And the eggs. A cousin makes beautiful eggs, she's really talented.<br /><br />Kokum is such an awesome name. Sadly you can't force names. I was suppose to call my mom's father Grandpa, but at 18 months or whatever, I spent the 45 minute drive sitting in the back seat saying "Papa" over and over and over. It stuck.<br /><br />I should probably hang a wedding picture before I put up Star Wars. I'd be okay with them in the basement, but between the LOTR posters, book cases and figurines, there isn't much space for more wall hangings. I'm going to have to ask what he has in mind, they may be a next house thing and go into storage for a bit.Seraphinalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706215125457113080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945168277255989385.post-28835101590817232562012-03-16T09:44:10.891-04:002012-03-16T09:44:10.891-04:00I saw some of the strangest pictures hanging in fu...I saw some of the strangest pictures hanging in furnace rooms when looking at houses to buy. It was abundently clear when the tweens had access to it.<br /><br />I have had those potatoes. Apparently my MIL as a tween was asked to go start the potatoes for dinner while visiting the farm. She boiled them in heavy cream where I think her aunt had the plan of boil in water, drain and finish cooking them in cream. I hear it was heavenly.<br /><br />I should try that, I've got a third bruise on my left hand now. Again, I don't know what I did to get it. I take a multi and usually I get a good boost from citrus (pink grapefruit makes me happy) but I haven't been buying as much citrus fruits the past two weeks.Seraphinalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706215125457113080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945168277255989385.post-62317499524958388432012-03-15T23:53:51.571-04:002012-03-15T23:53:51.571-04:00My mom's sister became a born-again Ukrainian ...My mom's sister became a born-again Ukrainian after her marriage to one, so I got a bit of a bird's-eye-view growing up. Mostly I remember being jealous of my cousins' Ukrainian Dance costumes, which were WAY cooler than the ballet costumes I got. We always ate perogies, though, as that was one of the three meals my father cooked when it was his turn on the weekends (the others being hamburgers and pancakes). Just boring store-bought perogies, though. Plum-stuffed perogies sound WONDERFUL.<br /><br />I tried like heck to get the kids to call my husband's grandmother "Kokum" (Cree for grandmother), but when Tyo was about five said grandmother declared that it was just easier if they called her Nanny, like everybody else does (including us grand-children-in-law).<br /><br />I must confess we would probably put the star-wars pictures up in our room. Or possibly the kids' rooms, if they begged. But then, I may or may not have just scored an original Star Wars (1977) bed-sheet. My judgment in such matters is suspect...Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945168277255989385.post-30938269865829323272012-03-15T20:33:28.699-04:002012-03-15T20:33:28.699-04:00I suggest the framed Star Wars pictures would look...I suggest the framed Star Wars pictures would look spectacular in the garage. Or the furnace room.<br /><br />When I lived in Saskatchewan one of the most talked about recipes was potatoes cooked in heavy cream with dill. I never tried it, I didn't need one more menu item to resist. 8-)<br /><br />Have you tried increasing your vitamin C intake, I find it helps tremendously with bruising. I am not sure it would make a difference with your ASA consumption, but it is fairly cheap.ElleChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656569539140359204noreply@blogger.com
