Oh, dear it's Lent, I forgot. Sorry!

Lent? Lent???
Avalonians don't worry about Lent.
After all, it is a manly and masculine forum, so lets not forget proper presentation now, shall we?
Marketing is everything these days.

Hey Carmody!

When someone, of your intellect says thank you on my posts. I feel honored! Yes! When you get on a rant. I have to reread that as much as I can. Yes I have somewhat of a scientific background! Well you intrigue me!



ue me . PM me to give a little background! No FBI no CIA, No British stuff either!

Lol, hahaha, lol.

Right! And since cakes can't be lent they have to be taken.

Ah ah ah! I have been puzzled for a good 5 minutes about the word lent. I do not know why, but in my little head (no scientific background here even if my daughter calls me the scientific mom at times) so it is in my little head AND you may not read me O'l Roy-

Well, in my little head lent was lices. I could not understand why anyone would mention eating with lices.

Then suddenly Eureka: it has to do with not eating, a fast

I bet that i lack religious culture on one hand and i am not up to the English language this morning.

I was very busy with heavy dreaming in between hot flashes all night. But as i looked only forty (kidding here) nobody would suspect my state of mind

For the non francophones, 'lente' in French is a louse's egg or nit, the sort that thrives on little heads. Also 'lent' means slow, so Flash is just being a little 'lente' here, which is why she doesn't look a day over forty.

I came to grab another slice but I see I'm too late. Ah, well, just make a bit more next time.

I heard about the fasting this week. It was interesting because the focus was on Germany. Apparently in Germany they're very serious about it and what's more: not all the serious fasters are religiously inspired. Merkel has lost a few pounds too, they noticed on the radio.

The journalist even said that if he went to buy bread in Germany during Lent, the people at the bakery and/or the baker himself would try to dissuade him from buying the bread. I know there's a strong bio-culture in Germany (go there every now and then). And they have a great variety of bread, seeds, and organic labels are sooo much cheaper than here.

In Belgium there are also people who still fast but moderately. People jokingly ask each other: what are you going to drop this Lent? Answers: meat, candy, sex, alcohol, tv, smoking...The first two are the most popular choices.

Mucho gusto, Star (no espeake el italiano).

Lol, Flash.

Sorry, males, model did not make the auditions. We asked her a thousand times: don't forget to look in the lens. It's okay, she'll get there someday. And now, kindly welcome our winner:

omg, Paella - gotta run! [i will never get 'warm' with this - tried many many times; won't any more...]
I'll take the pan, aioli and olives instead, if you don't mind. Lots of 'em. With some of that:

---

"Nothing worse", than having to get up [to go to work, where i'm right now] right at the start of the body's daily detoxification program.
One shouldn't have to get up at this point... all toxins on the loose in the body, and right then "restarting the machine" - no good.
You can possibly feel my head's size and weight now. Additionally, this is one example of a quiet night... *sigh*
High time to get 'unhired'.

[meeradas]

oh, btw:

Happy birthday, Bill and Ernie!

Aioli, in the dish beside the olives.

Made with garlic, lemon juice, extra vigin olive oil, coarse salt and white pepper.
Supposedly contains no eggs, but some prefer it.

Mix 6 to 8 galic cloves with 1 quarter of a teaspoon of salt.
Add 2 and a half tsp. of lemon juice and a quarter tsp. of white pepper.
Add quarter of a cup of olive oil. Egg can be added now but is opptional.
Add half cup of olive oil slowly to mixture until it is a flowing sauce.

Great as a dip, spread on bread, or over roasted~steamed vegetables.

On another note, may good changes come to your working area, Meeradas, and a soothing balm for your heaviness.

Birthday Greetings to Bill and Ernie!

Here is my sofa, in the new place.
I wouldn't mind having Bill and Ernie here for a chat.
I might even learn how to bake a cake, just for them.
