Weekend Trivia: Sunday
Comments (20)Four stars for Annette, Bobbie, and Nancy. Yes, Frank Hayes is the only dead man to win a horse race! Sweet Kiss was never ridden in a race again, perhaps due to the nickname given: Sweet Kiss of Death. Poor thing. Anyway, Hayes was 35 years old and had never ridden a race before ( and obviously never did again-ha). He had a heart attack and died partway through the race, but was still in the saddle when the 20:1 horse crossed the finish.

Comments (16)Well, four stars for Carolb and three for everyone else. Indeed, gypsy is the nickname for the Rompa. They were given that name because people thought they looked as though they were Egyptian even though they came to Europe from India in the 9th century. Here are the two best options for stars. First one is okay, but the second, well, hope everyone has a good sense of humor and gets the gypsy connection. Have a marvelous week. We got no snow over the weekend or this morning. I am hopeful, but not optimistic about our chances for tonight. ð© Cynthia...See MoreWeekend Trivia: Sunday
Comments (20)Okay, four stars for all of you who are inside enjoying the benefit of central heating. The Romans came up with the hypocaust which was a hollow space or series of channels (or tunnels as Bobbie said) which used air heated by furnaces under floors and behind walls to heat all the rooms of a house. Sort of like radiant heat as TM said. Nice job everyone! Have a marvelous week. Stay warm and away from the northeast! Way too much snow, although I am a teensy bit jealous.

Comments (32)Hurray for the Santa and stars (They are cool, TM.) Didn't even think of rhubarb and I grow and love eating raw rhubarb. I've had artichokes on the brain lately. Need to get a bottle of artichokes to add to my salads. My sister-in-law gets tiny artichokes in the CA Bay area. They are tender and delicious and one eats the whole thing. All we get are large ones. Hmm, they must hand pollinate the pear blossom before putting it in the bottle or there would be an empty bottle. Or maybe the bottle top is left open enough for pollinators to enter. One year I put paper bags over tiny apples to prevent insect damage. Worked well but not too practical for a whole tree. I had fun with the punctuation marks. Thought parenthesis and brackets might be lumped together as one. Did you notice I tried to use all the punctuation marks in my third posting? Thanks for the questions and stars, Cynthia. I have other commitments for Wednesday but my heart will be with you at The Hobbit and hope to see it later. Oooh, Annette, that Asparagus Lettuce sounds interesting. Now I wonder if that is in the canned lettuce the stores carry. Will try to remember to check next time I am at the store. I will be interested to hear how your crop produces and how it tastes. Ho, Ho, Ho, see you next week....See Moreaftermidnight Zone7b B.C. Canada
