7. Best movie released between 1938 and 1948?

[Aristus]

8. The Adventures Of Robin Hood.

No question about it. Magnificent film. Olivia de Havilland was ravishing. Basil Rathbone made a fantastic villain.

[leftieNanner]

9. Love that movie!

Enjoy the buzz my friend.

[Aristus]

12. I am!

[Talitha]

14. The Palamino ridden by Maid Marion was Roy Rogers' 'Trigger.'

On TCM, Bob Osborne would introduce movies with trivia like that.
I miss him, he was a cinematic encyclopedia!

[Aristus]

16. Cool!

I didn’t know that. Thanks!

[Mme. Defarge]

10. Dry sherry for Moi.

A Fred Meyer/Kroger substitute for the Amontillado I tried to order. Not too bad, but I prefer my first choice.

11. Had my new favorite shot this evening. Moderna.

Laying low for the next day or two. I'll catch up next week.

[Talitha]

15. Good evening, Aristus! A Vodka question if I may.

Is there a taste-detectable difference between Vodka made from potatoes and Vodka made from (I think) grain?

Just getting ready to have some Bacardi Spiced Rum, myself.
I'm still pissed off that they discontinued their Oakheart line.
Oh well... anyway, yo-ho-ho, here I go!

We love ya right back, Kiddo!

[Aristus]

17. I've mostly had vodka from grain.

I once had a small bottle of Polish potato vodka. Didn’t think much of it.

[Talitha]

18. Thanks!!!!

[MissB]

19. How many coughs will I cough tonight?

Especially after 5 mls of hycodan.

[Aristus]

22. Five.

Use them wisely...

[niyad]

20. And we love you back. What are your plans for Sunday?

[Aristus]

23. Easter dinner with Mrs. A and our grandson.

And you?

[niyad]

25. I usually spend Easter at a friend's pot luck, but no gathering there since CoViD. I think that I

will fix a ham. One should have a proper ham bone when making split pea soup.

[Aristus]

26. I love split pea soup!

Mrs. A is doing Thanksgiving for Easter: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, apple pie, the works...

[niyad]

27. Yummmmmm. Turkeys are on sale this week at my supermarket. Hmmmmmm. .Have you ever had

bourbon sweet potatoes?

[Aristus]

28. You had me at bourbon.

But no; not yet...

[niyad]

29. I think you might like them

Easy to do. Parboil sweet potatoes until almost done. Cool, peel slice or cube. Place in buttered casserole dish. Bourbon, brown sugar and butter to taste. Cover. 350 for 30-40 minutes. About 1/4 cup bourbon per person about right. Do keep covered so you don't set fire to the oven as one person I know did!

You might like a marinade I learned years ago. Looks disgusting, but tastes great. Equal parts bourbon, soy sauce, Dijon mustard and honey. I used to use it on a London broil, marinated overnight, with broiled stuffed tomatoes and saffron rice.

[Aristus]

30. Sounds wonderful!

I'll have to make it sometime.

That and the London Broil. The marinade sounds perfect.

[niyad]

31. You will have to let me know how they came out.

Shhh, don't tell anyone, but sometimes, with the sweet potatoes, I cheat and use . . . .canned yams. Just slice or dice and continue with recipe.

[Aristus]

32. I'll probably go with canned.

Why make extra work?

21. Snoopy's Doghouse, Like the Doctor's Tardis

was bigger inside than it was outside. Could it travel in time? I know it could fly.

"I wanna fly like a beagle, to the sea.
I wanna fly like a beagle, Let my doghouse carry me."

[Aristus]

24. Back to World War I, at least.

33. How long from ...

seedlings to pruning time ?

Pluck a leave here and there to promote bushier plants.

[Aristus]

34. Roughly three to four months, give or take...
