Thanks for leaving a comment Tanner and for solving one piece of the puzzle of who those unnamed readers are.

As a NYC Banker I like #8 and I am guilty of not leaving a comment until now. I like reading your blog. BTW I’m from Belmont, Mass.

Yes, dumdums, but they never offer me one and if they did, I want red tootsie pops.

They still give out Tootsie Pops at your bank? All we get are dumdums. Well, and dog bones.

Have a great Thursday!

Bubble and squeak is so easy. Traditionally it’s made like a potato pancake in the frying pan with cabbage and other vegetables mixed in. But I just steam up potatoes, cabbage, and carrots till they are soft. Then I heat up my cast iron skillet with olive oil and saute in the cooled veggies, stirring them up. I have a spice salt I use that I found when I lived in Texas called Lantana that I add and that makes it even better. I like it with venison burger best. It really fills my Irish craving for a boiled dinner but is so much less of a production.

I, too, have far more readers then commenters. I used to be too shy to comment on blogs, so I guess I understand.

If you should ever care to post your recipe for Bubble and Squeak, I’d be delighted. My kids always begged me to make it after they heard of it in Wind of the Willows, but I’m ashamed to say, I never did. But it’s never too late!

#3. Teachers have this list of words to use instead of “know” on their lesson plans. A learning objective ‘to know’ is not well accepted by academic administrators. I think with ‘say’ the situation for teachers is similar with writers. It’s always nice to use other verbs.

Hi, my name is Deb and I’m a statcounter addict. I’ve got myself down to only checking a couple of times a day, but I also have a big sign up saying “You are not defined by your stats!” Comments are nice, though.

Blog comments can really make your day sometimes. And did you notice you listed “suggested” twice ( #3 )? LOL

LOL. #1 is one of the reasons I love WordPress. I feel better knowing I’m not being totally ignored even when I’m not getting any comments. Though comments are better. No arguments there.
