As kids, we would cook snails and small clams on the beach. In a rusty tin can we found on the beach. We ate the snails with a hook we made out of wire from burn-out tiers.
I am surprised we didn't get poisoned or tetanus.

hello, cranberry, Are you French by any chance?

When we were growing up, (in the UK, we heard French people ate snails. I have no idea how they did this, we just assumed they cooked them and the shells came off.

My last name is Burgoyne. my ancestors are from Normandy (maybe kicked out?), but my family considers itself English. We have a lot of red hair in my family.

As kids, we did not have the internet. we did weird stuff.


there is also a family rumour that my grand father was found in a coal dump and the Burgoyne family took him in. but we do not know. I have a DNA kit to do from a cousin. I will find out.

Welcome fellow Norman. Building the Tower of London was pretty good idea to keep our savage kings in line.

I looked it up LOL
 
Well... BOB... BOB.... I started my puzzle.... I have the border pieces separated from the rest and tomorrow I will sort the other pieces according to colour. I'm sorry I did not wait until you got back because I KNOW that you are so EXCITED to start your Mon Balcon puzzle. You will have lots of catching up to do when you return home... and in the meantime .... I should be a good 3-4 puzzles ahead of you. HAHAHAHAHA.

Bob... I am IMPRESSED with your written usage of the FRENCH chuckle.

STILL........ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ok.... I'm done now.

OOPS.... NOPE..... WAIT..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. OK... done now.
 
Good morning my beautiful forum family.
HAPPY SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I am feeling so very BLESSED this morning. Going to be a quiet week-end.... I need to start prepping my meal for the Fire Department on Monday.... I like being organized so that the "day of"... I have minimal stress. Since I am making stew... it's basically a mostly hands off meal. The oven does all the work. The biggest thing is simply cutting up a lot of vegetables. EASY PEASY. I still have not decided what I am making for dessert. That will be my homework for today. :D

My puzzle is getting sorted. I have the sky pieces done and that is about 1/3 of the puzzle. I forgot that this brand of puzzle ( Eurographics ) has all the same shaped pieces. However it will be relatively easy to put together because the picture is well separated in colour.

So... a nice sweater weather/ fireplace/ keep warm type of week-end... with some nice peppermint tea.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week-end.
 
Question, I am trying to finds something that keeps Mr. Patches feet warm on walks.
Soon our temps will drop to 20-30F and why I can walk in it fine. I worry for patches little toes.
He a Maltapoo 3 years old 22lbs . He has a winter jacket for him to wear. But really concerned about his feet.
We would be walking in rocks, dirt and road. So those Crochet ones wouldnt last a trip.
I need to get out walking allot more. But weather hear moves like waves of the oceans.

Here was yesterday. I woke up it was 31F by 2pm it was 78F And today its 50 in the morning so our walk was fine.

I have been trying Turmeric and Ginseng Tea lately. I have always used Tumeric but not in Tea.
It seems to be a real nice balance.




Hey hope everyone has a great weekend.

May Christ Fill Your Day.
