The Kitchen Table

Where is Bull Dinkie?

18 years ago

I hate to ask about one person because I know there are several that are missing, but I was wondering if she is doing okay or going through a hard time or what. I haven't seen her post in a while.

does anyone have any of the old Chritmas card lists handy to see if she is on them? If so, maybe we can find her that way. I have mine at home, but I'm at work.

Anyone make Johnny Bull Steamed pudding
Q

"Pudding" in British terminology is very different from what most Americans know as pudding :-) Being born in to a British family but in the US, I had some culture shock as a kid growing up. My mom was a great cook and Sunday dinner often included a roast beef and the obligatory Yorkshire pudding. As a child I couldn't imagine any sort of 'pudding' that was cooked in beef drippings to be at all the slightest bit edible - yuck!! Now I know what a delicacy this treat is - a savory pudding much like popovers - and I regret all those years when I wouldn't touch the stuff!! Now I go out of my way to occasionally cook a rib roast just so I can make and enjoy the Yorkshire pudding side dish!!

Space has been created in my garden! Dinky Donna or Picasso?

It's a MadMadMadMad world, Mad, at least over here in my housing development. If I would put a cage around something, the co-op manager would come running across the street from his office, his flab swinging back and forth, and scream at me that "the insurance people think that this is pointy and dangerous!" He has declared "pointy and dangerous" the following: the plastic Adirondack garden fencing put around my original garden under the plum tree that died; a wrought iron trellis my clematis was growing on (so I made a really outrageous one of swim noodles and put the clematis on that, until he made noise about that, too); pinwheels stuck into your garden (we had a memo about pinwheels in gardens, but no worries, I hate pinwheels in gardens); and plant pots NOT sunk into the ground (not pointy, but dangerous!). How I have managed to avoid his wrath about the half-dozen large ceramic pots scattered within the confines of my garden, I don't know. They are not sunk into the ground. He must be saving that for a slow day. He also had the "landscape workers" rip out a neighbor's Rose of Sharon without any warning or opportunity to move it, because "it was too close to the building" and had a perfectly beautiful pine tree cut down because---wait for it---it was "too close to the building". The only thing around here that's truly "pointy and dangerous" is this guy's HEAD. Haha, I took some spare bricks and made a 2-brick-high garden border wall at the corner of the extended area. Let the "landscape workers" and maintenance men watch their step. Since the maintenance guys repaired our shaky porch banister by encasing the lower end in a 12" square block of cement on the sidewalk that anyone could easily trip over, I think they have nothing to say about this.

Is Dinky Donna a late pipper?
Q

I'm in the UK and Dinky Donna is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum for showing up. Always very reliable and grows well here. Same goes for STGN, it shows up every season no problem. Mine are all in pots if that makes any difference. I also have the other two and they are also pretty consistent. High Society is one of the earlier arrivals each year. I hate to say it but you may have a problem unless you have had very cold temperatures up till now. I would start digging down and checking for signs of life. If there is any rot you may be able to deal with it before you loose the whole plant. Let me know what transpires. Good luck. Dave

On bulldinkie's My Page, she lists Farm Life as her favorite forum, so I went there and searched her name. She'd been active on that forum and it seems she may have some friends in that forum that live in her area. Maybe someone could ask about her over there..?? I'm don't know what the etiquette is about searching for someone and crossing forums.

I miss her, too, and hope she is well.

I don't think it would hurt anything to go over to Farm Life and tell them we have been worried about her...
And would like to know if she is okay.
If they don't want to give out any infomation to people they don't know...maybe they could pass the message to her.

Anyone here that would like to do it?

I tried to do some detective work today. I wish I knew which town she lived in. I kind of know where it is, but there are a lot of towns in that area. I made a couple of calls to a company that might know something, but I got a recording both times. I left a message the second time. I don't know if I'll hear back from them or not.
