He obviously was lacking in some brain power. MaryL |

I will try to remember this one when the local berries are in season. Those big berries available here at this time of year resemble strawberries in shape only. They lake the texture and flavour of fresh local berries. I have to ask.... Is the picture what it is supposed to look like. The recipe calls for 6 cups of berries and saws it makes 8 servings. That works out to about 3/4 cup of berries per serving. It calls for 1/3 of a cup of chocolate chips. In the picture there appears to be only a spoonful of chocolate chips, yet there seems to be as much chocolate chips as there is strawberries in that bowl. > I'll make pie crust cookies to go with it.

![]() We have been speaking of the importance of the date to pi, but missed an even bigger holiday. Albania celebrates the lunar Spring Day (Albanian: Dita e Verës or Dita e Luleve) on 14 March, and from 2004 it has been a national holiday. It is an old pagan practice, particularly popular in the city of Elbasan, central Albania. Damn, let's plan on meeting in Albania next year. |

Noah's Ark and ancient rock people!!?? I have several movies that are my 'go to' for sleep. "Pulp Fiction" and the "Kill Bill' movies. I've tried to watch PF about 4 times before I realised it was like an anesthetic to me. So then I used it about another 20 odd times when I was finding it hard to go to sleep :-) Samesame for the Kill Bill movies. I must wrire Tarantino a letter and thank him for the help ;-) > >>> I don't combine chicken and cheese too often, but that sounds like >>> a good combination. >> >> >> One of the very few pastry items around here that doesn't have any >> pepper in it.

I think I called it quits when the rock people started helping with the heavy lifting building the ark. I tried thinking of it as a comedy but I just didn't get it.

Some shows do that to me, even some that I really like. Can't think of any movies that have that effect but now that they've put recliners in the movie theaters, all bets are off. > I must wrire Tarantino a letter and thank him for the help ;-) He'd be thrilled, I'm sure. >>> One of the very few pastry items around here that doesn't have any >>> pepper in it.

Happy first to the granddaughter, that's nice. This winter wasn't horrible where I live, so I'm hoping the growing season arrives on time this year, not like last year. > > Autumn/Fall here looks like it's going to be pretty cool, so I'm going to > start pruning of the fruit trees and vines soon and start prepping the > garlic beds for planting. There's always something. Good luck with that, I'll be starting the seedlings this week. nancy |

When you get a nice one, with nice flaky pastry and a filling that's not all gluggy or bland.... you remember where you got it from and go back ;-) This was the first time we'd been to this particular cafe that makes their own pies etc, so we'll certainly be going back again. I'll try to remember to take a pic of the pie next time. > >> Tried looking for a pic of the pie from the cafe we go to, but they >> don't have one .... so they are the next best thing :-) >> >> >> I also make my own sausage rolls as most commercial s'rolls have >> pepper in them. > > You don't like pepper, I take it. Unfortunately, it's not that I don't like it (I used to have chilli and pepper on most things, and loved all spicy food), it's just my stomachs/body's metabolism/chemical makeup has changed and I can't have it . Same with anything spicy. Instantaneous burning of the mouth, tongue and lips, and if I'm silly enough to swallow it, the pain is bad enough to put me in hospital. Even small amounts of ginger cause me grief!! I still love making my curries though. I just can't do the taste test thing on them while I'm making. So all my curries are now made to my partners taste :-) Everyone still loves them, so she's doing a good job as my official taster:-) > >> http://s199.photobucket.com/user/Pet...ausage%20rolls > > Nice. Not the same but it reminded me I'm running out of weather > to make stromboli. Over here they would be called a calzone :-) Pizza dough and filling. Mmmmm, I haven't made calzones in quite some time, I've just been making pizzas. Might have to knock up a couple of garlic prawn calzones/stromboli's next time I make some dough. http://s199.photobucket.com/user/Pet...y/Pizza%20and% 20calzones?sort=2&page=1 You should try sausage rolls sometime, with tomato sauce (ketchup) at a 'gathering', they're always a HUGE hit. http://www.taste.com.au/search-recip...+rolls&x=0&y=0 > > There's always something. Good luck with that, I'll be starting the > seedlings this week. > You're not kidding there's always something!! I've got to harvest the wild rocket soonish (it grows on our property like a weed!!) before the cold really sets in and use it all to make my rocket pesto, some of the neighbours want me to cull a couple of the turkey's wandering around the place for a Christmas in July party, some other people in the village want me to teach them how to 'sex' their chickens and process their roosters, I'm also running rabbit processing classes, roasting and blending spices for curry mixes (to sell at the local markets) for the coming winter, I've got to get my cold smoker up and running to do garlic, salt, cheese and salmon.... and then I've got to keep on top of the firewood issue and keep my 5 wood 'stations' stocked on a rotational basis from the trees I felled, cut and split on our property. Ahhhh retirement bliss ;-) Peter |

It probably has a cult following it was so ridiculous. I wonder what the actors thought when they saw how it turned out with the cgi. nancy |

A calzone resembles a folded pizza more than anything. A stromboli is rolled and otherwise doesn't resemble any calzone I've had. > http://s199.photobucket.com/user/Pet...y/Pizza%20and% > 20calzones?sort=2&page=1 Yes, those look like calzone. Not that I eat them anymore, then tend to be melted cheese bombs and it's not a good thing for me. >> There's always something.

(laugh) On a walk I passed some guy cutting down some tree in his front yard and I said It's always something.
