  1. Don't be too worried it's a short stake.
  2. You're gonna nuke the lads ... you sound remarkably like some other wannabe emperor.
  3. Following the fine example set by my WQ Val I have moved the plaid lads into secure containment ... er, I mean quarantine as a measure against depredation ... er, I mean possible infection. In an additional step they have all been issued new kilts. Their previous garments have been donated to a charity for God-Emperors with taller nephews.
  4. Wikileaks 🤭
  5. That means the boy has outgrown his uncle. He doesn't want to confirm it and he can't deny it ... the boy is taller.
  6. Nope, nope, not a chance and nope ...
  7. I bet if he was really hot and called you "Baby" you wouldn't mind but if he called you old ...
  8. Sorry but now that you're older you need to understand that you can't have everything you want ... the plaid lads are MINE! I am an anarchist and atheist ... Happy Birthday Texy!
  9. Hmm, if I had to choose a favorite Headstall story I'm not certain I could. Morningstar was such an intriguing departure and yet classic Headstall. I think though that the one that started it all Cards on the Table is the one I enjoyed most. Perhaps because it was the first and we all, Gary and his readers, were learning to know one another. Some very special friendships resulted from that story.
  10. It reached 84/29° today with bright sunshine and a breeze. That's a bit above normal for this time of year.
  11. I saw it on an American college campus during my freshman year. No I didn't see the same version. I will say the version I saw didn't depict the cavalry in a good light.
  12. That looks good to me.
  13. Yes but mum really doesn't want a piece ... she made the same face you do when offered seafood.
  14. He was soooooo cool.
  15. Definitely. In college I had a thing for Candace Bergen based on her role in the 1970 movie Soldier Blue costarring Peter Strauss.
  16. Mum says to give her slice to Albert.
  17. That sounds tasty. I approve.
  18. Do you have raisins? Sultanas are golden raisins, combined with the regular raisins they make up 68% of the mix. I have a similar recipe that only uses raisins and is quite tasty.
  19. I understand the curfew but since your druggist is not within the allowed travel distance exceptions should be made. Also, the fact you combined two acceptable reasons for being out into one trip rather than multiple journeys is also to your credit.
  20. Hmmmm, I didn't think you could do it with this one but maybe redemption is possible.
  21. I'm well aware of your stance on things piscine. I just didn't mention it as I didn't want to encourage your behavior.
  22. Concord grapes are considered "slip skin" as it's easy to separate the flesh from the skins and they have large seeds that are easy to remove. You might want some sugar to help things jell. In addition consider pressing some of the grapes for juice. You can "can" the juice in glass quart jars like you might tomato juice for use throughout the year.
  23. Or more likely begin to indulge ...
  24. Concord grapes were very common in the northeast US. The grapes are round and a deep blue purple nearly black and have a rich flavor. They are typically used for jams/jelly, juice, pie and occasionally kosher wine. When I was a kid Welch's heavily advertised that they used concord grapes for their products. The lighter variety were possibly Catawba grapes. Catawba are common in the Finger Lake region and are used for jams and juice. There is also a red variety used to make New York Rosé wine.
  25. I was being kind when I said I do not care for rhubarb. My true response is more along the lines of Val's opinion of fungi as a foodstuff.
