Fortune Cokkie III

Thought we had lost you!

Hi Mory

GG

Hey Mory!

Really great to have you back!

Hi Mory



Sure am glad to see you posting again! You were VERY much missed. Have you been hidding out in Australia?

Welcome back!

"Cokkie"? Tee-hee!

I got a kick out of the post about turning on a dime - I have a farm but also a little
apartment in town for when the snow gets over
six feet. The apartment is in a former 200
year old Opera House and Grange Hall. It's "haunted" with several of the old
vaudeville troopers who used to grace the stage.
There are three apartments but the other two never stay rented for more than a month.--anyway, I got up one morning and went in the kitchen to make coffee. I was looking at the floor so I wouldn't trip -
"A Good Thing" as Martha would say - because
The kitchen floor was gone - fallen into the basement which I did not know existed. There is a fresh water spring under the building and the giant timbers just rotted away. In the far corner my new Kitchen Aid Mixer I had just sniped was resting on seven layers of linoleum still clinging to the wall. My gostly friends had saved it from the creek below. So turning on a dime - it was time for a vacation - I grabbed a few things and in an hour I was on the road...when broke I could come home.. to open the bills...
Thanks for the "Welcomes"

Versus kookie.

Just turned on the TV to NBC in LA and see
they still haven't gotten justice for Lacy
Peterson and the baby. Also that more people are drowing in undertows on Florida beaches this year than were lost by all three storms - can this be true? My neighbor just brought me a big sack of Green Tomatoes as they will freeze tonight for sure. So either have to fry them or make a pie. Maybe a pie and the rest can go in some mincemeat for Thanksgiving Pies.

Don't care HOW you spell it, it is great to see you back!!!!!

Welcome back Mory. We wondered what happened to you.

FOR REAL???!!!! That sounds like one of my nightmares! Sink holes and leaky roofs. I figure I must have lived in a really bad house in my former life!

MG, lol, that reminded me of a story my husband told about a customer. She went to the toilet and while she was sitting on it, the toilet fell through the floor..her on it! She fell so hard (she was heavy) that she got stuck and the fire dept. had to help pull her out!

YAY YAY!! Mory is BACK!!!!!!!!

Welcome Back Mory

Mory, please tell me how you create your green tomatoe pie! I love them.

Green Tomatoe Pickles - make that Mory. Delish!!

Lexie,yep, good, good!!!

"I" "T"

Mrs M -I use the green tomato just like a fresh apple and you don't have to peel it and it doesn't turn brown. I cut them in both slices and wedges. I pat them with towel if very moist. Devide the slices in half - dredge one half with flour the other half with Corn Starch. I shake off the flour but not the starch as I like a clear sauce. I used to use just a few drops of lemon but to keep the filling dry now I dust it with either lemon Jello or Lemon Kool Aid. Just a little or it will make the cinnamon bitter.
I have stopped making an Open lace Pastry Pie
and now use a simple Cinnamon Crumb filling.
3/4 cup of flour, a cup of sugar, 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon - fork mix in - six tablespoons of butter.
This green tomato filling I also layer between trimmed pork chops and bake with the
same crumb topping. This topping is great also on bread pan filled with Sweet Potatoes. When I use it on Yams I also drizzle pancake or Maple Syrup over the crumb mixture. Unfortunately there is no Lo-Cal version of this .
I have put a litle Dill also in the chops
but would rather have it in a big chunky loaf of fresh Dill Rye Bread.
Yesterday I braided some Garlic with the last of the fresh Dill. Woven into it are two Silver Plated Soup Spoons . It's a fall kitchen wall hanging I make for friends for Thanksgiving. I also trade them for Maple Syrup.Corn Relish & Salsa. - it keeps me out of or maybe off my rocker....
I have been off-line 3 days changing my E-Mail address to dump spam - I added two numbers to the address and it seems to have worked. still manually updating addresses.
I work a couple hours every day at it but
it has really taken the joy out of being online so must get it done.
Bartelby: I used to make pickles out of the small green tomatoes I made them with watermelon rind - sweet with cloves - crunchy
My grandmother used to add baby carrots and Onions that came from our thinning the rows. Needless to say that nothing was wasted. (still need a spell check on this program) - later,,,mory...

My desktop crashed and I have been 3 days
trying to restore ....not a happy camper from
losing my E-mails.
So am on the Laptop -on my Road Runner-not used to the delicate touch yet - rest my hands and lose where I'm typing.
Just changed Ebay and some accounts to my
new address that was fun -
so will try this entry-and see if it posts. mory

Thank you, Mory! My Mother made the best green tomatoe pie. I have been searching for years for a recipe that tastes like her's. I will give it a try!

I am on the laptop and hate it - have to learn to keep my hands up - what happened to the ability to edit a post?

In case you haven’t already thought of this, consider getting a wireless keyboard.

That should still be working – it is for me.

I will probably have to go wireless as my hands are just too big and the delete key in a new place causes errors faster than I can correct them - good idea.
The correction feature that used to come up on the lower right after posting has not been showing. Maybe later..

I’ve only seen that happen to one other member, and she could never get it resolved. That was probably a year ago. Don’t know if this will help, but you might want to take a look at your authority. At top of page, click on “Go”, then “My Space”, then “Permissions”. Then click on “UBB.x - eBay Auction Sniper Message Boards” and then “Personal Permissions”. Is “Edit/Delete Own Posts” checked? I have no idea if this is the source of the problem.

I know that Dan Quayle famously stuck an 'e' on the end of 'potato' on a school blackboard, but does the US version of 'tomato' have one as well? I am intrigued, as Lexie also uses this.

Thanks Rick ---I went to Permissions tab and only thing I have is "View Discussions"

There.. is no choice or box for edit and delete own posts- sure wish there was./....

My Mother was very "proper" and she always insisted that we say ( I am pronouncing it, not spelling) toe mau toe, poe tau toe, etc. Anything other than, would surely bring forth a lecture from her!

That’s strange. I checked out Infopop’s forum and couldn’t find anything that would help. Maybe leaving Sara a post in one of the other forums might get a response.

Wow! Am curious about what the lecture about alternative pronounciations would discuss?? Seems like much ado 'bout nuthin' to me! So, Mrs.M, how do you pronounce those words now? - The way your Mom wanted, or the way most Americans do?

Plural is "toes", for both.

Take a look at this:
>> here <<
Lexie has some experience in contacting infopop directly. Might be worth a try, and Lexie might give you some pointers. Might, might?

Jabber, when I was not in her presence, and now, I pronounce them like an American! Lol!

Mory,what happens if you write the problem in a post and then click the triangle for reporting posts? Does it still go to AS or to Infopop? If it goes to Infopop, someone could send it for you.

Found this avatar on another site and thought some of the Americans might like it. I thought it was pretty and a little different!

My "guess" would be that it would go to Sara as she would be the only one that could determine the appropriateness of a post. Again, that’s my guess. But this leads me to believe they go to Sara:

Sara did edit Lexie’s post regarding the use of the triangle:

But, that maybe for sniping issues and not forum issues.

Your guess is probably correct.

Not to disappoint anyone, but I see two question marks in that picture. Things are improving.

Do you mean... Please, GOD ? Well, it is not a prayer and I do think the please, etc. is understood, if this is what you mean.

Even for my youth, my guesser does a decent job of guessing, I guess.

That’s good. I was taught that religion and politics are two subjects to avoided in polite conversation.
