WOW

I saw that Samiya, here's a bit from WRAL:

"Investigators said there was no forced entry into the resident and that nothing was stolen. The firearm believed to be the weapon used in the shooting was also recovered, said authorities.


"Ms. Vincent is cooperating with authorities at this time, and we have interviewed Mr. Bowling and got some information that we needed from him," Jenkins said.


Family members said Mark Bowling was in Florida on a fishing trip when his wife's body was found. He arrived at the Rocky Mount Sheriff's Department Friday afternoon and was questioned by investigators."



Perhaps this story will get the "ditzy sisters" in the MY case to realize they need to re-think their assumptions. Another husband out of town and having an affair....hmmmm

Raisin is a 17-2 thoroughbred mare - bay, looks like a big raisin, but has the best mind and heart of any horse I have ever known, is extremely athletic in the dressage ring, and she totally loves me.

Charlie is a 16-3 thoroughbred mare - black with white star - pain in the butt but very clever and great fun - she could care less if I live or die as long as she is fed. She is named after a boy I grew up with who could fold his ear up, suck his thumb and the ear would stay folded up - he was also a bug boy with me but he died after being thrown from a horse on the track.

Both of them are mine and mine alone, like Floh there are some things I do not share, and I did raise them from yearlings.

I do have two boys, neither named Charlie or Raisin, and a wonderful wife of 17 years who always makes me .

Nicknames always intrigue me, and I thought Charlie was a horse's name that someone was 'raisin'. LOL

Just a note. I am not a taxi, but I am a mom that drives around a lot...or drives you crazy. Take your pick.

I've had the cable news on all morning and nada. NADA about MY's murder. I might have missed something when I switched off the Hillary vs. Obama political (yawn) talk...but I really don't think this case is getting the coverage it deserves.

**sigh**

I just saw the news....

The woman in rocky Mount that was murdered...

Husband's girlfriend confessed to killing the wife while husband was out of town.

Wonder if he had told her that he was NOT divorcing his wife for HER?

:laugh: BWAHAHAAAAAAA hahahaaaa! OK, OK ----- " Girl, you got me: You really got me going ... "

:laugh: KAY... JUST as I was about to leave my puter to pack for my flight tomorrow and finish my proposal ... YOU come in and mess up my finally found good-hair-day ...

OK: go purchase for 20 m/balls: 500g minced lamb - double up for every 20 you want...

Fresh fresh mint, fresh rosemary - and fold in a good heaped tablespoon of each;

2 diced-up fat snaps-off-the-garlic-bulb.

Preferred coarse sea salt to taste

Tablespoon pre-roasted dried onions (freshly fried onions usually have too much moisture/grease - sometimes makes m/balls crumble or split, lol....)

1 well beaten egg

Mix the whole lot together - and fry gently on a DOT of olive oil until they're nicely browned off. The lamb offers extra fat, so you really need a dot of o/oil.

-------------------

These are fab dipped in the sticky-sweet-chilli dip - and the fresh cori in the dip gives wonderful bite.


WHENEVER I do these, I always purchase 2 kgs mince - but only use 2 eggs - but otherwise exact same as above for 500 gram portions and freeze the remaining cooked portion into freezer bags of 20 each - they last for months in d/freeze and can be brought out and defrosted in a tiddlywink of a second.

OKAYYYYY? Lol - you DO make me :laugh:, hon ...

Good morning everyone. Polk, those meatballs
sound delicious to me......course I love lamb.

Tee hee, Floh!!! I can only go by metric: otherwise I fail, have no idea what fahrenheit means, other than 30 is *darn* cold, lol.

What's every one else's Xmas menu/plans??? Would love to know!

I was sitting with my hubby watching one of those "Stupid things people do" shows and there on the tv we sat and watched an idiot do a runner from police IN............

BREVARD..........IN
A white SUV!.......AND
the guy ended up in a small canal......AND
On arrest we were told that he had outstanding warrants.......FOR

Traffic Offences!

Needless to say...after I picked my jaw up off the floor I was howling with laughter and my eyes are still wet from laughing.

Wonder what his name was, lol.

I'll be waving at you from across the North Sea! :woohoo:

 

[Bee Charmer]

Good morning everyone. Take care Polk, have a
wonderful time and hurry home to us soon.

Floh, the North Sea?.......Brrrrrrrrr!!!

 

[Taximom]

Who was it that explained there is a difference between mince and mincemeat pies? I'll have to check that out on a recipe link.

If it was you, PSA, I guess I'll have to wait till you get back! :blowkiss:

By the way, I love Nigella Lawson (sp) and Gordon Ramsey, but didn't know any of the other chefs mentioned a few comments ago. Cool that you know them in real life.

Hi PSA and all! You are more than right when you say that 30 farenheit is darn cold... unfortunate for us, that can be a high temp here in the winter! LOL!

Christmas menus here don't vary too much at my house, prime rib on Christmas Eve that turns into "french dips" for the evening meal on Christmas Day, as we've pigged out at the relatives home all day! In my house full of boyz, it's much easier to prepare something that they will actually eat. When I get too fancy they turn their noses up in disgust! LOL!

How many of you out there have eaten mincemeat pie? That was a "thing" at my house as a kid. They made such a production over the pie and none of us touched it because I think the only "pie" that we thought should have meat in it was Sheppard's Pie. And don't get me started on the candied fruits... my dad used to use them nasty little things in recipes, I think, so we wouldn't eat it! Ah... such sweet memories! LOL!
