I just LOVE stuffed marrow.  I have a great recipe for a cheese and nut stuffed marrow served with tomato sauce.  Yum yum!

This is bizarre!   Never in my life have I met or spoken with anyone who ever professed to loving marrow, and yet, here are three in one ethernet space  :Crazy:  And there was us - all those marrows, and no-one would eat them.....  :rofl:

I have to put my hands up and confess I love marrow!  :hungey: I could eat a whole meal of nothing but marrow with a little freshly grated pepper sprinkled on it.  :gimme: :blow kiss:

Does that make me a weirdo?  :ooops:

(okay - well Marra might be Geordie for "friend", but I is allowed some poetic licence, and I'm sure this old chap meant it in the best posisble taste - give what you can should be our watchword......  )

Ps - when I was a kid and we had "Harvest festival" collections, everyone used to end up donating a vegetable marrow - everyone grew them, no-one ate them.......   :sick:  I suspect the same marrow did the rounds year after year.................     :rofl:

Must admit this man is in his 80`s and I really thought it was very sweet of him. Most folk dont even say thank you.

Ahhh I think that's really sweet bless him.  It might just be a courgette to us .. but he will have probably put plenty of love and attention into it and as they say .. it's the thought that counts.

Now as to what to do with it ... ummm ... I don't think I can on a public forum  ;)  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

 :Crazy: Tight fisted old git  :evillaugh:

I passed the School charity parking on Saturday so went into the school to say hello to the fundraisers. I asked if people were generous and she said most are. At that moment, I man came past after parking his car and asked it 90p was enough  >:(

It is the first car park in town. Also has the advantage of having security guards (CP ladies) also the pay & displays charge 90p an hour - I hate tight wads  >:(

We have been doing a feral trapping and have now hopefully one last female to trap, the man said he was really impressed with us and would like to give us a very special donation, he walked up the garden looked at his plants and returned with................

A Courgette  :rofl: now what on earth do I do with it,technically it belongs to the cats and I dont like them anyway. Do you think the vet would accept it towards the bill? or maybe we could attempt to bank it  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
