I think that will take me awhile. Sandy M

Now I want a Kir Royale.

:)Well you learn something every day here! I didn't know a large bottle of champagne was called a Methuselah, I always thought it was a magnum.

I thought a methuselah was a wise old man!

I always thought it gave the wrong image on here, I quite like being a Senior member but I have enough problems getting older without being called a wise old woman!

Congratulations Chichantal.

And for those who are silly enough to order something smaller than a regular bottle:

is it permissible to make Kir with pink wine, I wonder? Or does it have another name?

I would like to make it clear that I HAVE been making Kir with pink wine, whether or not it's permissible. However since I drink pernod and coke there is little hope for my palate.

Cigalechanta, have a glassful on me . . .

I mean, the framboise or cassis is going to turn the color, how would you know? (Cheers!)

Ellen is this the one about the guy who sold his wife for a pair of shoes? I too grew up in Yorkshire but I remember my mum who's Scottish with Cockney parents teaching me that.

Beckstah! Cassis is better in Kir as it has a stronger flavour. Framboise is good as framboise or with fizzy eau.

Nebuchadnezzar the King of the Jews
Sold his wife for a pair of shoes
When the shoes began to pinch
Nebuchadnezzar began to flinch
When the shoes began to wear
Nebuchadnezzar began to swear
When the shoes began to leak
Nebuchadnezzar began to squeak

When the shoes began to crack
Nebuchadnezzar said “Take them back!”
The moral of this story’s true
If your wife you want to lose
Don’t sell her for a pair of shoes!

Skipping rope was about the most athletic thing I could do other than riding a bike, I never could learn to skate!!

Life is not waiting for the storm to pass,
but learning to dance in the rain

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
