NE - North East
I am also curious as to were you are based, East Coast or West Coast, so as to sort out time zones
Northern Germany.
We only have one time zone here, Central European Time (CET) is used as standard time.
Is this Frikadellen dish popular where you live? Oh goodness - now I am getting hungry as I haven't eaten anything yet today

Radishes, no. |

My random thought today is that I am still able to make a really good pumpkin pie from scratch - think I will continue to practice making the pastry part
The filling turned out very nice - almost like a custard (I used three eggs and milk)

Didn't really know where to post this, so I thought it best go here! 
Funny story for you, Frank! osnafrank
I think I've told you, but I became buddies with this guy Jan from my Vietnam class. He's German, and I didn't find this out until later, but he's actually a Lieutenant in the German Army (he's on a paid study leave)! He's solely young as well, he's like my age. Anyway, today was our final class and he was waving to someone through the class window. The lecturer makes a joke about him having something to say, he explains that his girlfriend is outside, waiting for him. There's like thirty minutes to go. Anyway, she must not see him all that often, I remember Jan saying, a bit sadly, that they're used to not seeing each other for a while (he's at the barracks back in Germany quite a bit). So, we get out, and I'm talking to a bunch of the guys, and Jan introduces his girlfriend and she's really nice to me (when we say hello). Then Jan says, as we're walking away before we depart, 'man she's really pissed.' She was seriously mad; I mean, I don't blame her, she's travelled to another country to see him, and now she's being told to wait while he's in a lecture. Anyway, I made a joke about how it was an honour to help an LT in the German Army, then jokingly salute. She smiles at this, but then she turns back to Jan and is pissed again. Oh man ...

I wonder what he thinks about flying fish,
and those creepy fish that can crawl on land.
Florida have any of those wireman ?

Didn't know they were one of the invasive species there though.
Dang, poor Florida has a lot of those.💔
I know the Everglades have had problems with
Australian Tea Trees being an horticulturally invasive species too.💔
'Melaleuka' I think... (I bet scoup knows 🙂  )
many great uses for tea tree oil.
Thanks Taco Man. |

Tea tree oil is used as a antiseptic, but believe it or not, the problem here is Pine trees.

Twelve Days Of Christmas
Song by Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters
LyricsVideosListen
On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree
On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Five gold rings (five golden rings)
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings (five golden rings)
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings (five golden rings)
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings (five golden rings)
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings (five golden rings)
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings (five golden rings)
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
I sent eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings (five golden rings)
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings (five golden rings)
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
And a partridge in a pear tree

Not sure I understanding correctly, but it appears they are substituting "things" in place of the birds in the song.

There is some lady on you tube who is making a different potato recipe for each of the 12 days. How do people have so much "extra" time on their hands? |
