Bridgewater Food Festival

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (4861) • United Kingdom 23 Aug

So today we are off to Bridgwater Food Festival. We went last year and it was very good. Bridgewater is only a half hour drive from the caravan. It is a nice little place, with some shops and a lovely walk along the river side....

Max Crisp I’ve never been there. Is it just a bridge over water? Not very imaginative name if it is. As long as it’s not a bridge over troubled water, you should be ok. I’m at the age now where I’m trying not to buy things that will outlast me. I’d probably give the...

LindaOH @LindaOHio (199649) • United States 23 Aug

Absolutely nothing going on this weekend. I have a couple of little projects I can work on. I haven't started reading "11/22/63" yet. I'm looking forward to starting that. Remember I reviewed "Fail Safe"? That's the movie...

Max Crisp I’ve not watched “Fail Safe” nor read your review. It sounds like you are recommending it, so I’ll check it out. I’ve not watched anything really good in a long time, so I hope to report back satisfied. I ate out yesterday and had the works: 3 course meal...

Good morning myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (124532) • United States 19 Aug

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 71 degrees F and cloudy here at the Jersey Shore. It is not expected to get any warmer or sunnier today. Ugh. I slept until like 9am today. Not sure why but I'm not...

Max Crisp Hey, did you leave yourself at your ex’s? You’ve not posted in four days! What’s going on? I haven’t either, but it’s not unusual for me. I hope everything is ok.

LindaOH @LindaOHio (199649) • United States 22 Aug

A pineapple is a tropical plant with edible fruit and is indigenous to South America. It grows as a small shrub. In the wild, the pineapples are pollinated mostly by hummingbirds...at night some are pollinated by...

Max Crisp I love pineapple, it’s one of my favourite fruits. Probably because it’s very sweet. I rarely buy a whole pineapple as it’s such a faff to cut up. Tinned for me!

Music Obituaries: July 2025

Four Walls @FourWalls (78382) • United States 16 Aug

What a rough month. We have them in every walk of life: one month there are a dozen former baseball players who pass away, the next it’s actors, the next it’s writers. July 2025 was a brutal month for musicians, not only in...

Max Crisp That’s sounds like the French dessert ‘crème caramel’. I love it, but don’t have it often. It seems like a special occasion pudding to me. Delicious!

Max Crisp I hope you enjoy your restaurant visit. I like to go out for a meal at least once or twice a month. I have favourite places where I can guarantee a decent meal. I also give new places “a go” but I am often disappointed. Since the pandemic, hospitality has gone...

Trump is meeting with Putin in Alaska tomorrow

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (124532) • United States 14 Aug

Well it is 12:05am here so I guess today. I think the meeting is set for like 3pm EST. This I think isn't even going to be anything interesting. Yeah sure Putin is showing up in the US . (nevermind that Trump said the other day...

Max Crisp “kompromat” That’s a new word to me. I can’t knock Trump for trying to stop the war, but your analysis has proved spot on. No deal and I assume no further sanctions imposed on Putin because of the “progress” made.

Do You Like Pie?

LindaOH @LindaOHio (199649) • United States 15 Aug

Pies can be sweet or savory. Some of the many examples are: mince, lemon meringue, strawberry rhubarb, quiche, pecan, pumpkin, sweet potato, mud, steak and kidney, mushroom, pot, apple, Key lime, chocolate cream, coconut,...

Max Crisp I love pies. In the UK, to be called a pie, it has to have a top crust, so things like quiches, wouldn’t be technically called a pie. If it doesn’t have a top crust, we call them tarts (not to be confused with a wanton woman ), or a flan. As far...

Do you know what mRNA is?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (124532) • United States 9 Aug

Probably not. mRNA stands for messenger ribonucleic acid. It is, as the name implies, a messenger. Our DNA holds the information for how to make proteins. Problem is that DNA stays in the nucleus of cells and the protein-makers...

See Seven States, Or Stand in Four

Four Walls @FourWalls (78382) • United States 7 Aug

Max Crisp Are you doing the balance on one foot challenge to see if your going to die in the next ten years? I did that a while ago and passed. Mind you, so did Michael Mosley and he hasn’t lasted 10 years, so it’s not a reliable test. Great...

Grand…And Then Some

Four Walls @FourWalls (78382) • United States 9 Aug

They call it the “Grand Canyon,” but grand doesn’t even begin to explain it. I’m sure you’re all familiar with the Grand Canyon. You’ve seen pictures, videos, and that funny scene in National Lampoon’s Vacation...

Max Crisp I’ve been there, and it’s very impressive. I was on an organised tour and took a helicopter flight to try to take in the vastness of the canyon. An incredible sight for sure.

Corn flour pudding is ready

Always smiling @allknowing (152857) • India 7 Aug

I gave it a try. Easy to make but not fully happy with the result. Patience is not my middle name and that could be the reason why I did not wait a bit longer for it to set better. Corn flour pudding is normally white but...

Max Crisp I’m confused as to why you thought it was the shower when it’s now the boiler that is suspected. If it’s the boiler, then the whole of the hot water system would be affected. Is there no hot water in the kitchen or any other room with hot water taps? My shower...

Plums with everything!

The final verse
