THL, I wanted to share this with you, you might like it.
Yesterday we had kibbeh with the yogurt. My mother made this nut concotion as an aside to put on it that was delicious, I’m sure it can be used for other things.
Melt butter
Add pinenuts and slivered almonds, roast a little
Add crushed garlic and mint
Stir till nuts are golden brown.
Wheee! I’m in a harem! [I can cross that off the old bucket list!] ; )
Thanks Arkady. I’ll be sure to give them a try.
I’ve seen a raccoon in Bay Ridge several times.
The begonias should blossom almost non-stop for years. I don’t think they’re toxic to cats – my cats don’t even look at them & they’re sitting on low shelves while the guys do everything in their power to get at plants that are harmful to them & that are up high & supposedly out of their reach.
I’ve had poor luck w/ african violets too but begonias have done very well.
insert – hmm, ok I will chill out then – I was super surprised
the other issue is that there are a few cats that roam amongst all our backyards, so I don;t want the cats to get into a fight with this raccoon :/
Am sorry about all the job hunting going on – I wish you both speedy success!
Cobble, there’s always room in my harem! Unfortunately, all positions remain unpaid 🙁
Gemini, I have raccoons that come by my kitchen window at night. One night I called the cops reporting a would-be burglar and that occasion it turned out to be raccoons frolicking! Imagine my surprise.
morning everyone
Hope you all had a nice Easter. It’s so quiet today
sooo – last night about 7pm, I’m outside on my deck and and spot a huge Raccoon scaling my fence. So I clap my hands and he runs up one of the trees in the backyard
I grew up on LI where seeing raccoons was pretty common, but was surprised to see one in my backyard and at 7pm
Hope he’s not rabid!
“There will be a meeting of my harem at 2pm sharp to discuss this matter and vote on sanctioning you.”
Can I be in your harem? More importantly, is there any money to be made in this harem business? I can work on my hip & belly wiggle… ; ) I’m sure I can pull together some concept driven marketing materials exploiting the core values of your organization, on time and under budget! When can we start?!
