Seems to be that way with people I know, anyway. If they love to cook, they don’t eat all that much.
I don’t eat all that much, but I appreciate good cooking and love to taste a good cook’s works.
If I had to eat alone, I probably wouldn’t bother. Thank goodness for friends (who like my cooking)!
I hope it makes them sick...:)
When I cook I never feel hungry - it is such a waste of effort.
It would be a lot easier for me to keep my weight if I ate alone.
My grandfather used to say some people live to eat and some eat to live. If it were not for others who love to cook, he and I would solely eat to live.
If I ever run out of pictures to post I can alway show one of “adding salt” or “peeling a potato” — I have hundreds now so be warned.
I like the one where you partially cut then break the potato. My daughter showed me how to do that.
When they are fried they are delicious as the oil or fat is sucked inside through the broken fibres.
Are you telling us that your new book actually shows pictures of ‘adding salt’? LOL
You would not believe the pictures it shows — six to a page, step by step, even putting an egg in boiling water. As well as how to cut almost everything.
This is really for Dummies - it makes me feel quite the expert.
James was on the beach, and could not understand why Bob had attracted all the girls, while he had no luck.
So he asked Rich "why do you get all the girls and I get nothing?"
Bob replied "take a potato and tuck it in your swimming trunks. It drives the women wild!"
So James stuffed a potato in his suit and paraded up and down the beach. Several hours later, he still had no woman.
James went to see Bob again and said "I've tried the potato and it doesn't work!"
Bob looked at James and asked, "Have you tried putting the potato in the front?"
I am sure I will find a page showing how to teach your grandmother to suck eggs.
That’s not nice. Both my grandmothers dies before I was born.
That is good — now I know what to do next summer. Don´t let catpuppy know or he will go overboard and use something else.
But the saying implies trying to teach the old and wise ones childish pursuits.
I have heard that in different ways, and every time, it still makes me laugh out loud!
“Monsieur, may I Zugest..........Zat you put zee po-tay-toes in zee frount?” ROTF!!
Didn´t everyone blow birds eggs as a kid?
We rescued them, not kill them.
Oooooooooooooooooooo, we didn´t learn to do that until much much later.
I you were a country girl I am sure you knew boys who went bird nesting to collect the eggs of different species - but maybe not in America as you don´t seem to have that many that next in bushes and small trees.
But in the 1930´s all us country boys made egg collections. and traded for them.
