So they can gallop all around if they want to.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-31343482048796742922008-06-15T09:19:00.000-04:002008-06-15T09:19:00.000-04:00Well of course, with French bread it has to be eat...Well of course, with French bread it has to be eaten straight from the baker's first thing in the morning. It is still not bad at lunchtime but by the end of the day it isn't so good. By the second day the only thing to do with it is dunk it in your coffee.<BR/><BR/>I don't think it matters if the horses can't see, all they do is eat grass basically. Although I suppose they can't gallop around the field as you sometimes see. Maybe they are see through.<BR/><BR/>I hadn't heard JA was making another film at the time, I guess that would explain it.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-17764101656005118852008-06-15T01:39:00.000-04:002008-06-15T01:39:00.000-04:00I think part of the reason Hepburn was chosen is b...I think part of the reason Hepburn was chosen is because Julie Andrews (who did the stage show) was filming something else at the time.<BR/><BR/>We drove through Ontario on the way from Niagara to Michigan a few years ago. Beautiful country. :)<BR/><BR/>For some reason I've never really gone a bundle on French bread ... but I do love French butter.hrugaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621922879300266376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-53825135273965815012008-06-14T17:28:00.000-04:002008-06-14T17:28:00.000-04:00Jo, it seems you are hung up on asparagus lately, ...Jo, it seems you are hung up on asparagus lately, whether it is tired and in bed or not.<BR/><BR/>I also wondered why they had picked an American actress to play that role in the movie. Now, if it was Johnny Depp for any role requiring an accent such as pirates and sweeny todd, I would not question it. <BR/><BR/>However are the horses supposed to see out of those things on their eyes, poor things.Silly Yak Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415211565416274265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-41994020901980701532008-06-14T13:31:00.000-04:002008-06-14T13:31:00.000-04:00I was just re-reading the Asparagus in Bed recipe ...I was just re-reading the Asparagus in Bed recipe and remembering the unsalted butter made me think, once again, of French butter. I wish I could get hold of it. The taste is like nothing else in this world. Probably just as well, I might pig out on it. I just had a vision of lunch with a good potage, crusty bread and French butter. Oooooh, heaven. Yes I know the French don't often eat butter like we Brits do. They could never understand us ordering it.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-12091294141926070532008-06-14T13:18:00.000-04:002008-06-14T13:18:00.000-04:00Its not that complicated Marilyn, pretend you are ...Its not that complicated Marilyn, pretend you are a Frenchwoman.
