It's not British fish & chips, unless it is served in a newspaper. If you are truly blessed, you can get part of a headline printed backwards on your fish. :wink: :lol: :lol:

HDTV hype is starting to "censored" me off. Two years ago, our kids bought us a top of the line Sony DVD player that does not have the HD feature. One year ago we bought ourselves a 34 inch flat screen TV that has the HD feature. Shaw, our cable company offers some HD programming for an...

Golden threads of saffron Each purple crocus flower produces three stigmas, which are hand-picked from the blossom, dried, and permitted to ferment slightly to produce saffron. It is estimated that it takes some 14,000 stigmas to produce only one ounce of saffron threads. The labor-intensive...

The flower is the common purple crocus. We have them all over our front lawn but I don't think I will be making any saffron. I've had saffron rice that has a subtle hint of yellow and a bit of a bouquet but that's about it I'm sure if I google saffron recipes I'll get a pile of hits.

For the last couple of years, different people have been warning that if the Americans pulled out of Iraq, civil war would ensue and would result in violence and killing, heretofor unheard of. It seems there are some who think that civil war has already started. Sectarian violence is...

We just watched "Walk the Line". The movie was excellent. I was never that much of a Johnny Cash fan but Joaquin Phoenix as .... Johnny Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter were absolutely haunting. They were awesome.

You just have to give them a call. I've never used them so I can't help you much here. You will still save money but I don't know the numbers.

Hi Haggis We've made our own wine and beer for years. For the last twenty years or so we've had an extra bathrom with it's own thermostat that let us control the temperature very well. To answer you question about making wine outside, I wouldn't reccomend it. Even in the summer the day and...

Fortunately, Jan loves this sandwich as much as I do. I usually have to make two sandwiches. But not just before bed. I try to have them for lunch with a cup of hot tomato soup.

When Walla Walla sweet onions are in season, try a sandwich of sliced Walla Walla onion, mayo, sharp cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper on fresh rye bread.

We watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith on the weekend and the movie was disappointing. The problem was, that all the action was saved for the last 25 percent of the movie. The first three quarterswere boring unless you're one of these people who can just watch Brad Pitt and Angelina doing nothing. I...
