Word For The Day, Monday, 5/1/06
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
ingrate; noun
n : a person who shows no gratitude [syn: thankless wretch, ungrateful person]
Etymology: [From Middle English ingrat, ungrateful, from Old French, from Latin ingrtus : in-, not; see in-1 + grtus, pleasing, thankful; see gwer-2 in Indo-European Roots.]
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But along with a few other items I bought a couple of plants - some tiny orange tomatoes, a cilantro plant (who's gagging on that???) and a Cinnamon basil - anyone ever seen that? It smells incredible!
that would be ME....HURLING
Yeah that's what I thought. I would have to have bought a Mayo plant to get SG.... but I'm thinking Gabz is also a cilantro gaggerist
no, gabz loves that crap and grows it too. it should be banned IMO.
You're bashing CILANTRO??? I love that stuff along with the seeds it comes from...coriander!
cilantro truly makes me gag, i cannot abide the stuff. if it is on something or in a taco salad, i cannot stomach it. it makes me hurl.
Thank you Miss Laura - the Pittsburgian has no sense of taste.
the PittsBURGHER has plenty of taste, miss tiny fork....
And I'll use my tiny fork to eat cilantro!
THAT is just plain ABERRANT!
Well, that is my middle name Whyisa Aberrant TexasGirlinPA
You're right.........I've got over 100 seedlings going right now!!!!!!! And plan and starting that many more once I get those in the ground. No such thing as too little cilantro........
BTW, I have twice that much parsley started.........
Ha - my "garden" consists of two tomato plants and the cilantro and the cin. basil....... I"m not much for farmin'
well i just hope the weather holds for you this summer bc all that work can be for naught as we both know, if you get supersaturated or drought.
I've got 50 basil plants started - I'll buy the more exoctic ones for my own use.
XS - I truly appreciate what you are saying. Drought I can handle...........an over abundance of rain is another story.
I shopped, doesn't look like anyone in the back hills of NY even know what is going on. Sure didn't stop them from getting out and about.
but your's is the plight of the rest of our food growers as well, weather IS an occupational hazard. hope that the weather cooperates witcha!
ya got a handful of furriners up there at best, mostly bosnians or pakistanis who are no doubt legal and not feeling any particular solidarity with the agitators, even if they did know about it.
I hope the weather cooperates as well, but I do know that I have to live with what the Good Lord gives me.
The first year that I did a decent sized garden we had rain nearly every day and it drowned. Last year it didn't matter that we had drought because I was unable to even get out there, let alone do anything.
