I like a mix of butter, tarragon, garlic, parsley and lemon juice. Especially good on chicken or fish but also veggies.

Nancy, I wouldn't use just the r/vinegar to marinade anything as it is fairly strong on it's own but as an extra flavour in a mix, absolutely as the vinegar would act as a tenderiser as it's an acid. Lemon juice works the same way in fact, if you have a thin piece of fish and you just squeeze fresh lemon over the raw fish it will actually cook in the lemon juice......that's what the acid does.

Gee go away for a few seconds and there is a lot of chat.
Chrissy we had a 'safe' where the meat was kept and there was an icebox. Jellies were set in the bath if there were a lot do do. And we didn't get many upset tummys as children.

Sage goes very well with chicken. Nancy, I just remebered, I've also done a lavender flower and butter. I've use it on fresh English scones or small sponge rounds......it's delicious!

Fresh Dill goes very well if you are making turkey burgers.
I also buy fresh thyme and dry it myself.
Thanks for having me. No I'm not going to bed but want to watch some TV.
GOOD NIGHT ALL♥

No Alyson we didn't either but if you think about all the hoo ha about germs etc now, there would be a lot of illness due to the fact that people are actually weekening their systems by killing off all bacteria and not giving their system a chance to build an immunity. I though the old icebox a great thing as my gran always seemed to pull magical tasting food from it......lol

We spent over a year on the family homestead when I was 5, 6. No electricity, running water or available ice. Food was kept cool in a tin lined box between the windmill and the cattle troth. cold water was piped through it. One really hot day I got in a lot of trouble for takig all the food out and climbing in to cool off.

Oh crissy i can so relate to that type of floor trying to find somthing small. and you can't give up. 1 the dog can eat and 2 the money. If it were a patient i'd throw it away for myself though sounds bad , but i'd give it a good wipe

Well thats quite a spread chrissy interesting

Shiela, I stand right over the bench now so the little devil can't go anywhere any more. If it wasn't keeping me alive I'd throw it myself and so far it's doing it's job so I'd best keep swallowing it.

Shiela, I like all forms of music.....even my grandson's I think it's called mystic metal. I have the reptation of being a cool gran from his friends.....that makes me laugh. I keep telling him that as lone as what I'm listening to has light and shade, has a melody and tells a story of its own I will listen to it. I have taught him well as he, at fifteen, also has a wide appreciation for all music. He particularly likes the swing from the forties and the big bands.

I was in HS from 64-68 think about motown during that time. they ruled opposite the beatles and the rest of the English-------whose the skinny guy? LOL
