Many apologies to those who did not make it. Youāll notice I didnāt make it either (but there was one named F Sharp who I kinda felt a kinship with)

For those of you adventurous enough to explore that far down on the food chain ā some nutria recipes.
Heart Healthy āCrock-Potā Nutria
2 hind saddle portions of nutria meat
1 small onion, sliced thin
1 tomato, cut into big wedges
2 potatoes, sliced thin
2 carrots, sliced thin
8 Brussels sprouts
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup water
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup demi-glace (optional)
Those brussells sprouts ought to cover up the taste of any kind of nasty bit that made its way into the crockpot.
I havenāt been in for a bit, and I am so surprised anyone would have noticed me after not being active in here for so long, even if itās just my name you noticed. Thanks for the nod!
Reading your list, Iād love to know the stories behind folksā names. I wish the profile included a place for that. Would be a fun read.
And FJohnSharp, I could read a few meanings into your name. Is that F for Fred, a true first name you hate likeā¦hmmmā¦Flagellon? Or is John Sharp someone you donāt like, and youāre saying to everyone that, wellā¦that you donāt like himā¦just āFā John Sharp!ā?
Iāll tell you the story of Katie. I had a dream of this girl, Katie, standing by her garden gate. She was living long ago in the old times. She had long flowing red hair and was a lovely girl in this long dress. The morning sun was shining on her, and her red hair just glowed. Hey, I was dreaming this drivel, so donāt hold me responsible! Every morning and evening she would stand by her garden gate and watch the guys pass by on their way to the village or the fields. She was dreaming about meeting her soul mate, ātheā one. She didnāt know that she would never meet her soul mate because fate would keep them from ever meeting. She didnāt know that one of those plain, simple, honest men she saw every day would have been the perfect man who would have loved her all her days with all his heartā¦if only she would not have been so blind to him as he passed her gate. One smile or glance his way would have changed her lonely world. So Katie by the gate was stuck in my mind when I woke up, that image of her standing there pining away. I wish I could paint. Iād paint it. I garden, and Iād love to just have the garden I dreamed behind her! lol
It just sounded like a good name for an Irish flute tune, and I was new to computers. I needed a name for email, and I stuck that in there. Iāve used it ever since. Yeah, itās a long name to type, but people donāt forget it either.
Another real-name-user who was likewise omitted. Sigh. The offenses and indignities will never cease. SteveShaw and I will form our own little support group.
Damn, Katiebythegate, 2 posts in 4 years, you rock.
The F stands for Frederick, a passed-down family name, the eldest living holder of which keep custody of a hand hammered pewter cup. I am the current holder. Fortunately, ill does not tend to befall the cupholder, historically.
