Yes, 1 carat each LOL. How's your new garden coming along now? I was
interested in your submarine thing, it will be interesting to hear
about your progress with it. I have a new greenhouse just waiting for
my husband to put it up. Poor man has taken an awful fall going down
a steep path to where the new veg plot will be, he stumbled, fell and
hit his forehead on a wooden peg holding, what was a step in place,
said step has since rotted. He had a bleed all the way down past his
nose, both eyes are black. He went to our doctor who referred him to
hospital. Everything is o.k. Thank God, but he has to have another
follow up as his blood pressure was sky high. It's good to talk over
the garden fence, isn't it?

Heavens, Judith - that's *awful*. He's lucky (sort of!) that it wasn't
worse. Hope he's mending well now.

Clever man, you know the history of Mauritius well.

or of the Dodo?

My brother had a long holiday in Mauritius, when he worked in Zambia. Don't
ask!

I used to go there lots, it was one of my favourite ports of call
especially because the port is/was relatively inefficient so we always
got to stay a few days!

It sounds like heaven and I bet the plants are on the same exotic level as
Hawaii. Things we struggle and groan over grow like weeds!

from Judith in France contains these words:

spice, including two I haven't heard of; Daube and Briani, do you know
them?

Judith

I had a quick google and wonder if these might shed some light
on your spices:-

http://www.airseychelles.net/creole/...StJacques.html

http://www.teleservices.mu/info/2421037/briani.html

They could be ready mixed packs, the daube being perhaps
Cinnamon and Nutmeg? The other just a mix for Biryani

Glad to hear you had a good time.

Jennifer

Thanks Jennifer, so I shouldn't use the Daube with meat and maybe use
it with sweet stuff? The cooking is certainly Creole orientated and
also the French that they speak is also of the same dialect, small
wonder I ended up ordering stuff in restaurants and getting something
I wasn't expecting!

Thanks Ophelia. Torn ligaments are very, very painful, poor chap,

He actually looks quite bad Sacha, our daughters are concerned, they
know that for him to go to a doctor and to hospital, it has to be
serious, he is one stoic man. I am looking after him, he says I am
fussing, but he would do the same for me.

No, I Googled her after all the talk about her here and found out lots
about her and what she does. Read Google yourself and find out if I'm
lying. I'm just making the group aware.

Jeff

Leave her be, in this group she is a welcome contributor. The past is
dead and not important, we all have to learn to move on, that's called
progress. Many of us have disagreements, a difference of opinion,
sometimes an opinion that is wrong, I certainly have been wrong, many
times. Lets move on and why don't you post and tell us about your
garden, life really is too short for trying to cause disruption on
groups. I'm Judith, I have a garden in France. I am quite ignorant
compared to some here and maybe I can learn from you as I have from
others. p.s. know anything about keeping hens?
