Hi to all

Post by Ethelwynn »

Thanks for the warm greetings, all. And don't worry about me. I'm just glad to have found another home after the old one dumped us off like three day old haggis. :hug:

As for salmon, forget that. I'll eat the salmon and swing the fancy chairs if I need to. Having six Irish brothers has taught me tact.

Ah, a woman after my own heart. I've never understood all the waste of good salmon that goes on around here. And don't worry, Holby's got a hard head.

Welcome Ethelwynn. Hope this works out for you.... and all of us.
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.... John Rogers

And hello back to you, SF. Glad to see you doing something that doesn't involve work.

It's not "good salmon", you know. It's . . . the sort that you left in the trunk of your car on a hot day and forgot about. :(

Yes, the good salmon goes for dinner, with dill sauce or perhaps just a squeeze of lemon.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

Or a shot of lime and a dash of good chili powder. Anyone else getting hungry?

And may the hair on your toes never fall out, either!

Hi QT...Good to see you here! :wave:
There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

It's an important and popular fact, that trolls do not in fact quack. The sound they emit is more of a moof than a growl, but in any case a quack it most assuredly is not.

Moofing Trolls, certainly. But Quacking Trolls most certainly do quack.

Not at all. Trolls taste nothing like chicken.
More akin to kine, but bordering on water buffalo sauteed in hemp.

Just a question, Holbytla, but are you going to be the one to tell a Troll that he does not quack if he wants to quack? I'll pay to see this. I'm more concerned that he doesn't quack after about 10 pm on school nights.

The main problem I've found with cooking Troll is that you can't use the meat during daylight. It goes beyond tough. This means it's only usable for a late-night dinner or very early breakfast. Worse luck!
