A local place (Kilarney House) makes a braised lamb shank that falls apart when you touch it with a fork. The first time I got it my wife had to take a picture before I got a bite. Tender, moist,...

It's not in Columbia, but my favorite spot in called Kilarney House http://www.killarneyhousepub.com/index.html for great Irish food and drink. Columbia is mostly full of chains that will serve the...

I went to the grocery store at 6:30 this morning and got 8 gallon jugs of water, two cases of bottled water, 2 loaves of bread and some cup cakes. Tonight we're going to try to get patio furniture,...

It was really strange for those of us who've never been in one before. This city does not deal well with disasters. It took me four hours to get home - normally about an hour trip. The subway was...

Here is Austin, one of our four (at the moment) rescue Cocker Spaniels. We also have two rescue cats. We have been working with the Oldies But Goodies Cocker Spaniel rescue for years and have hosted...

Hi Folks,

I just got my second kilt - an SWK Gordon. I got it used, but it's a good fit. And I know that if there aren't pics then it didn't happen. So here we go:

Trying to avoid being:

Dumb as a box of rocks. (But sometimes I don't make it.)

Noooo. Twitter is the Reader's Digest Condensed Version. :cool:

OK, so I pulled my Photobucket account out of the mothballs and I'll see if I can get some pics to work.

Syndnie7 - thanks for the info. I will pass this on to my wife. We get lots of activity at the regular feeders, but have never had a lot of hummers at that feeder.

Any more takers? I just got my first kilt this weekend and want to take it out for a spin.

BTW, when you say "time for dinner" do you mean time to eat before we meet? Just want to know what to...

Do you make your own syrup? My wife wants to make her own (after she heard that the red dye can cause kidney damage) but doesn't know the proportions of sugar to water.

Thanks,

Hi Brooke, thanks for the tip. I have looked at full size versions, but they were too pricey. This is a good option to look at.

The tartan is Dundas Ancient and the stripe is red. That's what I...

My first kilt arrived this weekend. I had one as part of a band, but this is the first one I've bought for myself. This is Dundas Ancient and is from Burnetts and Struth.

I'm not sure how to...

I like the yellow garters, but red would look nice too. A suggestion for shirts - JC Penny. I am both big and tall but I can still find reasonably priced shirts from JC Penny on-line. I wear an 18...

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better. So much for "healthy" eating. :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Let me check with my wife. I might be able to start Father's Day weekend with a night out.

Congratulations. The pictures are charming. I must comment that the sash did a wonderful job of picking up the highlights in your hair. It looks great on you and you should look for more chances to...

But most of them are imported for temporary terms, we try to be gracious hosts - but you should see some of those southerners drive the first time it snows each year. :shock::shock::shock:

We're used to it. If you can't ignore it around here, you don't last long. I just may not bother to respond if I don't find it funny.

I guess I'll have to actually go to a Jimmy Johns now. I saw one and only remembered it for it's name. I have a twin brither named John and when we were growing up, our Dad called us "Jimmy John"...

If you look where his right hand is, you'll understand the cat's expression. :twisted:

I was reading this while eating my ham and cheese and talking to my wife. We're having Reubens for dinner tonight!!! I'm cooking!

Here is a link to a video of the Parade of Clans.

I have more video of the massed bands and several individual bands on my TouTube channel if you want to see more.

I would choose Glenmorangie, it's all I've been drinking for years. But my whiskey drinking days are waning and it's been the same bottle for about 3 years now. But the empty wine bottles are on the...
