Thread Drift

Well I have begun a cacti garden indoors. So far I have 5 plants and I just may need to pick up a few more today. They are so cute and seem like a growing plant that will be difficult even for me to kill. :o Tonight I shall be repotting them.

It is unbelieveably hot and humid here, more like summer than spring. :( So I am staying indoors as much as I can. I do however have a lovely suntan. :cool: and I am finally at the weight I wanted to be, yay me. :D Now I need to learn how not to lose or gain more, but maintain. It is always something. :rolleyes: I am in desperate need of smaller clothing, but the only thing I will spring for is a new speedo. My old one is flashing my neighbours and even they are noticing and commenting-side note, they are a lovely gay couple in their late 40s-they crack me up with their comments. :D

It is good to see so many people posting and bringing life back to TD. :D

Send me some, kelownagirl! It is just the opposite here - much more expensive than beef. I love buffalo (sorry CC - please don't throw any kangaroo jerky at me!). There are plenty of places to buy it, but it's very expensive. :mad:

sorry CC, I have to ask her

KG - where are you getting your buffalo meat that it's cheaper than beef? I haven't seen that yet....!

BMo3 - I love the idea of your cacti garden! Can I see pictures? You can email if you'd rather :) I actually started some plants indoors this year - dahlias. I think they're ready to plant outside now. I can't believe they aren't dead yet! I have the most obnoxiously purple thumb! heh

zen - I have to agree with BikingMom - does anything on those rollers at 7 11 actually deserve the name food?

Well, folks, another day after the RMT appointment to spend at work. I'm reminding me to move slowly right away - not to wait until it hurts! :eek:

Have a super Wednesday everybody

Hugs and butterflies,

Just took this picture outside my breakfast room window (where I am sitting right now). Indigo Bunting....isn't he pretty?

IFJane - great picture! What amazing colour!

Jane- I've only seen an ind.bunting once here in my life- beautiful!!!!! You are so lucky. I heard one sing once- a very pretty dainty song.

Zencentury- I would really wonder how many days those "hot dogs" had been on the rollers at the 7-11.....
Rollin', rollin', rollin',
Though the river's swollen,
Get them doggies rollin'...Rawhide!!! (insert whip crack sound here)

BMO3- I have indoor cactus too! I started growing them because my cats kept messing up and chewing my "regular" houseplants. I had a mental "plant frustration meltdown" a while back and tossed all my mangled indoor plants and got some cactus instead. We could compare ours! :D
Tell us what you got, and pictures please. Mine need some repotting too. Now you've inspired me to give them bigger pots for the Spring.

OK, moving on from buffalo burgers....what's the most unusual meat all of you gals have eaten? I want to know, in a strange twisted way....:eek:

Lisa - I've had rattlesnake, alligator, turtle, squirrel, and raccoon. The first three were fine, the last two were nauseating.

Lisa: I've had bear, venison, reindeer, ants and grasshoppers (those two both covered in chocolate)

I'm not built to eat wild meat!

Myself...not too exotic. I ate frog's legs as a child once. Buffalo & Elk. Ate a deer who committed hari-kari on my car once. Escargot & sea urchin & octopus, etc. Tripe (wonderful when prepared well). Quail, pheasant. Shad eggs, caviar, eel.

I've had all the more common wild meats... moose, elk etc. I tried bear once but didn't like it. I think that was more mental. Alligator, yes, no great shakes. I've eaten live crckets on a dare. The worst part is the guooosh when you bite down.

I'm sure I ate many things I don't want to know about when I was in China, does jelly fish count as meat? I did like yak meat. Loved the taste of the chicken hot pots but did not like finding the chicken head in the bottom of the broth at the end.:eek:

I forgot the frog legs. Sweet and sour frog legs at a Chinese spot in the Loire Valley. So good it hardly counted as exotic.

I've had ostrich jerky. Not my favorite.

Wahine has me beat. Crickets and mealworms have been my 'most exotic' but then there's skurrl, too. :D
