The berry tree in the corner of my yard had fruited!
LOL, For years I have picked the berries off the tree and eaten them , but have no idea as to what they are.
Tomorrow I will post a detailed description of what the tree and fruit look like so someone can tell me what they are!
In the mean time, I got pancakes, waffles, bacon and some sausage going-Coffee and Kahlua/Bailey's anyone?:D
Sounds good to me, barkeep!
How about using some of the berries to make some compote for the pancakes?
Or I can just supply some nice fresh maple syrup (The syrup is even Lady approved!)

Mom would never let us eat the mulberries that grew around where we grew up. She said they were wormy ~ :D
I've been lurking here for some time. Is this bar for real?? Can we really get drinks and food served?? Who is this RICHARD guy and is he really a bartender?? :confused: If so, can I have a shot of Bourbon please?
:D Sure the bar is for real.. We have fun here on Thursdays.. Richard is a good bartender.. Just look at how fast he is with serving..Quote:

I'll have one of those mulberry whatevers as long as it's COLD! :cool:
Barkeep - could you watch out for the really fancy cake that will be delivered today for LH's birthday?
Yeah, the one will all of those candles on it. Get out the fire extinguisher just in case.
KlamJuz - nice of you to drop by here - why don't you sign up - the fee is one (clean) joke.
Richard, KlamJuz has requested a shot of bourbon. Can we serve before the joke or only afterwards?
Those mulberries remind me of blackberries...wonder if the two plants are related?
No, mulberries grow on a tree, and there are no thorns. Blackberries are more closely related to raspberries.Quote:

No, it does not contain coffee. It's a traditional Swedish thing, served WITH coffee. (Like any traditional Swede thing isn't served with coffee?)
I'd guess one is normally enough to serve about a dozen people, or my two brothers!
Add to the coffee ring a chocolate cake with chocolate/caramel icing, brew up a pot of coffee, get plenty of Irish at the bar, and it's all good!
(Even if I am typing this from work):p
To correct you - it's in Ring Around the Rosie that "they all fall down,"Quote:

For real? Anyone can sign up to join the Thursday Group for one joke? Do I need to wait until Thursday?Quote:

MOFF, I bet this is what you were thinking about........it sure sounded familiar to me too!!
Gosh, I had forgotten about that one, Gini. I was thinking of the one with the monkey and the weasel. The Pop goes the weasel one that Karen showed. I just put the monkey and the weasel playing ring around the rosie. (I think... sometimes) ;):DQuote:

Okay - one clean joke. It might not be P.C., and, like me, it's older than dirt.
Quote:
A plane is on its way to Detroit when a blonde woman in economy class gets up and moves into an open seat in the first class section.
The flight attendant watches her do this, and politely informs the woman that she must sit in economy class because that's the type of ticket she paid for.
The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Detroit and I'm staying right here."
After repeated attempts and no success at convincing the woman to move, the flight attendant goes into the cockpit and informs the pilot and co-piolet that there's a blonde bimbo sitting in first class who refuses to go back to her proper seat. The co-pilot goes back to the woman and explains why she needs to move, but once again the woman replies by saying, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Detroit and I'm staying right here."
The co-pilot returns to the cockpit and suggests that perhaps they should have the arrival gate call the police and have the woman arrested when they land. The pilot says, "You say she's blonde? I'll handle this. I'm married to a blonde. I speak blonde." He goes back to the woman and whispers quietly in her ear, and she says, "Oh, I'm sorry," then quickly moves back to her seat in economy class.
The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed and ask him what he said to get her to move back to economy without causing any fuss.
"I told her first class isn't going to Detroit."
That'll do!Quote:
