Thanks to the cute Xmas elf, Darrell, my computer has gone from 512 MB of RAM to 2.5 GB of RAM. It makes me a very happy girl. It also makes my computer much less grumbly.
Also, I learned this morning that what I have called "poke salad" all my life is actually "poke salet." Go figure. Add that to my list of words I've mispronounced all my life... ha! I'll probably stil be figuring out this thing called English when I'm 70.Labels: general

Post a CommentHow funny! "Poke salad" was a phrase in a book I just finished reading, and I had no idea what in the heck it was.

Yeah, I know. I need a dictionary.

Nice. I'm not certain, but I *think* it grows in West Virginia. Though I'm not fond of it, I haven't tried it since I was a kid. I hear it's great scrambled with eggs. (Just don't eat the berries... they're poisonous.)

It also grows under our air conditioner - just so you know.

Sweet. So, Christa can come over and poke our air-conditioner-grown poke salet!

Haha! The book I was reading was a memoir about a woman who grew up in W.V., and that's where the "poke salad" thing came into play.
