How do you serve or have eaten ox tail?
Melissa in Australia replied to saraha's topic in The Chat Board
I love ox tail soup. . Served with the meat still on the bone, one piece of bone per serving of soup. -
Tackling the blueberry garden. It has waist high grass over the whole lot , And wild blackberries the blueberries are hopefully there are still blueberries plants under everything. Poor DH couldn't do everything while I have been ill. So didn't get to the blueberries. I can't do much. Not only do I still not have much energy, but I had a hernia repair surgery just over a week ago. But I hit on an idea. Dh pushes the wheelbarrow to the blueberry patch for me and I cut the grass off at soil level with secateurs so no actual pulling which I can't do cause of surgery) And fill the wheelburrow. Dh takes the full wheelburrow to the compost and empties it when he has time. 1 wheelburrow a day. So far I have discovered 9 plants still alive and 3 dead. Slow and steady and we will get there. I have hit on the perfect way to get the twins to help in removing the tomato plants summer veggies leftovers etc. to the compost. I stand there and tell them how strong they are, how amazing, look at their muscles ripple as they pull out the plants and shift them to the compost and at the finish they get a pickle for each wheelburrow load. I had got chocolate as the reward, but they requested a pickle instead.

Quilters - help me choose a pattern
Melissa in Australia replied to athena1277's topic in The Chat Board
What about a bear paw pattern. It is very easy, can use seemingly non matching fabric, fairly quick as the squares are big and the results are stunning -

Calling Dr Hive - who has experienced extravasation?
Melissa in Australia replied to ShepCarlin's topic in The Chat Board
I have had the needle go right through the vein in the wrist while having a cannula put in . It hurt when they injected the flush. As in I was just about airborne . Pain stopped as soon as it was all taken out. Bruised for a couple of weeks. -
Maybe tow away the caravan before he comes back

Post menopause, hemorrhagic cyst, possible hysterectomy
Melissa in Australia replied to popmom's topic in The Chat Board
Hugs during this stressful time Sending positive thoughts -
Media here is saying that only the bishop was actually stabbed. So it isn't a mass stabbing as such. Though still awful. All the rest cut were wrestling the knife away from the teen The lynch mob that the police struggled to keep out of the church is very worrying.

Clean, “horror-lite” short stories?
