I take this opportunity to requote my immortal ode to that photo:
Pelle drives a Ferguson;
a Ferguson, a Ferguson.
Pelle drives a Ferguson;
a Massey, Massey Ferguson. 3536. robertjayb - 1/22/2006 7:48:26 PM Fourth from the left in the middle row, directly in front of the tall person with lots of hair. 3537. wonkers2 - 1/22/2006 8:03:13 PM w2 agrees with rjb. But w2 prefers International Harvester or John Deere tractors. Nothing runs like a Deere!! 3538. jexster - 1/22/2006 8:57:49 PM Speakeasy Restaurants in Bay Area
Speakeasy restaurants with chic cuisine and rock-bottom prices are springing up around the Bay Area right in people's homes -- such as this one in Oakland's Rockridge district that is preparing lamb chops over fennel-cornbread stuffing and browned brussels sprouts. Getting in is all about who you know (and who they know.)
Underground Gourmet 3539. PelleNilsson - 1/22/2006 9:10:52 PM You are right, of course.
The small Ferguson tractor was exactly what was needed when the large-scale mechanisation of farming started here after WWII. The village smiths were busy refitting horse-pulled contraptions for tractor-pulling. The only big investment needed, apart from the tractor itself, was a plow, usually with two blades, which together with the higher speed and inexhaustible stamina of the tractor meant a massive productivity increase. 3540.

This must be from about 1950. The poor girl I'm martyring is now a drama actress of some repute here in Quebec. 3541. wonkers2 - 1/23/2006 4:56:55 PM Back row right or center of middle row? 3542. thoughtful - 1/23/2006 8:11:32 PM Interesting to note the boy/girl segregation in pelle's class picture 3543. ronski - 1/23/2006 11:21:27 PM We went skiin' yesterday. This is at Belleayre, in the Catskills.
 3544. judithathome - 1/23/2006 11:38:02 PM Marc-Albert, when I looked at that picture, I said to myself "I hope he's the one torturing that kid in front!" and was thrilled when I read the caption under it to see I was right!
Good looking kids in that picture! 3545. robertjayb - 1/23/2006 11:42:11 PM What news of your son, judith? 3546. Magoseph - 1/24/2006 12:15:14 AM Check here, Robert: Message # 18316 in thread 142 3547. judithathome - 1/24/2006 12:16:01 AM Nothing til tomorrow when he goes for more tests...thanks for asking.
I still feel if it had been "dire", they would have sent him straight to the hospital. 3548. arkymalarky - 1/24/2006 1:36:51 AM What a set of whitewalls you have there, M-A. 3549. Marc-Albert - 1/24/2006 2:08:51 AM LOL. You're very observant.
 3550. Marc-Albert - 1/24/2006 2:10:21 AM Judith, we all hope for the best. 3551. Macnas - 1/24/2006 12:16:44 PM Last night, pheasant stuffed with sage, onion, some garlic, wensleydale & cranberry cheese. Topped off with some bacon rashers.
I'm still stuffed. 3552. Magoseph - 1/24/2006 2:52:42 PM I’m curious about where the pheasant came from and whether or not you had a local wine with this scrumptious meal, Mac.
3553. PelleNilsson - 1/24/2006 2:58:56 PM I'm quite sure that Macnas shot it over the weekend. Local wine? You mean Irish wine? Maybe it exists, but I doubt it. Not enough sun on that rain-drenched island.
I've only had pheasant twice and both times I found the meat dry and disappointing. Comments, Macnas? 3554. wonkers2 - 1/24/2006 5:50:46 PM Pheasant can be dry if not prepared properly. We've had it the past two Christmases and it was not dry. My wife and oldest son researched pheasant preparation at some length and spent a lot of time preparing and cooking the birds. I didn't pay enough attention to attempt to explain how they did it. Turkey can also be dry if overcooked.
