sausages heavy? no - heaqvy is a 2 kilo steak, blood rare, with about another kilo of sauteed mushrooms, gravy, mashed 'taters, and a couple slices of pie for dessert!

Does that mean you are up for a tramp through the woods, or a game of volleyball, after downing a few sausage? or maybe, a contra line?

(for me, a snooze over here in this lovely hammock.)

no- garfield is actually a solid flesh colour - the striping is an optical illusion because of the way his hair grows.

no, I think that's a newt swimming in it. Maybe an Axolotl; in fact, given the fluid it is swimming in, probably an Axolotl of the Alcohol Axolotl variety (Ambystoma Deleriumtremons)

You can't ask a lot of an axolotl. Unless he's tiny, which means he's my newt!

I am horribly late I know, but I just got back from baking (and by that I mean it in the global warming warning kind of way) at a 4 day (mostly) dulcimer festival, in which we tent camped, and I could really use copious quantities of anything iced & alcoholic (tiny umbrella optional). I stopped on my way and picked up some premium vanilla ice cream, hand-picked, homegrown strawberries and a crate of containers of whipped cream. What you do with the individual components is totally up to you...

My advice is to throw the jam on the ice cream and the lettuce to the squid.

Do squid like lettuce or are you suggesting as a garnish?

Cephalopods are not struck on lettuce cos it is like a kick in the tentacles to a carnivorous jet propelled beast.
It makes them ill, and there's not a lot you can do on sick squid.

glaze the squid with the apricot jam and then wrap with the lettuce; serve chilled with a good white wine. (proper way to eat apricot glazed squid lettuce rolls is to toss the roll at someone and drink the wine. repeat.)

Then why bother the squid to begin with? Just leave him in the aquarium and throw the lettuce and apricot goo at people and drink your wine.

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.
