Thanks kic53 that sure brings back a flood of memories. We stayed 4 days in paris, and when ever we were heading back to the Louvre hotel we would stop at this little side walk cafe and id have a carlsberg beer and the wife would have a frozen strawberry daquri. We would munch on peanuts watching the Parisians go about their business. That was a trip that we will never forget. ![]() Old James |

Thanks kic53 that sure brings back a flood of memories. My pleasure James. I can only imagine how wonderful Paris is. I've always wanted to go, but, alas, when vacation time would come, I was always uncontrolably drawn to sun, sand and surf. All my travels were to points in this hemisphere(western). I'm glad you enjoyed the beer. My best, K.C. ... BETTER THE WORLD ~ PAY IT FORWARD ... |

Thanks kic53 that sure brings back a flood of memories. Well paris is a nice place to visit KLC. Unfortunatley not for germans. I was in paris with my wife before we married 30 years ago. Its very expensive specially for germans. My brothers life partner is french and her parents lives 20 miles from paris. He wants to have a beer a few years ago, he should pay €12 for one beer. He asked the bar lady why that much the card say €4.50. The lady replied we have special prices for germans. My brothers girlfriend told the lady how ashamed she is for her country. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Hei klc53 ;-) And happy Sunday! ;-) Everything is well with me and the boys. Right now waiting for some Risotto for the sunday evening.. it smells good. ;-) Yes Mike, I read what you say.. And its very sad such things still happens. We should all have moved on now.. As a hostess I have also had german visitors, and I have heard these kind of stories before. France is not the only country this happens in. ..the attitude, I mean. All we really can do is to make sure we all teach our kids that each human being is a New human being. Not a clone of anyone else - from the same country, or with the same last name for that sake... We do not contain other peoples brains or personality. And we should assume people we meet is good people... In that way they mostly shows to be so. ;-) Mmmhh.. Im hungry.. I have to run.. here`s to all of you; ![]() ![]() |

Hello Miss Moon and all the denizens that live and lurk here. More often than not, I do not understand the world and it's state of disorder. Why make the German people of today atone for a madman and a group of lunatics that lived over 60 years ago? Das ist falsch! ... BETTER THE WORLD ~ PAY IT FORWARD ... |

Hello Miss Moon and all the denizens that live and lurk here. Thanks for this. The funny thing is we was in a hotel 30 years ago. I asked the man at reception do you speak german? He said no. English? A little So we got a room for one night. Next morning the same guy was talking german on the table next to us. I think he knew the guy from the war he was the same age. Funny not? I love to be german but have nothing to do with that shit. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Hello every one. Welcome Owe. I must say that when the wife and went to Paris in 2002 we had no problems at all. I was suprised that the French were very friendly. I mean we hear the storys all the time about the french being rude. In our case it was just a few cab drivers that were. And heck i have had rude cabbies here in the states too. Must be they teach that in cabbie school:) Id go back in a minute if we could afford it. Back then the dollar was worth 98 cents to the euro. ![]() Old James |

Hei to Richard, James, and all the rest of you who visits here.. ;-) Yeah.. as most of you should have noticed by now, the spring has come. And by that all these birds putting the strange-shaped thingies around on the ground, or in the threes, or in where ever they can make it. Its said to be called eggs. But my thought of eggs, as eatable stuff, is white on the outside. ;p My parents tried to get me to eat other coloured eggs when i was a kid.. but i was not too fond of their ideas. ;-)) So mostly, if we had collected eggs (aye, of course, I loved to collect them..hehehe) my mum used them for pancakes and other cakes. The bakings get such a wonderful yellow colour when used this other ingredience. ;p Well.. mostly it was seagull eggs that was used. For many years now I have let the seagulls have their eggs for themselves. And why not, as I didnt like those eggs anyhow. But what do you think has happend the last years? Aye... i have two boys.. They have for some or another reason got this fancy to collect eggs. hehehe. They have "heard" they are eatable.. but they dont want to eat them. So they give them to me. Im trying to tell them that I do not like to eat them either.. lol.. and they have heard it more than once. The other day my oldest son came back home with two eggs. I said; wow.. what are you planning to use them for? Are you going to bake? ;-)) Nope, he said, I dont know what to do about them. hehe. I told him that maybe his grandmother would like them. But she is not home right now, so if so, he would have to put them in the fridge and wait, and hope there wouldnt come any seagulls in there. So yesterday he came back home from school and then he asked me; Mum, have you been checking today? Checking What, I said. - If we have gotten any bird-kiddies in our fridge. ;-D All i said was that, If there are bird-kiddies in the fridge, its surely not cold enough in there. ;-)) Well... this was just a tiny little everyday-story from the Moon`s Island. Have a great day! ;-D ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Great story. Do they really taste all that different? I had chickens that laid colored eggs, Araucanas, and Ameraucanas. They lay blues, greens and even pink eggs. However, they taste pretty normal. Having raised chickens I know that the yoke is a stronger yellow when the egg is fresh. Most eggs you buy in stores have a weaker yoke simple because the egg is several days old. Let see, I have had duck, emu and ostrich eggs, but never tried sea gull eggs. I understand the aversion but you might try one after it’s been in the fridge for four or five days. The taste might be different. ![]() |

Hello you nice people ;-) Im glad you liked my story.. :p That probably means I can tell you another one. lol Mmmhh.. well, seagull eggs have a much stronger taste than normal chicken eggs.. its because of the food, as is mostly fish.. Also meat from sea-birds that has been used for food for humans has this strong taste.. You know cod-liver-oil? That doesnt taste much good, does it? And sea-birds taste a bit like that, if not the meat has been prepaired in a special way to get rid of most of that liver-oil taste. So.. also seagull eggs has a bit -if only a little bit- taste of this. But of course, used in food, or cakes and so, you cant tell. Also the yoke is almost orange, instead of yellow. So cakes gets the colour as if you had used safran in it. ;-) Carlos - is it your chicken on the photo? ;-) We had chicken too for a while. Other stories goes with them... but they also made some very light brown eggs, as tasted just as the white ones ;-) but ive never seen blue or green, i think I would have liked the blue eggs... Dreamer.. hehe.. the story tells something about me? ;-) well.. it tells i dont like to eat seagull eggs.. but what else? ;-) Nothing in the fridge so far... I hope it doesnt happen either.. I honestly dont know what i should do about them if they came rolling out of there, screaming for food and thought I was their mother.. ;p huh.. ;-)) Well... klc53, the eggs are still there, along with some more of them. My son were out collecting again this afternoon, as he had spoken to his gandma on phone.. and she told him she wanted 20. hehe. I am Not going to ask her what she is thinking about.. Im not going to say a word. Lol. James.. I hope you sleep well, and dont dream about seagull-kiddies in the fridge ;-) ![]() |
