>>>>she said being probably the only person in the entire world who refuses to acknowledge that "guys" can include anyone of the female persuasion.

Really Jackie?? I didn't know that. "Guys" is so generic when used to address a group of friends.

Not for me, it's not. And not much where I live, either, though I've begun hearing it here and there. I am not so rabid as to try and force (or even ask) others to quit using it, but I don't think the day'll ever come when I use it that way. [out of step again icon]

Father Steve, this is all your fault!

Dear Chums ~

I am in Texas, rather than home, and have only occasional access to the net. I am willing, however, to accept long-distance blame for whatever it is that was all my fault. I'm used to this. I'm married.

There you go, stirring up the pot again F.S.

Didja mean "chums" as in buddy: a close friend who accompanies his buddies in their activities

or

"chums" as in bait consisting of chopped fish and fish oils that are dumped overboard to attract fish ?

Now I'm not sure if I should be pleased or insulted at your greeting.

I cannot be held responsible. Tonight we had catfish deep-fried in a cornmeal breading and hushpuppies, also deep-fried. As a result, there is so much fat circulating in my blood stream that it has cut off the circulation and oxygen transfer to my brain. Yahoo.

Beloved Max ~

Your basic Texas hushpuppy is a wad of dough made of corn meal, eggs, milk, salt, sugar and baking powder which is hurled into a vat of hot oil and cooked until it is done on the inside and crispy golden on the outside. These are served with a variety of condiments, hot red sauce being one and maple syrup being another. Yahoo!

Deep-fried bread. How can you go wrong. I've had hushpuppies, the southern foodstuff, once and enjoyed them. Came with some pricy sauce to tart them puppies up a bit. When I was a wee'un I assumed that hushpuppies were breaded fried salamanders for some reason.


Ceci n'est pas un seing.
