Celebrating Mother's Day tonight with the bride and kids and having my

Tonight's menu:

Grilled Pineapple Spears
Lemon-Pepper Grilled Shrimp Skewers
Steamed Green Beans
Orzo Pasta (Tossed in a light Balsamic-Olive Oil Dressing)
Sourdough Bread with Homeade Butter (Kid-Powered Project)

Turning Leaf Chardonnay

Pineapples do not have spears.

Neither do trees, but the patient mind can find the hidden spear within
Grasshopper :-)

My parents got the bright idea to landscape with Yucca and other tropical

From your days in Hawaii? Very cool. I want to go there one day.

It's really lovely to live there! 1986-1989 for me.

Lucky you!

Okay, since the thread began I've been wondering how many people involved
know what the Subject is a reference to.

Show of hands?


Showing my age and hillbilly upbringing on this one! VBG

We will be smuggling BBQ into the nursing home where SO's mother lives.
By coincidence, my sister and her family took my mother out for BBQ
today. (Great minds think alike.)

Very cool!

At my dear mom's request today I prepared:

BBQ (the Noun)
Baked Beans
Texas Toast
Home Fries
Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (Prepared wholly by my
eldest son who recently crosseed the threshold to teenage-hood)

That's precisely why we planted so many sharp, spiny, thorny, prickly
desert plants in our yard...to keep people out of it. The most fun of all
is watching someone get too close to a Jumping Cholla. :-)

I got bit by one of those once. So many barbed spines in me they had to
cut it off and then pull the individual stubs out.

Yep, that's how they work! Very painful, too.

IMO, the body answered the subject question. YMMV.

I'd answer this but I'm too busy cleaning a non existent window pane.

Life is a walk of death. Each day we walk hand in hand with death, and
nothing can
guarantee our living one more day.
Treat every breath as the last, every heart beat, every moonrise, and
every smile.
For who can say they won't be... Ride the Wind's, and where
ever they take you, make it better, that is the way of the
warrior.

Pineapples do not have spears.

That's one of the reasons they never developed an empire of their own.

which is odd, since they do have gunpowder.

But did they in the Age of Empire Building? Did they know how to use it?

probably just made fireworks, the improvident wastrels.
