Time for me to tell a funny story...not so funny at the time, but I laugh about it often...living on the farm could be filled with exciting times with farm animals...Pigs ...and we had quite a few of them. We had one sow, probably weighed in at 100lbs. Maybe less, I was a kid....anyway I went out to the barn, with mom to feed the pigs....I made the mistake of taking a Clark Bar (kind of candy bar with me). Mom was slopping the hogs (feeding them) I stood there watching, and munching on my weekly treat. We had this big old mean sow (as my mother said...that she was mean). Any way, this sow charged me, and took away my Candy Bar. The funny part, she knocked me down, in a BIG pile of cow manure . I went under. It took my Mom several bath's to take the stink away. I never went into the barn, to feed the pigs again. I watched behind a screen door. Moral to the story...don't have kids and pigs at the same time on the farm! :D
When we first got the farm I wanted to have some pigs - after all I saw Arnold on Green Acres and he was nice. My DW explained just how mean they are. Now, I hear stories from the farmers of how they have to pour whiskey in the sow's ears so she won't kill her new pigliets....

All I knew, she took my weekly treat. I cried about that, not being under a big pile of cow poop. It was still the happiest time of my life in childhood. :D

Green acres still cracks me up. Believe it or not, I can still relate to Uncle Joe. No Haney in our area.

I like eggplant, not my favorite but I like it. Have you tried roasting slices with olive oil on them. Yummy and not slimy!
I've never had eggplant, except on a cruise, as I wanted to give it another chance. It was the same slimy stuff I remembered as a kid. I should try your recipe. I never give up on my veggies...my go to snack.. I just had some carrots, and picante sauce. Good for me, and good for allergies. ;)

Guess what time it is? Take a few minutes to read and prepare dinner. I wish I could think of something new, healthy and easy. Tonight's dinner wild rice, with red, green, and yellow peppers, ginger and paprika for spice, and dry roasted peanuts. This is about what I eat every night. Husband is opting for turkey, noodles and dressing and mashed potatoes. I can only observe from the other side of the table. At least it's not another nutri- grain meal. So much card board so little time. See you tomorrow.:D

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
It is the warmest, most beautiful day of the year so far ... and I am considering a 20 minute nap.

Shameful, I know, but I have a bit of a headache - par for the course after getting my hair coloured, highlighted and cut.

On the plus side, I no longer look like a skunk.
