What does your answer to the above question mean in English? Meh, just ok (French).
Did you know Winston Churchill's mum was an American? Yes, I read the book "Jennie" as a teen. And in one of my collections we had a book of hers from when she was young - it was signed "Jennie Jerome" on the frontispiece. I'll never forget finding that in the collection, no one knew we had it.
Foodie Questions: Feel like a nut or not? I loves me some nuts. At the last historic site where I worked we had SO many walnut trees, and we would let people just come take buckets of walnuts home - we couldn't sell them, even the Amish didn't want them. I had to go around for weeks scooping walnuts off the ground with a nut gatherer, and we had piles and piles and piles of them just rotting on the grounds. Made me feel guilty - so wasteful! They were actually dangerous - I rolled my foot on one and thought I had broken my foot. I dyed some wool with walnuts just to see what color it would be - kind of brownish yellow. . . And that was more about walnuts than any of you ever wanted to know!
Fondue or fon-don't? Eeew, germs.
Cinnamon roll or fruit-filled danish?
PS - I only appreciate bats if they stay out of my house.
