    PARROTS!

    Yes, well... back in THOSE days not so rare and not so pricy. ;)

    And it's amazing! I'm sure his whole life was spent NOT getting all the detailed care as they say they need today and he lived to be 80 or more!

    Go figure.

    PARROTS!

    Back in the day… someone gave my grandparents a Hyacinth Macaw as a wedding gift. :blink:

    It outlived BOTH of them and no one in the family would take him since he had gotten a mite cranky in his old age so (of course) I didn’t want to see Tiki put down and I took him home. (My dog never forgave me) :ph34r:

    I had him several more years before he *expired* at the ripe old age of around 80 or so. SMART bird though and very loving in his off moments. I just don’t think he could ever understand what happened to his family. He was with them over 70 yrs and then they were both gone. :ph34r:

    Kinda sad. If I can find an old picture I’ll post it. He was stunning in his day!

    The scoop is..I was very quiet. I loved school, came home cleaned house then stayed in my room where my drafting table, books and TV was. I shared a room with Brennan's mom who is also my sister. When we were grounded for doing something bad then everyone had to stay home but me. Since I liked to hide in my room I had to go out and do things. And yes that is true...Im a very tame person.

    :rolleyes:

    Okay, maybe I buy the *His mom is my sister* part....

    Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.

    If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.

    If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.

    If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.

    If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.

    She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

    So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit!

    And Brother... don't you KNOW IT! :unsure:

    By Lori Corbin

    LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Bacon. You can almost smell it. And while we know it's a great breakfast food, using it in dessert is the latest L.A. trend.

    "My mom's favorite sandwich was peanut butter and bacon and so I'm the type of person who dips bacon in everything," said Brooke Mosley, chef of Viceroy Hotel's Whist restaurant.

    Five different chefs at five different restaurants all have the same thought on pigging out.

    "Bacon adds a little smoky savory to your desserts you know and I think smoky and sweet blends really nicely with a little salt," said Debbie Lee of GyEnari.

    Lee developed a spicy chocolate creme brulee with bacon shortbread, while Mosley created the Elvis cupcake.

    "It's a banana cupcake; it's filled with banana curd, peanut butter frosting, and I made the peanut butter myself, and candy bacon sprinkles," described Mosley.

    "Peanut butter and bacon, that is fun and playful, it made me feel like a kid again," said Stacey Quackenbush, a taster.

    Downtown at the Nickel Diner, chef Sharlena Fong makes glazed donuts rolled in bacon for the morning coffee crowd and on weekends they give away the donut holes for free.

    Over at Animal on Fairfax, chef and owner Jon Shook explains their signature bacon chocolate crunch bar with layers of hazelnut, dark chocolate, peanut ganache, chocolate mousse and a torched top layer of bacon.

    While Sona's Ramon Perez created caramelized white chocolate with a coffee sheet, bacon powder, bacon vinaigrette and a coffee soil topped with foie gras ice cream. Who knew bacon could be so sophisticated?

    Apparently, this trend started back in 2005 when a gastronomist from the U.K. whipped up some bacon and egg ice cream. Now, chefs and confectioners alike think it is a positive point to put pork in pastry.

    "It's about blending different textures, different flavors and having everything melt together, sort of work in harmony," said Lee.

    The trend is an apparent hit with diners.

    "You think in theory, it doesn't sound good, but in practice when you know you like all these different ingredients and then you put them all together, it's just, you know, a gastronomic delight," said diner Irving Simons.
