You must be feeling better Poodlepet!  Great to see your sense of humor back on the boards.  You had us worried for a while.  Hope you are healthy again and can stay healthy for 2017!

Zhills,that was supposed to be "great" the way Tony the Tiger said it....I guess they don't make commercials like that anymore....

 

Have you ever noticed that we tend to have conversations on "Memory Lane"- kind of funny, because my memory has gone to heck......

@Poodlepet2  

 

One of the guys I used to work with said we should all go into the same rest home when we got too old to work, then we could tell each other all the same stories over and over and they'd all be new again. 

 

I really enjoyed this thread -- I read a LOT of recipes and I'd never run across Mangetout before either -- courgette et aubergine, oui, even calamondin (which is an "acid orange"). I guess if we could pronounce it, we could use it as a toast, or maybe an endearment or even an exotic curse (you little snap pea, you?). Smiley Very Happy

I really need to start studying French again.  I used to look for Canadian sites and music, but the dialects are so different. The only ones I had a vague understanding of were broadcasts from Quebec it seems.

 

I was really doing well-at least reading and writing and coming from a stronger Spanish background, it wasn't easy, but it's so elegant, ne pas? Sigh...I probably messed that up.

 

Well, I guess I will start making dinner.....
