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

And there was us - all those marrows, and no-one would eat them.....

Yes

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #23 on:** August 27, 2008, 22:04:35 PM »

I have to put my hands up and confess I love marrow!

I could eat a whole meal of nothing but marrow with a little freshly grated pepper sprinkled on it.

Does that make me a weirdo?

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #22 on:** August 27, 2008, 21:45:24 PM »

No really I do like it ... well I like it the way my mum does it.

I was brought up in Leicestershire (although I was born in Yorkshire - Beverley, Hull).

Aww, it is the thought that counts, bless him.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #20 on:** August 27, 2008, 21:40:54 PM »

Sam - you don't!

I've never knowed anyone who actually eats the bloomin things! Did you grow up in the north Tyneside area? Did they make you eat them? I bet they did. I bet you gagged and struggled, but they told you they was good for you....?

You poor lady........

I sends help. You hold on. Okay?

Stay there......

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #19 on:** August 27, 2008, 21:38:33 PM »

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #18 on:** August 27, 2008, 21:31:13 PM »

I know.

We'd all have an armful of marrows...... (what the *bleep*

You know, that should be everyones watchword, Sue... if only it was.

Is trooooo, is not der p's
but is der marra
der one fer me...................

(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.......

I suspect the same marrow did the rounds year after year.................

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.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #14 on:** August 27, 2008, 19:04:02 PM »

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

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #13 on:** August 27, 2008, 18:56:50 PM »

I'm lucky like that living in a more rural location. I've had tomotoes, asparagus and some lovely fresh free ranges eggs as thank you pressies for my work with CP. You should come over here, Teresa! We could make the mother of all omelettes!

Tight fisted old git

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

Ela · « **Reply #11 on:** August 27, 2008, 18:17:28 PM »

And to think we though we were hard done by when someone gave is about 32p or was it 37p for 2 cats.

Make sure you declare it on your tax return. Such largesse

I suppose he meant well...

Dawn F · « **Reply #5 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:51:35 PM »

they are small but its a shame to waste it when you can't even gift aid it!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #4 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:50:39 PM »

A courgette, as in one courgette

I dont like them but arent they small, so you would need a few courgettes for a meal?

Dawn F · « **Reply #3 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:47:56 PM »

bizarre - perhaps you could organise a really quick raffle before it goes off!! I'd eat it T, the cats won't touch it and they wouldn't begrudge you I'm sure!

That did make me smile so thanks as desperate for a smile today

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #1 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:42:30 PM »

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

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
