Celebrating the departure of a family member to the far shores of St Helena this weekend, so may not be here much in body, but rest assured, I will be in spririts! (Mother in law usually has a goodly supply of gin!)

Ah, thanks for the meaning of "handfasting" Liz...it would be a good term for Squid coupling as well! Maybe better as hand-over-hand-over-handfasting...

Ah MAG you have embraced the way of The Gin Fairy.....   :0) Hurrah!

I vote we keep the squid and not cook him. I hate calimari anyhoo and the neck rubs really are very good.....

Now if y'all will excuse me, I have some serious napping to catch up on......

Monday is my day off; Monday is the last day of the weekend for me.

Tanqueray gin and tonic, w/ fresh lime and lots of ice. That't the ticket on a really hot day.

Song circle w/ harmonies, anyone? How about "Foggy Foggy Banks?"

There was a thread about handfasting a year or so ago when Micca and CatsPHiddle did it.... but basically it's a public announcement that you and your partner are going to live together as a 'married' couple without the fuss of all that church mularkey, much like 'jumping the broomstick'.

I remember Rolling Rock... I think it's what got me into drinking real ale. And yes.. the best birthday present I ever bought myself was a dishwasher. Boy has THAT ever been value for money!

Good for you for quitting the band, for making that decision... just don't go filling the gap immediately or you could end up worse off! Take a few months to kick back, consolidate your position and make your own music for yourself.

Now hand over those beers and get me another pool boy... there ain't no such thing as Monday morning here!

Ya know, way back at the beginning of this thread, I was whining about my mental bandleader.

I have now quit the band, and am happy as a clam! Have had private decompressions with others in the band (who are also all quitting) with good beer, and feeling out from under in a major way.

Congrats to Lady Penelope; love is a wonderful thing. dishwashers are, too.

Here is enough Rolling Rock (a U.S. beer I used to drink in college) to go around.

Lady Penelope...dare I ask the meaning of "handfasting"?

Ya know, that "squid soup" everyone's been frolicking about in, ought to be about ready to start cooking up about now...I always add a bit of wine to my mine...might help make the squid enjoy the, er, process a bit more...

Having noticed the "Dishwasher safe" notice on the side of the box Parker immediately retracted his initial comment of "Not more bloody glasses for me to wash...."

They really are very nice glasses and we'll have to get you round to drink out of them soon!

Whilst it's Parker and I's first wedding anniversary, this year was our 10th year handfasting and 17 years we've been together in total! Gluttons fer punishment..... :)

sounds good Rapaire - but it doesn't sound like a bourbon sauce; even using my imagination.

Shouldn't a bourbon sauce have BOURBON? even a little? or was b*u*t*t*e*r a typo for b*o*u*r*b*o*n?

I have a GREAT recipe for a bourbon sauce for bread pudding. Unfortunately, it's at home.

Mash the raspberries, add honey, spread on warm bread that's buttered with good butter. Or...well, use your imagination.

Now that sounds good!

I took a bread pudding to a potluck one time and it seemed so "ordinary" (though I love it just the way it is) that I looked around and found a recipe for melba sauce. To die for over the top of bread pudding!

Liz, marinate the raspberries in tequila, ginger and lime, then put on a very hot grill just long enough to caramelize a bit and heat through. yummmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!! (easier to do on a grill pan then an actual grill)

It's not so much the size that matters, I just find the bigger ones have more stamina and can carry bigger jugs of margheuritas.

The final count was 9 Painted Lady butterflies.. they look like a sort of washed out Red Admiral but are a bit bigger. They migrate to the UK in summer and they were attracted to my white buddliea. It was a most enjoyable 30+ minutes I spent watching them... just what summer is all about.

So hand over a Slushie and grease me up another pool boy.
