Good morning all.... Coyotes were rather yippy last night...pretty close to the house, managed to wake everyone up! OFW - I still have all of the Halloween costumes I made for my children. My daughter was always some variation on a princess, including the "beautiful witch" costume. It was beautiful, but expensive to make. My son was an astronaut, pirate, pilgrim, dearth Vader and Harry Potter.... I have them all carefully packed away for the grandchildren I'll never have! Went blueberry picking yesterday, bumper crop this year, so we will be going back out this evening. Got 1 and 1/2 ice cream pails full. There is nothing better than wild blueberry jam. And I'm hoping I have enough for a pie too. Looks to be hot and sunny here today, have a great day everybody!

Time to pick blueberries!!!!

Lol someone will need to let me know what a troll is

In Scott's case a troll is what we in the U.P. refer to when we are talking about someone who lives below the Mackinac bridge (lower Peninsula)

Good Morning Everybody A troll refers to those people unlucky enough be be born and or live under the big 'M' Scott

Nice pic....

We celebrate various heritage by doing certain rituals throughout the year too. We eat lutefisk and lefsa( potato tortilla) during Christmas season, and I have my grandma's old mandolin for making sauerkraut. There is a huge Irish population here and especially in Butte where the copper mines are, and St Patrick's Day is a drunken feast day where the beer is dyed green. I hear rots that there are more Irish people here in the states than in Ireland.

Love lefsa

Their words, not mine. I don't celebrate Saint Patrick's day, or any of the other holidays so I couldn't care less what you celebrate lol. Really most holidays are just an excuse to get drunk and eat food are they not? Christmas for example; how many people actually celebrate it as the birth of Christ?

I do

More so in America yes, but here not so much. We celebrate winter solstice instead in my family

You celebrate the shortest day of the year.....

anybody have any new Ameraucauna's?

Now that there is funny

You know, I actually would like to know the deal about Guy Fawks Day. There is a recipe in my cookbook called a Guy Fawks Day cake, aka a parkin. It's a yummy cake, but why celebrate Guy Fawks?

So is the Island considered upper or lower?

SMH!!!

lsky, maybe you should wait until Bantambird starts the thread specifically for that?


do most of your coffee drinkers prefer dark, medium, or light roast?

 

[Bantambird]

Nah nah, you can pm if you want. I know the story, but don't understand why there is a holiday about this. Weirdest British holiday ever? Yeah, pm.
