My frien...Beautiful Garden! god i LOVE your life! <br /><br />My friend and research partner, Fatima, makes a GREAT peanut soup. It's a Bolivian thing... she's from there. It is SO GOOD. I love peanuts in recipes. <br /><br />and my dear friend Mr. Nigel Fox love Boddingtons...probably because it's cheap .... hahahah ... well it's good too! <br /><br />And of course I love guinness .. although i understand that real beer/ale/stout <i>aficionados</i> sort of poopoo it because it has become such a vast commercial empire (and the cans have a WIDGET, god forbid ... and well i mean, it's available in a CAN...how crass is that???). don't care. i made the pilgrimage to the dublin headquarters last november. hahah AMEN come lord jeeeeezus!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-33995832405434276352009-07-14T07:46:22.186-04:002009-07-14T07:46:22.186-04:00Those bees, Surani. They look all innocent, then W...Those bees, Surani. They look all innocent, then WHAM! They murder the queen!<br /><br />Monika, the peanuts really made the soup. There was a quarter cup of peanut butter in it too. Of course, if you have peanut allergies, this is not the recipe for you! :)<br /><br />Brian, I won't have honey this year, and I won't have buckwheat honey until we get buckwheat planted. But next year, I can (I hope) give you lots of non-buckwheat honey! It's a bad year for honey and if my girls make any, I am going to have to let them keep it for themselves. The process of harvesting it doesn't hurt the bees, but you have to leave them enough honey stores to get through the winter or they will die.<br /><br />ChefNick, if you're looking for a bee, go out on your balcony and check the flowers on your tomato plants! :) On the pet front, bees also don't throw up on your carpeting, leave hair on your black pants, or need surgery to remove things they shouldn't have eaten, like cell phones and cacti.Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-14223042221836638482009-07-14T06:34:19.938-04:002009-07-14T06:34:19.938-04:00Umm, here's my evaluation: you will never be a...Umm, here's my evaluation: you will never be able to cuddle with a bee. A bee will not fly to the front door and wag its tail when you return from work.<br /><br />You will never be able to make a custom collar for a bee. No cute dangling heart with "Clarence The Bee, I'm lost, please call my mommy at 514-980-7667" on it.<br /><br />At night when an intruder is silently breaking the cellar window, a bee will not buzz to your rescue. A bee will retreat to the hive.<br /><br />Bees have a tendency to hang out with themselves. They will never greet you as an equal. No amount of "bee-speak" will ingratiate yourself into their clan.<br /><br />But they're kinda cool, huh, all black and yellow and stingy and full of bee-gression! Where do I get one?ChefNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506706291656673082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-12819985000372550032009-07-13T22:36:45.616-04:002009-07-13T22:36:45.616-04:00I was just about to buy some dark buckwheat honey ...I was just about to buy some dark buckwheat honey at the health food store on Broadway when I stopped myself and said: "Wait a minute!

Don't think I've eaten soup with them in it though.<br />Very intersting to read about your bees.Monikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088557380015172558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-85649242913777559232009-07-13T08:20:47.011-04:002009-07-13T08:20:47.011-04:00That bee stuff is kinda scary.
