I am still glad, despite all the protests, that they were able to get the funds to restore the cathedral and I hope the mobs don't set another fire to the church as mobs are mobs even if it starts from good intentions. This does show that people could be helped and so could animals if the millionaires and Billionaires opened up their walletsBirgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-55606798854060232432019-04-22T15:47:59.859-04:002019-04-22T15:47:59.859-04:00Yes, I guess it does Lisa.

Maybe this year I should try roasting again. Maybe.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-41613004227410506982019-04-22T14:42:57.368-04:002019-04-22T14:42:57.368-04:00Your argument about serving those in need still ap...Your argument about serving those in need still applies, IMO Jo. It was almost embarrassing to see how fast folks stepped up to pay for Notre Dame, when there are so many in need in this world. Be that as it may... I also (I know! I'm sorry!) love asparagus grilled, or steamed or pickled. Almost any way it is cooked I love. Glad you had a good day for Easter, and thank you for the card!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658507579160418855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-75901911959502146882019-04-22T08:27:37.649-04:002019-04-22T08:27:37.649-04:00Interesting Denise, I suppose, like so many, I jus...Interesting Denise, I suppose, like so many, I just assumed it was a Catholic property. <br /><br />Maybe I should get you to roast me some asparagus.

Regardless, to me it is a beautiful structure and architectural wonder and does not need a specific religion to make it worthy.<br />And the roasted asparagus was delicious. One website talked about the health benefits of roasting it since it increases the antioxidants in it.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-43064019061816705822019-04-22T03:28:23.110-04:002019-04-22T03:28:23.110-04:00Hi Jo - the lobster looks delicious, but actually ...Hi Jo - the lobster looks delicious, but actually I'd rather have the peas, though I'd cook mine briefly and then once cooled off mix in the other ingredients.<br /><br />Good to see you posting in full again - and lovely to read you enjoyed your day with LadyDog ... cheers and all the best - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
