Chicken broth, a few slices of lemon, thyme and rice.

Sounds great. I'm sure it will be delicious. The rice was what I was wondering about as I saw texture but was not sure what it was. Bon Appetit !

Sounds delicious.

I remember the first time I heard The Mindbenders, Groovy Kind of Love.  I had just broken up with my first serious boyfriend.  We dated 6 months and I was devastated.  That song destroyed me every time I heard it. It was a reminder of what I had and lost.  To this day, a lifetime later, even with a wonderful husband and a life I would never change, I'm transported back in time when I hear it.  Phil Collins did a great job on his version, but for me, that song will always belong to The Mindbenders.

 

Something about this thread makes me comfortable enough to share life's experiences in here.  I could never do that on a tipping, or chair hog thread.  I have Dani to, again, thank.

That’s the thing about music, how one song can totally transport you to a specific place & time in your life.  
Also agree with you about the comfort level on this thread.

Happy Birthday tomorrow!

Here’s what we did for fun today, installing pool fence.  A little frustrating that DH refuses to pay someone to do work he can do himself, but I don’t mind the $$ savings.  We finished one entire  side today along with the safety gate.

That looks delicious!  I’m curious, what’s the rice/liquid ratio and what type of rice?

I appreciate that. The theory of it is easy, but doing it is another reality.  I’m sure a few choice words might have escaped as well during the day.  
 

The pavers look great.  They actually look like ours, or darn close to it.

I "own" the same "specimen", and I'm not frustrated one tiny bit -- on the contrary, not only saving $$, but being sure about the quality of the work done...😉

He had it well planned out and only hit a few snags - a/k/a rocks & tree roots.  Which naturally resulted in said choice words LOL.  The pavers are Unilock, actually manufactured in Uxbridge Mass about 45 minutes from us.  They put polymeric sand type material between, wet it and allowed to dry for 12 hours.

I personally love a diverse  range of music.

Soul,gospel,Motown, country,disco, classical as well as modern pop.

Graham.

Me too.  my tastes range from Tom Jones and Michael Buble to AC/DC and Greenday and just about everything in between.  My secret sin is Abba.  Most people who knew me wouldn't believe it but I had a secret crush on Anni-Frid all through my teen years.

Amazing.

And if he passed with his full faculties and relatively good health, like Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, then hats down all the way [and he still had another 18 years, according to Hebrew custom wishes 😁].
