COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

I over winter Elsa just as you do Tidgy, Adam. This morning's breakfast was a nice handful of sow thistle, Mazuri with pureed pumpkin and opuntia chips in it, cucumber and a late season hibiscus blossom! Elsa SPECIFICALLY like the RED hibiscus: NOT orange, NOT yellow and NOT purple, thank you very much!!! Only the RED!!!!! Now it looks like I have TWO picky eaters!!!!!

You are looking gorgeous, Elsa.
Today, Tidgy ate some pellets, some of her opuntia, lettuce, some chicory and turnip greens.
Plus a tiny bit of sprout!

Sprouts are no good ...

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Sprouts are no good ...

They are fine in moderation as part of a mixed diet.
See http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/site/plants_19.asp?st=true&mode=main&catID=681
and http://www.chelonia.org/Articles/nutrientanalysis.htm , particularly the paragraph on Goitrogenic Compounds.

Tidgy also asleep, of course, but she's just the same.

Since my pumpkin scones have been so well received, I'm now looking up Orange Cardamom Scone recipes!!! Hubby loves cardamom! I understand cardamom Christmas cookies are popular in Germany, is that correct cclBee?
And I'm guessing it's pretty common in Morocco, Adam?

 

[Moozillion]

I may be signing off shortly to continue my recipe search!
But will pop in again before turning in for the night!

Yes, but usually used her for desserts and especially with meat dishes.
wifey always has it in stock.

If not, good night, Bea and sleep well.

I don`t know. I never eat Christmas cookies with Cardomom.

Hi Adam and Bea, I say good night to you. It was nice to talk with you but ....
It`s 4:15 and I have to go to sleep.
Hope we soon read us again.
Good night.

Sleep well, Bee, I won't be much longer, myself.
Have a good night and hopefully chat again tomorrow.

Good night, cclBee!

Good night, Adam! Dream sweet dreams of echinoderms!

Now that's more like it!
Especially stem group echinoderms!
I hope so.
And sweet dreams of parcel opening to you, Bea.

Oh, I never thought about making scones? Is it hard?

Evening, Kathy, think you just missed Bea.
If English scones are the same thing as American scones; it's easy, even I do it!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Night, night Roommates!
And we wake up to it being only a week to Christmas!

 

[Moozillion]

Not hard at all! Very similar to making biscuits from scratch.
