Well, if he overcooked it, it wouldn't have been nice. Had he peeled it before serving it?

Kimby, I think the fact that you were willing to give that show a try marks you as a good sport. I watched the last episode (there are only three) of Maryland last night. This was not a great drama, but it was a very good showcase for some actors. Even though the show was in effect Suranne Jones's baby -- she co-created it with a screenwriter -- for me, the actor who really shone the brightest was Eve Best. The one jarring note was Stockard Channing. Her (elective) plastic surgeries have made her face monstrous and her presence onscreen more of a distraction than anything else. The good news for those of you who share my taste for meaty, thought-provoking entertainment is that Bridgerton's season three begins tonight. www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/film-tv/a60803263/bridgerton-season-3-part-2-news/

The lady who helped found and who was for many years the librarian of the Oaxaca Lending Library, Ruth Marsch Gonzalez, was used as a subject by Alice Munro. When Ruth told me this, she couldn't remember the name of the story & I've been trying to find out ever since.
But what is really important about that little anecdote is how a Canadian writer came to Mexico on vacation, met someone, and turned that into literature.

Out of this world interesting and your photos are fabulous.
Can't wait to see inside the museum. Is the cute little chicken coop, and those other larger buildings (& oast houses?) part of the original buildings on the property?
I saw a giant monkey puzzle tree in one of the gardens I visited in England, but it was dwarfed by the amazing giant you show.
Scrolling down the gorgeous flower pictures -- that honey garlic!, that perfect wisteria portrait! -- I was stopped in my tracks by that stand of incredible blue and yellow irises next to the greenhouse. I never saw a variety like that before. I swear, they seem like shapeshifters who could just take off across the lawn.
And your closeup of the violet & white one just shimmers -- perfection!

chanoine in this case but I donβt even know the definition in French despite reading it several times dictionnaire.lerobert.com/definition/chanoineEnglish definition of chanoine is canon: a clergyman belonging to the chapter or the staff of a cathedral or collegiate church Merriam-WebsterMore elaborate description in French ~ dictionnaire.lerobert.com/definition/chanoineBeautiful city & pictures, Whatagain. (why are you using your old name here?) That square in front of the church is surprising, something you'd expect to find as a park in a small town. So right that the tiles are exquisite! And in the photo below them, I see the pole that attacked you.

It's reassuring to hear about these milder cases, presumably because those were people who'd been vaccinated.
Not everyone is so lucky, as Lugg learned.
People have always been less careful than they should be about exposing others during flu season. Let's hope that the horrors of this pandemic will prompt everyone to be more careful in future.

What talent & skill -- that is a treat to see.
I believe that when one considers what is beyond the garden and incorporates the view it's called "borrowed landscape".
Your brother-in-law has certainly mastered the concept! How wonderful to have fellow gardeners in the family.

As a reward for living through another day of death heat in a fairly positive mood, I am having a very big, somewhat bastardized G&T. It started with a little water & some agave syrup in a tall glass, well mixed. Then came ice cubes and a generous measure of Kirkland gin (Costo's brand -- nothing but the best for this girl). Added the juice of one lime and a bottle of Franklin & Sons light tonic water. After stirring & tasting, in went a couple more cubes & the juice of half a lime. It's quite good and best of all, it's cold.
