Now the American version of that up until the late 1960's in some places was called "Chopping Cotton". I spent one summer when I was 16 doing that on my Uncles farm in Dyess, Ark. Those bags weigh 250 to 300 lbs by the time you hit the end of the row. Try that in 70% humidity and 90 degrees F. Now that's a workout. :D .g "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

I had a lawn to mow: That's a tool to cut Golf Greens. Not the grass I'm used too that looks about the same in the pic before:) If I'm remember right the grass on a Green is growing sideways not upwards. Let scientist make some genetic manipulated grass and the problem is solved. |

I had a lawn to mow: The pic you showed looks more like Wheat, a farm crop, than a lawn around someones house, not everyone has a lawn, some have opted out of having one, as they can be expensive to maintain, both for the pocket book and in storm runoff from fertilizers on the grass or in the soil.

That's a tool to cut Golf Greens. That pic is a from a farm crop in Germany harvesting wheat or something. But the "lawn" I had to cut looked the same. And it's big. No kidding. Most of the time I had to use a scythe as in the pic before I could use any modern tools. |

Back to topic: Any good recipes for cooking with grass? Well, wheat is a kind of grass "created" by humans some thousands years ago. There are lot of Pasta recipies Beer is made of Barley. I had sausages "Isterband" where barley is one of the ingrediants yesterday. Rye mostly used for bread but I think also used to make Bourbon. There are also buckwheat not from the family grass but used both in porridge and blinis together with Smetana, chopped onions and red caviar. Geez. Getting hungry:) btw. Where are the Girls? |

I have not tasted buckwheat bread nor buckwheat porridge that is standard breakfast in the Ukrainian Army. However blini БЛИÐЫ pancakes is VERY good. Here is how it's done:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTDgWQxyois |

Today I'm not doing any cooking. Nah, maybe a sandwich or two, though I could plop something into the Microwave oven, in 9-10 mins I'd have a hot meal, though right now I just don't feel like it, I think I'll go have a turkey bologna sandwich now.

According to a translator that I used, that Russian word means: БЛИÐЫ = crepe, pancake, flapjack, slapjack. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Yuck Grant. That I will never touch, no matter how hungry I might be nor will I try froglegs. I eat a lot of wild things, when I can find them. I had bear once, that needs a good soking in milk or it tastes to gamy, but if I never come across it again, I won't miss it. I also like Venison and Veal. Am I a hypocrite? Probably.

According to a translator that I used, that Russian word means: That's right. Quite simple really:) You can do the dish with small wheat pancakes as well. Also delicious. |

Yuck Grant. That I will never touch, no matter how hungry I might be nor will I try froglegs. Speaking of wild game. Do you recognize this? Many germans comes to us to hunt moose. They also bring back this warning sign as a souvenir. Some even steel them despite they are for sale. |

Yuck Grant. That I will never touch, no matter how hungry I might be nor will I try froglegs. I have this problem. A week and a half ago. One ran across the road in front of my car. I almost had a had a collision. |

Yes. There are lot of accidents on the roads. Especially at dusk and dawn. A collegue to me hit a moose at high speed and got himself a cabriolet instead. And last spring a moose ran through the town and on a parking lot near me:) And lots of domestic reindeer rooming in the northern part of Sweden. When you wound or kill one you are supposed to cut one of its ear off and leave it to the owner so he can get compensation. |

Yuck Grant. That I will never touch, no matter how hungry I might be nor will I try froglegs. I was just trying to make them, I try many kinds of bread, some turn out good and others a total flopppppp. :( Elk is also a good meat but I haven't had bear, bull frogs legs I like but only had them very very rarely. I think it's been about 25 years ago now. :)) Cheers everybody Life is short so don't sip Beer speaks, people mumble |
