Three legs of Man. Now what's that all about?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_the_Isle_of_Man

I just saw a sign with those three legs on it as a restaurant logo. I was wondering what it was about myself. Now that you say, "three legs of man" ....I think it might be self-explanatory.

Thankfully, we ate across the street at a nice little Indian place. Great food too! No KFC on that menu!

My favorite of hers is On Golden Pond from 1981. I didn't see it until the summer of 1982...right after we had been told my Dad had less than six months to live. Being only 26 and my Dad 72, the movie truly hit home for me.

Two things you can never deny about Miss Kate: She was a beautiful woman her whole life, and damn could she act!

Sorry, but
I think that's the wrong Ms Hepburn.
Supremely talented, without a doubt, but not the one i had in mind.
Audrey, not Katherine.

Opps!

Well hey...the rule is you can post anything that is even barely remotely associated, so just pretend I was joining the Hep's together.

High five!

I once heard a mum on the school run saying to her friend in exasperation. "He said that he'd never slapped the other kid, he 'high-fived' his face."

Awww, I love Audrey Hepburn! Katharine Hepburn is gorgeous too of course.
for all Hepburns.

LOL, look what I brought back from Rome:

 

[49greg]

The first time I saw Audrey Hepburn was Roman Holiday.

Zowie.

I heard somewhere that when the powers that be were discussing billing for that movie, Gregory Peck told them to put her name on the top even though she was a newbie at the time, said she was going to be one of the greats.

He was right.

I wonder if they could all come from Hebburn (on the river Tyne)

Many years ago, a graphic designer friend of mine was commissioned to design a poster for a production of Sean O'Casey's play: Juno and the Paycock. Just for the fun of it, he used his own name as 'the headliner'. And, somewhat to his surprise, that's how it got printed.

That just goes to show, that if you have the cheek to promote yourself, you will often get more than you expected. Patient Lee was posting recently on her blog about how we need to be more confident at work in order not to allow managers to walk all over us.

Hello, Honey

And carrots are good for your eyes. Funny how these myths persist.

as my Dad always said, and I quote him: "You can never beat a root". play on beetroot, of course

Don't you mean, you should never beat a root?

Roast parsnips are nice. I like the way they caramelise at the edges.

Fact: Carrots are high in vitamin A, a nutrient essential for good vision.
Not the only source, of course.

My ol' Mum used to cook beetroot.
It's a vegetable which always seemed to feature too much vinegar, for my taste.

The only time I like vinegar is on french fries. Just something about the way they drag such an interesting flavor out of the potatoes.

I like mayonnaise on chips ... I mean french fries.

I like the way (in KFC or Maccas) Chinese put tomato sauce ... er ketchup ... on French Fries.. I mean chips..using those little sachets of sauce. While most Westerners squeeze the contents out at once, they squeeze a tiny line of sauce over each chip...er French Fry.

oh and if I don't add a good splash of vinegar to an opened can of beetroot it will spoil in a few days even in the fridge.

My first trip to Europe when I was fifteen started in London. I was quickly educated about "chips" in a Wimpy's when I tried to order french fries. The next stop was Paris and in the course of trying to show off my new understanding of "international cuisine" ordering chips only got me in trouble. Seems the French have no desire to share their pomme frites in any manner with the Brits. When we hit Frankfort there was no problem since the KFC we went to the first night clearly displayed fries on their menu board even though I guess most places there use "frites" to refer to them. I was so confused at that point I just avoided even asking for the damn things in Zurich and Amsterdam.

Pizza is what I have truly specialized in though in my travels. On my last trip to Europe in 2002, the priority in each country was to sample their idea of pizza. Surprisingly the best ones were found in a little hole-in-the-wall place in the middle of the red light district of Copenhagen and in downtown Budapest.
