell
of the *dried* stuff is foul!

I'm sure a lot of people - if as many as that ever came here these days -
will think this explains much!

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

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-))

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!!

Heirloom, old and just made a batch the other night.....sure hope Gore
doesn't find out the real reason behind global warming.
