[DuneAHH]

Ever had a "Famous Flaming Mexican FLag"?? Once was enough for me!!
Made Note to Self: If eyebrows ever grow back ... opt for PLUCKING.

Well, I'm late as usual...
Yep, takes a week. I use good vodka. Made it with everclear once and didn't care for it. I do make kahlua every year with everclear though.
Peeling all those lemons is a pain in the butt, but it's worth it!

THX! Goin' with Vodka in my Limoncillo...'cuz Eyebrows are a GOOD thing...
makes 4 better winkin' & wagglin'

Nothing says funn like drinking a highly flammable liquid

Speaking of highly flammable, do you watch Grey's Anatomy? In one of the episodes last night, a patient on oxygen lit up a cigarette and burned off his face. One of those things they don't remind you not to do while on oxygen.

Back on thread ... Miss K., if you have never had fried zucchini flowers as an appetizer in Italia, you must. They're in season right now and divine!

Kitty.....did you join the protest and sign George's petition today?

Clooney was among some 300 townspeople who signed the petition against the planned construction in the town of Laglio on Lake Como, according to organizers.

Lake Como is a beautiful place.
My husband loves grappa but I prefer limoncello, though both should be taken in moderation--ask Danny Devito. ;-)
Miss Kitty, I am so glad you are enjoying yourself. It sounds like a wonderful trip.

I don't remember much about Lake Como. It was so romantic that we were in the hotel room a lot.;-) We have very fond memories of both of our visits there.:funn:

Si!!! I had them for lunch yesterday at the Villa d'Este. Probably the best food I have had since arriving. They were filled with ricotta and vegetables. I hope to find them on a menu again. I also had grilled wild lobster. This is probably because they give you the old fashioned menus where only Mr. Kitty saw the prices! The Villa d'Este is where the high rollers stay. Low rollers like us go for lunch! ;-)

...saw that too, Mango! When I spoke with George, I likened his situation to the woes of SoWal. ;-) We saw George's "little" spread on our way to lunch. The windows were open and someone was watering the flowers, but alas it was not GC. His loss. We also floated by Donatella Versace's place...very nice. I can only think about Maya Rudolph on SNL doing the best imitation of that bottled blonde mess!!!

:roll: ...might as well go stay in a motel in LaGrange.

Okay...went to the bar here last night and broke down and had a cocktail. Of course I ordered the Planter's Punch. It was a frothy affair...not like what I am used to. We ended up chatting with a couple from England who have visited this hotel for 40 years!!!! So, then Mr. K orders us another round! Glad I wasn't paying! The weather has been overcast with a few showers until today. Cool and clear and BELLA! We are off to see the Villa Mermy spoke of earlier, Villa Del Balbianello. I am interested in finding out why it was used for a space flick as a location...(Star Wars 2).

I ordered zucchini flowers every time I had a chance. Yum!

Low rollers -- right.

But I know what you mean. I felt pretty much like a high roller being in Monte Carlo, sunbathing topless by the pool and having salespeople bring items from my shopping list from Gucci, etc., so that I wouldn't take to waste any time in the sun while shopping. Then I looked out into the harbor and saw the huge private yachts lowering their smaller boats into the water to ferry their Rolls Royces to the dock. That put me in my place.

No problem -- I thank God for all of my blessings.
