Its funny how different regions and countries cook the same food so differently. Here in the southern USA...whatever it is you need to cook-its fry it, or you could fry it...then again, you could fry it. :roll: That includes all veggies, meats and fish. :roll: Can you tell by our big buts and bellies?

I do think southern ppl would dip and fry just about anything. K, you could walk thru a fair or flea market here, and your bound to find something battered, fried, and a stick in it...just be careful, ya never know if it was something trying to crawl past, and like a cat, they just jumped on it! :shock: :lol:

Pelargoniums are often (wrongly!) called geraniums - sorry, I'm a bit of a botany snob! The window boxes are terracotta and the pelargoniums are red!
The song is Abba - Thank You For the Music! And the real lyric is 'everyone listens when I start to sing!'

I used to have red ones, and loved them. Hubby mows everything if I don't put little fences around them. Think I am gonna get me some. I gotta break him of that habit. He likes for yard to be all square and straight lines. Me? I like a dab of different colors, all over! :D

Well, it's not really WRONG since most people call them that buuut (hrmm hrmm, clears throat, prepares to lecture!) BOTANICALLY speaking, geraniums are in fact a hardy perennial, common name, cranesbill NOT the plants I just put out which are BOTANICALLY speaking, pelargoniums! End of lecture! Here's a link if you're really interested, otherwise just ignore me and go on calling them geraniums like most of the rest of the planet, except saddo know it alls like me!

PS Try landmines to keep Kenny off your flowers - I guarantee he'd only mow over 'em once!

Pelargonium (pronounced /ˌpɛlɑrˈɡoʊniəm/)[1] is a genus of flowering plants which includes about 200 species of perennials, succulents, and shrubs, commonly known as geraniums or storksbills. Confusingly, Geranium is the correct botanical name of a separate genus of related plants often called Cranesbills. Both genera are in the Family Geraniaceae. Linnaeus originally included all the species in one genus, Geranium, but they were later separated into two genera by Charles L’Héritier in 1789. Gardeners sometimes refer to the members of Genus Pelargonium as "pelargoniums" in order to avoid the confusion, but the older common name "geranium" is still in regular use. wikipedia/source
Land mines...like wile e. coyote and roadrunner...LOL, ironically, that is what I call him - roadrunner. Now that's idea, I think one of us can live with, lol! :wink:
