Norwegian Blue? Was it only pretending to be broken? Or had it joined the choir invisible?

Lovely plumage packaging

can-o-peas, where's the sauseech

I have a nice video clip, from our wedding. we had French food & a Reggie band. but one of my Italian Uncles, is on tape, actually saying "where's the sauseech" we treasure it. another Uncle, the one actually born in Italy & spoke little English, asked "where's the beer" (that much he could say). & our band went hungry, except for one last tray of hot veggies. I'm afraid we (aka MIL) failed our guests & gig workers. in other news, I had a NY mailman, while I was visiting my parents in NY, when he found out I had to drive 200 miles back to MA, in a snow storm, w/ my Subaru Forester, w/ winter tires, actually use the phrase "fuggedaboutit". rare moments that crack me up

That's a bit more poncy than my sausage muffin this evening

if I could have bought 1 link I would have. Wifey & Daughter don't care for it. now I have to deal w/ the leftovers. but they enjoyed the grilled veggies with rice & some leftover grilled chicken from the other day. I prefer to cook the sausage, by roasting it in the oven on a bed of peppers, onions, garlic & a sprinkle of olive oil, served on proper sub rolls. not quite as good as outside Fenway baseball park, but a few times a year, it'll do

Currently I'm sat outside Sid's Café in Holmfirth having a coffee and a bun.

The café owner's a lady. And she's not called Sid.

(and yes, I know it's from Last of the Summer Wine )

Another misnomer is the bike I'm currently using has wheels with the word "SPEED" on them in big letters

My father, though a man of many nationalities, mostly favored the Irish heritage, as did most of his family. My sister married into a large Italian American family, and I married into a Nordic and German family. My father, and now I, the character among them. Our wedding was a rollercoaster, I have often thought of basing a work of short fiction on it.

Too hot for the oven in the summer here, so I grill out a great deal.
