Dinner is served


We have been enjoying the "Skinny Girl" Margarita as a pre-dinner cocktail.

And does a skinny girl always need?

A nice sausage.

  3. Looks like someone prefers putting sausage in buns and the other likes to mix them up with the "veggies"

    The bun lover also quaffs faster. I'm guessing that's you?

  4. You can tell a lot about a person from how they relish their sausage.

  5. Yes I like to put my sausage between a nice pair of buns.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that!

  6. That is a citronella candle that helps repel mosquitos.

    One of the reasons we haven't been out in the yard is the wife hates getting bitten by mosquitos. We used to have tons of citronella candles...in buckets....with liguid in a metal conatiner with a wick....regular candles...all kinds of stuff.

    I planted some natural sources of citronella and am waiting on some citronella scented geranium which I am going to put all over the garden.

    The way the candle works is you pull the wick throught the slot and it burns down and eventually goes out so you don't waste it. It's pretty cool.

  7. Does the glass come with? It seems like the anti-mosquito effect would be more effective if the citronella vapor spread out evenly instead of getting shunted upwards through the glass chimney.

  8. What mosquitoes really, really hate is smoke, so keep up the cigar action.

  9. Yes it comes with the glass but the idea is to permeate the area with the order. So of what happens when Garage is eating a road kill sandwich.

  10. The cigars work best but that is an after dinner thing. And it doesn't work too well when we are having coffee first thing in the morning.

  11. If only farting worked I could have it covered.

  12. Mosquitoes are also attracted to CO2 so the more you talk the more they'll hit on you.

  13. You're forever talking about what the gardener and his lady friend do on the porch at the cottage. I wonder if they ever have to curtail things because of mosquitoes.

  14. I bet they do. Cause you one of them could fly in there and be buzzing around and stuff. How annoying would that be.

    Hey that inspires a "Tales of Amy's Garden" bit. Good going.

  17. I'm glad you guys are taking opportunities to rest. You work like dogs.

    That's a big effin' deal.

    I plan to quit my job and live off the suckers like you.

  18. In Brooklyn
    You walk down the hot street
    And when you get to the end of the hot street
    There's another hot street to walk down.
    Little do you know that hidden out of sight
    Are backyards: hundreds and hundreds of
    Hidden sunken sanctuaries of shade
    Where hundreds of bare arms are
    Raising the beautiful glass of guinea red aloft
    And dreamily looking through the ruby globe
    At the sun receiving walls of stucco and brick and clapboard
    That rise above their blissfully sunken havens of shade
    And knowing at that moment that
    All Is Good.

  19. You're right, bare arms can't look. So much for inspiration. ;^(
