Pesky Pachyderms ...

If we had tortillas, I could do egg tacos. Tomorrow afternoon I'll just get the ingredients out and wait for the Spirit to move me. We have diced tomatoes, too, and seashell noodles :-).

She always has "attention-grabbers" on her front page. I actually spend more time there than I want anyone to know...I mean, it's one thing to look, but I think I'm guilty of "gawking."

hopefullly they didn't interrupt someone's massage or body scrub, that would be truly unfortunate!

Sound like there was no "happy ending" in this story.

Thanks for that--another bookmark.

I love reading from early FReepers bragging about being "old timers". It seems like a lifetime, but it has only been 10 years since the internet went big and FR came along.

Very interesting and Definitely worth a bookmark!

Worth a BTTT!

Kinda starting to sound like Ready, Steady, Cook! Kind of a combination game show and cooking program. Contestants would show up with some combination of cheap ingredients, and then they had 20 minutes to come up with a meal, with the help of a professional chef. They had the use of a kitchen stocked with basic ingredients like salt and spices, but otherwise, they used what they brought. Interesting the combinations they came up with!

I used to watch it when I was overseas...and also taped it for the younger folks back home. I think I was the only one taping stuff for the homefront instead of the other way around. ;-)

Toss the grits out in the yard. When some pigeons happen by to eat the grits, eat the pigeons.

Actually, with those ingredients, I'd go with a rice casserole.

Any applesauce?

[Tax-chick]

I remember an American version of that show, from when we had cable with The Food Network. It was fun!

Kids can live on cereal, but my husband expects something like actual food.

[Tax-chick]

Vlad ate the applesauce.

[rottndog]

Well, you could feed the pigeons rice, and when they pop just throw 'em in the oven and Wallah--stuffed pigeon!

[Tax-chick]

EEEEW.

We also have canned pumpkin, two sweet potatoes, a cauliflower, and part of a cabbage. If this was "Iron Chef," I could produce something amazing!

[Monkey Face]

I've never seen a pigeon eat rice. I heard they would 'spode, but they avoid that stuff like they know something.

[Tax-chick]

I think the exploding pigeon story is an urban legend.

Time for me to retire. Wednesday is lurking about waiting for us to go to bed so she can lie on us!

[rottndog]

I think Alka-Seltzer has the same effect...

[Monkey Face]

OK...spelling is goin' south, so it's time for me to get parallel to the deck and watch the dreams.

'Night, kiddies!

[Monkey Face]

It does for seagulls...just ask my squid daughter! Seagulls are dumb enough to eat the alka-fizzies, but I've put rice out for pigeons with no luck. Maybe I should break up some alka-fizzies??? WHOA! What an idea!

[Monkey Face]

Ah! Wednesday can't resist a warm body, eh? Good for her! How long has it been? A month?

[Monkey Face]

'Night!

[rottndog]

Goodnight, 'Face!
