That looks totally radishing!

I made rhubarb soup once in a fit of gourmet impetuosity. It was not a success.

Or was it rhubarb fool?

[M.T.]

Rhubarb and ginger jam is pretty good.

Cheers

Oh yes it is. The combination of rhubarb with savoury was the crucial error - foolish one might say

[Jim]

Stewed rhubarb and rice pudding is a culinary delight I remember from my childhood

[Jim]

Just to mention that my four Fantasy books are at the moment at knock down prices on Amazon. Don't ask me why, nothing to do with me.

is only £2.99

Some of the others are cheaper. I've given details at https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Raise my author thread from the depths just to tell you that there is a yacht charter available on Tsarina

[Katie]

A fine looking vessel, Jim. But I'll pass, thanks. Don't like the water.

[Jim]

Not a big fan of water either I'm afraid

By awesome stars and winds of fate
that howl across the roiling deep
I like to drink my cognac straight
I find it helps me get to sleep

[Will]

I shall take that advice onboard.

Clearly, drinking cognac curved has been my downfall

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

and the curly merlot doesn't help

[Will]

Merlot always helps.

In your downfall, yes.

[Jim]

Merlot and my part in his downfall :-)

Is that your next book?

[Jim]

Well with the Spike overtones it should be Will's

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Are yu saying his merlot is spiked? Or Spiked?

[Jim]

Or milliganed :-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Mulliganed?

[Kath]

Milligan... Spike. Keep up, dear! ;)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I know. That was a golf joke.

[Kath]

Whoops - with sport, I'm the one who doesn't keep up!

[Patti (baconater)]

Kath wrote: "Milligan... Spike. Keep up, dear! ;)"

Bit of an own goal there, Kath. ;)

[Kath]

That's as near as I get to sport - own goals! ;)

[Patti (baconater)]

I'm impressed that I know the term own goal.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

What is a goal?

[Kath]

I don't. You said it so I thought I'd try to keep up. ;)

[Jim]

It's all a load of balls however you look at it ;-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

And some are odd shaped balls.

[Patti (baconater)]

A goal is a big butterfly net.

I've seen them.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

What, big butterflies?

Mind you, Tsarina snail jockey kits (in petite, extra svelte and sub medium only) are available

[Kath]

You would not attempt to intrigue my chickens wearing anything less than full body armour. Those beaks are sharp!

Chicken.

[Jim]

I thought I'd spam this thread by mentioning http://katherinej1012.wordpress.com/2...

[Patti (baconater)]

I'll share some pics I took today on your Facebook tomorrow, Jim.

Remind me to tell you how it made me feel really old. And had nothing to do with the 1000 step climb.

[M.T.]

Nice one Jim.

[Katy]

Thanks for sharing my review, Jim (:

Ah, now I know where you are. Argos.

So how did it make you feel old?

[Patti (baconater)]

See my comment on Facebook. :)

[Patti (baconater)]

We drove through Argos a few days ago. Just so I could say I've been there.

It wasn't anything special.

[Jim]

You obviously didn't have the right guide book

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh that's awesome Jim! Thanks!

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh, you know speaking of cypress trees, they're really something quite magical. All the other trees and bushes on a hillside can be bent almost perpendicular from the wind but there's the good old cypress trees standing straight and tall.

They'd make really good masts for sailing ships, I reckon.
