If you have a look again at my message you will see that I didn't write what you 'saw' *lol*. What I wrote (and I have copied it from the previous message and will now paste in here) was: >Yesterday I cooked up a batch of good old-fashioned chilli non carne in the >crockpot so that we can pick at it if the weather's too hot for cooking. . . . That was chilli *NON* carne. No quotation marks needed ;=) 'Non' meaning there weren't no me*t in it nohow! *lol* - and that's about as oldfashioned as I get these days. And thanks for the intro. On to that! Best, gf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I completely missed the " non " carne. It just shows how your mind will fill in things for you if you are't paying attention.

It was > all a lame attempt at humor;>). Mine does that all the time. And my own attempt at humour was seriously lame :=( No problems here - except I take the point that I gotta think of another name for the dish that *won't* be mistaken for me*t by anyone *lol* Thanks for writing ;=) Best, gf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
