You and Miche are about the nicest women I've met south of the equator!
And Miche's daughter is certainly the most precocious sprout I've ever
met!

Aw hey. *teh blush*

Sprout turns seven in April.

I have no idea how that happened!

Y'know, you could be right there <g>

Nancy Young has a good recipe for meatballs and grape jelly.

If I ever get to visit the US, I'm going to have to try these famous
meatballs!

LOL! The first time I saw a recipe using Kiwi's I wondered who would
want to eat a bird raw! And they don't look very edible, either. <g>

LOL! Mind you, since all the different types of kiwis (that's the bird)
are threatened species, or in decline, eating them would probably be
frowned on :-)

In Australia we tend to use the word "kiwifruit" to describe the fruit.
Kiwi means either the bird or a New Zealander. So I do find it funny when
I see recipe posts etc on here which refer to "kiwis". Get some funny
visual imagery.As a child (so sometime in the 70s) I remember my mum
calling kiwifruit Chinese gooseberries. Not sure when kiwifruit became
the name we knew them by. At that stage they weren't something we had
very often (I only have vague memories of them, and it may have only been
the one occasion) - they used to be quite expensive.

I remember Mum calling them Chinese gooseberries during my early
childhood, which ws in the 70s, so I think the name changed in the mid
to late 70s. They were certainly kiwifruit by the time I was a teenager
in the 80s (the hair! the music! the tragedy!).

There's still some music I'd listen to, but I shudder when I see the
clothes - shoulder pads, anyone?! For most of the 80s, everytime I came
out of a hairdressers after a haircut, I headed straight for the closest
ladies to make my hair a little smaller <g>.

Quite true: Until someone explained that "merkin" was slang for "American,"
the only definition I knew for that word was "pubic wig."

Speaking of funny surnames, the definition of "tup" is "to copulate with a
ewe."

What's that say about the ancestry of Earl S. Tupper, inventor of
Tupperware?

one of the side benefits to the group (to me, anyway) is that you
learn a lot of u.k. and antipodean slang. (I couldn't tell from the

checking for a 'merkin' entry used to be my test for an 'unabridged'
dictionary.

Dunno, he didn't stay long. Just long enough to say goodbye to Jack
Curry. I got the impression that he was pretty busy.
