Oh, I'm going to adopt *that* expression! Especially for those with 'man
breasts'!

snarky remarks prunned and whacked thoroughly

Not typical of this group, I'm happy to say. I leave you with the thought
that to the boring all things are uninteresting.

great thoughts Sacha! Who says middle aged, post menopausal women can't

Makes me think of that line in Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop
Café. "older, richer, more insurance". ;-) (Just to get us back to
horticulture, of course!)

one of my favorite books AND movies......LOVE Fannie Flagg. She has a new
book, by the way. And another one, is (despite it being a bit weepy) is
Steel Magnolia's and Driving Miss Daisy. That that doesn't kill us only
serves to make us stronger. I figured out the twist early in Fried Green
Tomato's (and then bought the book) because I knew how people did things in
the South. And yes, I DO make bodacious fried green tomato's. there is an
ART to making them properly.

I don't think fried green tomatoes are a big 'thing' in UK but maybe they
should be, given how many of our tomatoes don't ripen in our
not-great-summers. But Driving Miss Daisy and Steel Magnolias are among my
all time favourite films, along with Cinema Paradiso and Il Postino and
Baghdad Café.

To do that would require a good cornmeal and some all purpose flour....and
they can't be TOO green.

Haven't seen Cinema Paradiso I believe, and Il Postino, but have seen
Baghdad Cafe', that was interesting. one of my off the wall movies I adore
is Saving Grace..........it cracks me up. I need to laugh g there are too
many movies I really like now to list. it's one of the things we indulge
in, or maybe it's distraction from things that should concern me. but I
appreciate good acting and a good plot and nice details.

ouch, the kitten decided to attack my braid and she dug into my shoulder and
upper left arm, gotta go put some alcohol and neosporin on it before it trys
to get cat scratch fever.

E-mail me sometime and clue me in on what you garden and where. I'm always
facinated. off to disinfect meself!

But us mad englishmen have no idea what 'cornmeal' is!

Or 'all purpose flour' we have plain flour, and self raising flour.

There's a translation in most of the cookery books we get but don't
need. Anyhow, whichever way you slice them (or cook or pickle or
chutney the damn' things), green tomatoes are rubbish. "Hey, I've
just found this wonderful recipe for green plums!" -- no, me joko;
Archangel Gabriel, more likely, no?
