It is indeed Joseph Fiennes standing with Rob. Fiennes will star in the series. That picture keeps popping up in different media, so the photographer, who is my SIL, is probably happy.

[DingoGirl]

...but WHAT is the meat content???......beef mince ground beef???

Sounds like our (British) 'faggots'

NO, REALLY!!!! (sounds disgusting, tastes delicious! )

Open Original Shared Link

faggots!!!!!! you NEVER hear that word any more, 'tis incredibly offensive!!!!!!!

<I actually SEVERELY ADMONISH anyone who says it in my presence>

Faggots are MEATBALLS?????????? Using entrails offal? good lord........ :vomit:

Meat loaf is made with ground beef. I think some people use ground turkey, but, that grosses me out :gag: sometimes ground pork is added.....somehow that grosses me out too

Offal grosses me out even more.

I think what with my recent experience and knowledge of the phire service you should take me as your HAIRDRESSER!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!! I COMMAND thee!!!!!

Alas, no blow dryers in the camp setting......no showers......just natural, untouched hag-ness

Oh, it IS Joseph Fiennes!!!!!!!!!!!!! swoon-worthy, for sure!

HI Jan-it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elye]

Wonderful articles, POeter! This series is truly exciting. Jack just finished Flashforward, and said it is favorite R. Sawyer book to date.

Such a shame he's not as handsome as his brother. Ah well, I guess he'll have to survive on his stories.

I've seen them both in the flesh, and 'tis true.

speaking of hotties - I have a chance to go up and help feed about 100 firemen in the mountains next week......boss is begging me to go but....

One hundred sweaty, virile, stripped-to-the-waist, firefighters. . ...... . . .strewn throughout the mountainside. . .. ........

BEVEL!!!!

Sounds like our (British) 'faggots'

NO, REALLY!!!! (sounds disgusting, tastes delicious! )

Gawd. what wif civkebs, faggots,queens,gays meatballs, haggis, (pukey green-faced icon) hotties, stripped firemen in de bush, I think I really need a mojito too. Luv them drinks what have to be muddled, gets yer off to a good start.

Quick recap: I still has cellulitis, never had no progeny (Dh and I so unique, not reproducible) so borrows ovver peeples' kiddoes when I needs 'em , besides I has Miss Em; will nevah!! appear in de Book--very unexhibitionistic and is askeert of it; Barb away on anuvver housesit for 10 days, but y'all should see my garden with its absence of weeds and presence of weedcloth and bark all in de proper places and looking so classy--well half-way round de house anyway. I got so inspired I whacked the hell out of me leucodendrons what was trying to climb in my reception roomliving room (dat one was for you Nickerler--been watching Escape to the Country too much) windows, and as a reward have dese luverly bruises all over me hands. Looks like I was in a boxing match!

Oh well, anuvver day in de salt mines. Have the alstromeria in me sights today.

Peter

What a wonderful article on your brother.

I learned so much.

The book sounds like a great read

[elye]

Emmel! You can have this refreshing minty drink WITHOUT sugar. I'll make it for you.

Sooooooze! Yes.... . . . . . .I wanna come to yer place, larf at Weezie and Skit Scat, hide from Senor Gardener and sip sugar-free mojitos!!

Um, that is a lot of sugar, but 10u might just cover two of them.

.....Two!? Hell, I'd better be bolusing 20u er sumphin'........ .. .

And as a reward have dese luverly bruises all over me hands. Looks like I was in a boxing match!

A boxing match? Well, Shroomie, watch those bruises carefully.....they will probably move together and begin to look very like Mohammed Ali............

[tom]

well........will continue to watch my native American show on PBS

I meant to watch it all - well wasn't excited about Wounded Knee ep detailing 70s protests. Missed the 1st, then recorded Tecumseh. Was kinda disappointed that it seemed slow & tedious. Only got thru it piecemeal.

Were other episodes better?

I was again just thinking of Amanda. .......hope all is okay her way...

Ditto

PHATAUGHM!!!!!!!!!!!!

. .. ..

Please, stop eating ALL phood & then you'll be PSUPER PSILLIE!!!!......_{won't you??}

You wouldn't beLIEVE how often I wish I didn't have to eat at all . .. ..so *&^%$# tired of it.

Ooooo more author publicity!! Count me in for watching FlashFwd!

My shrieking reply would be "noooooooooooooooo! not DAWG FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hehehe such a rotten kid

no ice cream? boo!

PadT!!! .....no ice cream???.........hanus

bleh . ....last real ice cream for me was over 5yrs ago.

Pig kidneys and hearts, minced, wrapped in pieces of stomach lining . . .. . . . ........

Actually, I quite like haggis, and this sounds similar.. . . ...

Gyah haggis!!! Weird parts AND oatmeal right?? Too strange.

But since learning that chorizo requires pig's lymph glands, I've become more open to the weirdness non-standard parts.

Mmmmmm I used to love the cho .. . ..

. .. ..hmmm how many yrs since chorizo ....3?

[flourgirl]

Nope--I just had to modify. I seem to be fine with greek yogurt, cheese and milk. But not ice cream Tried 3 different brands--no go. When I get me ice cream maker out of storage, I'm gonna try homemade.

I got brave, though and tried tapioca too--that was a bad idea! Tapioca still hates me

M-m-m-m....meatloaf

Have you tried frozen yogurt or custard? Maybe that'll sit a bit better. That's all we buy anymore. I've lost my taste for Ice cream....seems too heavy and I think it's one of the things that bothers me.

[mimommy]

Hi all! Today is my hubby's birthday, so I did what any loving wife would do. I gave him a huge rack.

_{oh, I brought home babyback ribs. what rack did you think I meant?}

And, I bought him a box of flair!

Hey . . . Was it Raechill that was sittin on some duck eggs??? . . . How's that coming along??? Isn't it about time for some baby ducks?? (I saw some baby geese on my way home today . . . started me wonderin')

Momma duck iz still sittin' on them, but no signs of hatching yet. I think it's been too long. Poor momma--all that work, and might not payoff

It is indeed Joseph Fiennes standing with Rob. Fiennes will star in the series. That picture keeps popping up in different media, so the photographer, who is my SIL, is probably happy.

Listen to Peter namedropping..."Yes, Lovey, then we all repaired to the club for some bubbly."

Luv the green haired troll.

Em...have one of those limey-drinks for me, too. Or maybe Psuess will make me one alcohol-free.

Make mine with free alcahol

Theresa, your link was divine in voice, FRIGHTENING in face. I will be haunted by their angelic lyricism and tormented by their freakish looks in my sleep tonight

Reminded me of Hellraiser fer sum reason.

[DingoGirl]

Got something to share....it is ab-sol-utely fanf*king tastik (to steal a phrase...I really like that phrase)

Open Original Shared Link

OMG - that Hellraiser thing was REALLY way too much like a broadway musical - I started feeling kind of.......antsy and homicidal after about - 30 seconds?

and if you think I'm kidding, I'm not!!!!!

Momma duck iz still sittin' on them, but no signs of hatching yet. I think it's been too long. Poor momma--all that work, and might not payoff

and then she'll probably have post-traumatic stress, also.

Listen to Peter namedropping..."Yes, Lovey, then we all repaired to the club for some bubbly."

gahhhhhhh :lol:

PTAUM!!! why didn't yer post show up in me quotes?

Well, I really have enjoyed the Native American show....but haven't seen all of it. Last night wasn't paying attention at all.

Just so good to see you poop in here!

And NEROLI!!!!!!!!!!! Your most magical and wondrous post didn't show up either........

what in hell is going on with me quotes? _{<or maybe it's operator error>}

Well Sills......I got nothin..........house is messy, pets are conked out, I am slovenly, and must now to take out the trash.

but one thing I love - - our Queen Reighchull was reluctant to join Facebook, as you may recall.

And now, she's playing all kinds of mafia wars and sendin' stuff to everybody and posting all kinds of fab photos. :lol:

I just LOVE when we corrupt people. :snort:

and yes, VIRGIN and FREE ALCOHOL mojitos all around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW - I did declare today the official start of mojito season....I went to the store and bought the stuff and.....I never made one.

what in hell?

[Darn210]

I must share the news, friends. We're expecting...ducks!! This crazy momma mallard has planted four little greyish/green eggs in me rhododendrun

This is quite wackl--we live in a hugely populated subdivision whose only source of water is the errant swimming pool (which haven't been open since last Labor Day.)

The poor little dear.

Mu hubby is tres excited--I think he's more excited about the impending duckies then he was when I was preggers with me daughter

I told him this was probably a portent to "get our ducks in a row", but he says it's probably more a sign that the "cheese has fallen off me quwackers".

My Animal Speak book says this:

"The mallard...can be very amiable and display a wide variety of emotions.

It may reflect a need to to find comfort...with those of like mind and spirit."

Ooooh, good stuff, huh?

Momma duck iz still sittin' on them, but no signs of hatching yet. I think it's been too long. Poor momma--all that work, and might not payoff

Ohhhh . . . I got worried and had to go check . . . I ventured into the black hole vortex archives. Looks like it hasn't been quite a month yet.

My sources tell me (Open Original Shared Link . . . because Jess demands it ) that it takes 26 to 30 days for incubation . . . and incubation does not start just because they laid the eggs . . . gawd it's too late at night for this . . . but looks like she has a little more time.

Happy Birfday to yer hubb, Mimms . . . nice rack _{of ribs.}

[flourgirl]

Ugh! Yaaawwwnnn. Mmmmble grrrrmmmmmble innnggg! I already bin up fer a couple of hours, on my day off!!! WIH??? Mmmmmblle!
