    As an aside, I should also like to essay this Welsh SM, and I shall investigate the availability of the more pedestrian iterations (for which you may read "more affordable"). Again, I shall report.

    I love a good single-malt whiskey but £275.00 ($428.00) is a little rich for my blood. In fact, John's home-made pruno is better fitted to my current financial situation.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I'm not much of an appreciative drinker. What I mean is if I do drink alcohol I drink it more for its effect than flavour. So in that sense alcohol is to me more a drug than a beverage. That said if I do drink for flavour my preference is for American whiskey's, bourbons, etc. For a long time I hated the taste of whiskey because all I ever tasted was scotch. Then one day I was at a restaurant and I ordered a glass of 101 proof Wild Turkey. I was expecting the worst and I was remarkably surprised and pleased. It had a really nice flavour that I could enjoy. Much nicer than any scotch I ever tried. I have since tried several different American whiskey's and the experiences have mostly been good. Even some very strong whiskey's that were very strong in alcohol content, yet rich, pleasant tasting, and smooth.

    Now don;t get me wrong. I am sure there are some excellent scotch whiskey's out there. And I am not trying to say and one is better than another. It;s really a matter of preference. However, based on what I have tasted I tend to favour the American whiskey's,

    Turnips are OK in the crock pot, but lately I have been putting sweet potatoes and leeks in with the broccoli and Brussels sprouts instead of potatoes and carrots.

    Very good.

    That does sound good. First time I've heard of sweet potatoes and leeks together.

    Oh...I take that back; just noticed "Brussels sprouts." YUCK!!!!!

    Broccoli is too tender for the crock pot. Try substituting parsnips to go along with the yams, leeks and b. sprouts. Prepare a side green to serve with the meal.

    I don't know. Why don't you ask one, there are several around here.
