Arlo: A radish!!
Arlo: With God as my witness, I'll never be hungry again!!
Woman: I'll make those poor souls a nice casserole, but you're going to take it over there!
One of those famous scenes you’re supposed to never forget. Gone with the wind. After the civil war Scarlet O’Hara finds herself without a penny and is forced to root through the fields of the plantation to find something, anything to eat. She finds a turnip and eats it raw and swears to do anything she can to never go hungry again, thus setting up the storyline for the rest of the film.
“Radish so red, radish so red, sleeping so snug in your warm little bed. Springle some salt on the top of your head, gulp,delicious.” Name that movie and it ain’t GWTW.
I know people with no sense of humor. I was with my friend while he was shopping in a nearly empty urban hardware store when I spied an orange traffic cone. I put it on my head and said, “I’ll get you, my pretty! And your little dog too!!” He was immediately embarrassed and told me to stop. Where’s your sense of fun?
Susan, yeah, dummy used to mean a person who couldn’t speak….
My dad, (born in 1904) would say…“I see, said the blind man, you’re a liar said the dummy.” I makes more sense when it means not being able to speak. The word mute would work better….
Re: Potato salad, when I was first married – I followed numerous potato salad recipes, but nothing was quite right. Then I had an epiphany – make it the way Mom made it! Take some nice Idaho potatoes (the oval kind),peel, chunk them up large, cook 15 min. or until a fork pierces nicely. You can salt water. The last ten minutes of cooking, toss in one or two washed eggs. Meanwhile, chop up onions fairly fine. Drain potatoes, saving a little potato water. Salt and pepper potatoes to taste, add a nice bit of mayo, some yellow mustard; peel eggs, cut them up coarsely into potatoes, moosh onions in, using potato masher if you wish, sprinkle with vinegar. I usually use some kind of wine vinegar, but cider vinegar is fine. Add potato water if the salad isn’t most enough. This is a very forgiving recipe, and you alter amounts to suit the crowd. If the potato chunks devolve into mashed pot’s, don’t worry – mine often do. I always carry the vinegar to the table, as I like mine way vinegary.

Yeah, simpsonfan, must not be movie buffs…
For the record, if you serve potato salad without radishes, or celery, I’ll bring my own…

I always thought it was “As God is my witness.”

Just yesterday I was wondering how many people watch GWTW on 2 inch cell phone screens.

“As God is my witness….” is from the epic movie, Gone with the Wind. Rent it, watch it. Its worth it.

Sounds good – though I prefer mine non gritty. My mom was born in the country near Goldsboro in 1904 . . .

Radish planted around your squash plants will keep the squash bugs away. Sorry, all I got.
