Hey imman, thanks for the pecan pesto recipe!!
==
I just want to say thanks also. Browsed (grazed?) through the entire thread looking for that recipe and afraid imman wd not come through. Cd have done a page search, but think of the fun I’d have missed. Also, not one but two CHESS pie recipes. There’s a traditional treat that Really needs to make a comeback.

Wd love to know how imman serves the pecan pesto, though.

To all for father’s day:
I just came back from a spiritual service where they offered a prayer of gratitude not only for all the fathers present, but for all the SINGLE MOMS DOING THE WORK OF FATHERS TOO! The place went wild and over 1000 people were on their feet.

Not falling in either category myself, it was nevertheless a moving experience.

So, to all the fathers on FDL - and any single parents doing the work of fathers - thanks for all you do.

And teach your children well about what is necessary to return this country to a true democracy.

Happy Father’s Day!

Susan 103:

You know, the Pennsylvania Dutch got right to the point when they called rhubarb pie plant; can’t beat a piece of rhubarb pie, regular or custard. But no strawberries mixed in, please! With rhubarb, it’s all or nothing…

EPU’d but wanted to thank P J Evans for the savory rhubarb recipe.

I love sweets but shouldn’t really eat them, so I rarely get to have rhubarb but this one sounds really interesting and yummy.

Thanks tasch - regurgitated nectar, sounds heavenly!

The so called news is so bad I want to vomit! How could he miss his chance to challenge them about alternatives to more drilling and same-old, same-old? How could he not ask them what their profits would have been IF they had paid the royalty taxes they were supposed to or paid out the Exxon-Valdeeze fine instead of fighting it? ARGH!!!I’ll pay $5 per gallon IF there is an alternative in the works. We hate paying $3 because we know they’re NOT working on any long term solution.

Mary-

You are right about the issue of Al Qaeda in Iraq. If the Democrats had an ounce of brains, they would keep pounding out Murtha’s point, which is that the terrorists make up only 7 percent of those who are aligned against the coalition forces in Iraq. Again, to be very clear, that figure is not seventy percent but SEVEN. The Republicans keep going on about how the U.S. has to keep fighting against the terrorists. As Murtha has also pointed out, it is the very presence of the U.S. military that is inflaming the insurgency and creating a breeding ground for the terrorists. The terrorists are also in 60 other countries around the world. Do the Republicans expect the U.S. to invade and occupy sixty other countries, in what should be seen as a police action instead of one which involves military force? The Democrats and activists have to get a hell of a lot more persistent in getting these messages out to the citizens of this country. End the occupation and bring the troops home- NOW.

Precisely. That is the suppliers script for users. More of the same. Deal with the symptom; not the cause. And then all will be fine. That’s why ‘talk’ and the lip service to ethanol was just that. Lip service. Strictly p.r. bunk. I almost gagged when that one oil-head said that maybe in thirty years bio-fuel might make an impact. Can you imagine the discussion these guys have in their board meetings following one of their talking-head appearances with Timothy or the rest. I visualize a lot of cigar smoke, the Texas two-step, martinis and back slapping.

Your talk of birds made me remember the bird nest I found in a big hanging plant on my patio, that I saved, and will keep forever. I cut my girls hair on the patio, and thought I had swept it all up afterward. A few months later we heard chirping in the hanging basket. We watched the mother and father birds feed the babies for days. Once they were gone, we took the plant down to see the nest. It was made entirely of spun blond hair. My little daughter’s hair!

I just love FDL, and everyone here! Happy Father’s Day to all!

Tried to watch the Sunday shows, but got disgusted listening to the oil company execs explaining their obscene profits. My vote for best quote has to be, regarding ethanol production, “There’s only so much corn.”

The hummingbird was the highlight of my morning. Ours will start showing up when the agastache comes into bloom. I’m jealous of all who have cardinals; we don’t have those here in Utah. We’ve had sightings of the lovely elegant little eastern blue jays here, but at our house we get only the large, noisy scrub jays (also blue), and the occasional Stellar jay. The parents may be bullies, but who could complain about those little blue babies just learning to fly.

Thanks for the pics, Christy
