The Studs 'n Spurs Bar & Grill

Well, the truth goes like this...

It was a lovely snow-covered December Sunday morning when I went to visit "he who shall not be named" who remained in his house locked away like a june bug in aunt Tilley's root cellar when I suggested that we go see, "Brokeback Mountain" for the first time. At that suggestion, he acted like I poked him with a red-hot poker.

"He who shall not be named" tore around the house, kickin and screaming and putting up a such a huge fuss that I thought he would throw a hairball but, with a lot of persistance we were soon out the door and on our way to the theatre.

One hour later, after I paid for the tickets and his large pop and popcorn, "He who shall not be named" was crying silent tears and that, folks, was the start of a beautiful thang....

awww..."He who shall not be named" how sweet....why was he so opposed to seeing a lil ol cowboy movie??

David's right - Only learned this myself recently - All these years when I thought I was eatin turnip, was eatin rutabega!

Turnips are the size a apples (little ones), whereas rutabegas are large like a really large cantaloop - basically a poor man's turnip (they're also a little less sweet than the turnips)

Ahhh, Thank you Roland and David!  I'd never heard of them before.  By the way, cantaloops are called rockmelons here.

Rutabaga Also Called "Swede"

Thank you Bryan!!!  Yes we have swedes here too!  Loathe them with a passion.  Hate turnips too.

I thought I'd offer up the special du jour early again yaday. Actually it was mentioned yesterday in exchanges withe Bryan, since it's his recipe (ehich he posted, and then deleted  )

Chicken Breast Cubes

served with quarters of mushrooms in a creamy white sauce, on a bed a rice, and sweet peas on the side

It's actually quite a treat!

[Bryan]

It's sure sweet of you to call me, "a treat!"

[Bryan]

BTW, does this place have an all-day breakfast?

[Sheriff Roland]

It's sure sweet of you to call me, "a treat!"

The flavour of the meal!!! not the person who provided the recipe!!!, silly

BTW, does this place have an all-day breakfast?

Yup - ya want some bacon & eggs and/or pancakes?

Or just yer usual bottomless cuppa coffee?

[Bryan]

I should let you know that I've been told that I have a very tasty looking face! But, heavens, bacon and eggs are for brunch while there is nothin better than a big ole strong cup of joe for breakfast! yum yum
