You're drinking cat fur, Liz? I would pre-fur not to myself.

Kimmelweck is a Polish hard roll with coarse salt on top usually served with copious amounts of pot roasted beef and horseradish. YUM! Standard pub food in Buffalo. A staple for students at SUNY Buffalo in the 60s until we found out it was horse meat - explains why it was so cheap.

Now that I can finally get back on here, I can answer SRS's vital question. We really need the card only when we check into a resort, when we still got clothes on. If I have it with me after that, it's generally in my billfold in a light tote bag. :)

ARRAGGGGGGGHHHH

My brain is still on Danish time... it's nearly 5.00am and I've been awake for an hour. Someone pour me an English beer and help me get back on track!

How about joining me in a pint of Old Peculier Liz? It's lunchtime here, but what the heck?

Five days have gone by and the aurochs are still not done? Sigh! I am off to MickeyD's for a Big Mac and Fries. Can I take orders from anyone?

Yuk! No thanks Sins! There seems to be plenty of alcohol around even if the food is a bit slow in coming. We do have some smoked salmon sandwiches and ice cream. I think I'd rather survive on them....and the alcohol

Love Lynne

SINSULL, the Aurochs were done days ago. Did you miss out? Very tasty too!

Think I'll pass on the Maccas. Actually I heard mention of Moa steaks. I might have a Moa steak sandwich to go with my beer. Then if I'm still hungry after the first one, I'll have some Moa.

Here you go Sins...sorry you missed out on the auroch but these dodo drumsticks are pretty good...

None left????? DoDo drum sticks? I prefer white meat. HMMM - that duck is starting to look good. A liitle cracked corn, a net, a roasting pan - I think we're all set.

Don't have a duck call. Anyone know how to get him down from the ceiling?

try putting out a bowl of custard.

Sins - have you tried some of the cold sliced passenger pigeon? It's technically white meat, as most of the meat is from the breasts.

But there should be some dodo breast around somewhere, unless the squid has been eating more then his share.

It's worse than that - he has splattered squid slime and lime Jell-O all over it. I'll pass on the auroch. But Passenger Pigeon sounds good. Thanks, Leo. That duck looks mean...

Ah that's better... been offline for a couple of days but we're back now; sort of.

Pass me the Moa, it's big enough for 6 people to have the same leg, and the breast meat would keep even Spaw happy for a week!

I had a happy find yesterday - turning out an old filing cabinet and trying to consolidate the piles of accumulated paper (for this read 'move from one file to another'), I found a pile of songs I thought I'd lost forever after transferring them to my songbook which was then stolen from our car (along with everthing else we had in the car, which, as we were on our way to spend a weekend with a friend, was quite considerable)! Sometimes it's good to be a squirrel!

So I'm celebrating finding the orignial words to some songs I wrote at least 18 years ago, for once the beer is on me!

(Note, I said beer singular. I've got a 4 pint tankard and a packet of drinking straws - knock yourselves out!)

It's like finding a bunch of old friends at your door. Good to revisit after all this time, but I can't remember all the tunes now!

There ya go Liz. There's always some Moa.

I'll have a straw thanks. I could do with a beer right now (slurp, slurp - aaaahh). Wonder what everyone else is drinking ;-)

And how are we paying for this giant bird?

It's too early for a beer right now, but a long, cool glass of water would be good.

The beer IS on you, Liz. jenny's straw has a leak. You're a mess.

that would be ONE of your FOUR pint tankards?

yep. There's one four pinter, one two pinter, one two pinter glass and one whole bottle wineglass.

Then there's the bucket under the stairs.

Oh dear - I didn't know that was for your beer. You may want to rinse that bucket a bit before refilling.

Don't worry, the bucket is for afterwards... the beer's been . . .
"recycled" then.

So.... has anyone seen the duck recently?

And who is that in the smoking parlour?

Ooops....Sorry.... didn't realise the duck wasn't on the menu.... it tastes nice smoked though.....

Am currently revelling in the taste of beer brewed with ginger (apparently a belgian style beer brewed in Poland...!) Grand stuff...
