I just don't like those huge *superstores*. I was there on Wednesday to buy cat food and wild bird seed. I had to walk from one end of the store (lawn & garden) waaaay to the back past the clothing, men's, women's, girl's, boy's, electronic devices, TV's and the shoe department just to get to the cat food. The grocery section is at the other end of the store. It's too darn big. $5.99 lb. sounds like a good price for oxtails. I'm suprised they had them. Jill |

This name was probably created by the 15th-century poet Jacopo Sannazaro for a character in his poem 'Arcadia'...' Here is mine, I never knew this: https://www.behindthename.com/name/gregory "English form of Latin Gregorius, which was from the Late Greek name ΓÏηγοÏιος (Gregorios), derived from γÏηγοÏος (gregoros) meaning "watchful, alert". This name was popular among early Christians, being borne by a number of important saints including Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus (3rd century), Saint Gregory the Illuminator (4th century), Saint Gregory of Nyssa (4th century), Saint Gregory of Nazianzus (4th century), and Saint Gregory of Tours (6th century). It was also borne by the 6th-century pope Saint Gregory I the Great, a reformer and Doctor of the Church, as well as 15 subsequent popes. Due to the renown of the saints by this name, Gregory (in various spellings) has remained common in the Christian world through the Middle Ages and to the present day. It has been used in England since the 12th century. A famous bearer from the modern era was American actor Gregory Peck (1916-2003)...." So, Ms. O., you are a "helper", and I am a "saint"...it is nice to know you....!!! ;-) -- Best Greg |

One of the "Pope Gregorys" was a louche rotter, too, I discovered...very decadent... 8-O The Slavic "Grigory" is a common name, several Russians have exclaimed after I met them, "Ah, Grigory...!!!" I will also add that all the Gregorys I've ever met have been pretty nice and cool people...we are all "characters", but not too bad of a lot... Anyways, a squalid winter day, but I am making chili, and reading several WWII histories, also have got "Jeopardy" on the telly, and my FAVE show, "Judge Judy" will commence shortly...life is good! -- Best Greg |

Love the stuff you are reading though. > > btw I mailed you, dunno if you can get it. Is it my Google mail, if so will check it... One thing that both books stress is that when the US entered the war, it was to help our friend "Poor Little Britain"... [The books are "The Rise of Germany", by James Holland, and "The Second World War", by Victor Davis Hanson ] In popular US history it is somewhat forgotten that Britain had many strengths, e.g. it was the richest country in Europe, it had a solid armaments manufacturing base, the biggest Empire in the world and with solid supply lines to and from those Commonwealth nations, the largest Navy and merchant marine and thus ability to project power, top - class new technologies (radar, penicillin, cracking the "Enigma" code with computing, the Lancaster and Mosquito bombers, many more...)...not to mention superb military and civilian leadership. And that the UK was dedicated to liberty and freedom... So the UK was using all resources to battle the Axis, when the US entered our productive capacity provided a "synergy" that beat back the Axis. Germany, Japan, and especially Italy did not have the resources to fight long and far - flung wars on several fronts. it is especially amusing to read how hapless and helpless the Italians were...and Japan decided to declare war on the US, the US had an economy five times the size of Japan's! Hitler was dismissive of America as a land of "cowboys, Hollywood, and Negro jazz", but when they declared war on us, several in his circle wrote that they were in awe of and in fear of US companies/productive capacity, specifically General Motors and Ford: "If they can produce all those cars, they can produce weapons, too..." History was on our side, Ms. O.... ;-) -- Best Greg |

The grandmother mulls over the name for a while and the right name will make it's presence known somehow, typically in a dream. As a practical matter, I still haven't been able to say the name without stumbling and her name wouldn't fit on her social security card. I'm not sure how they solved that problem. |

I never would have thought they'd carry oxtails, which is where Cheri said she found them for $5.99/lb. Jill |

I feel the same way about Costco and the like and prefer to shop in smaller supermarkets. Now, Walmart has the shopping thing which I did try once and was very handy to have it ready for pickup, but some things I want to see for myself. Cheri |

It doesn't hold much appeal to me anymore, many things don't, and like you, I make things that I didn't have as a child, but I do make a lot of things that I did have as a child. We didn't have much processed food at all in our house in those days. Cheri |

Cooking was just another daily chore. Sure, take shortcuts. We didn't starve. But it made me want to learn to try and cook a lot of new (to me) food. I'd bet you'd like oxtail soup. But if you prefer a stewed lamb shank I understand that, too! Jill |

I really don't know or can't remember if mom and grandma made oxtail soup because they did make a lot of different soups from parts of animals that we butchered. I don't picture them throwing anything away, so probably did. Cheri |

It's a Hawaiian tradition, evidently. The grandmother mulls over the name for a while and the right name will make it's presence known somehow, typically in a dream. As a practical matter, I still haven't been able to say the name without stumbling and her name wouldn't fit on her social security card. I'm not sure how they solved that problem. == Aww I suppose you have your own name for her ![]() |
