Okay, okay I’ll float in on little cat feet to help mama but I’m outta here after I nudge her brain about boats…
Well, the Americas Cup is on…but today, alas, the USA boat, American Magic, lost to Luna Rossa, the Italian boat. We still have a chance against the UK but mama hasn’t seen that one yet and I’m ansy to get back into the garden to help tie up the tomatoes in this strong wind.
What a BEEOUTIFUL boat is American Magic!
But…the race is on but not over. These boats look like water bugs, a,a says! They never touch water except for their ‘wings’ and American Magic was designed with Italians, which is why it looks to mama like the sleekest of all the entries.
It has so many advantages, design-wise, but it had better get faster if it wants to stay in the round robin and go to the final.
Just thought you might be interested in a boat that’s not a boat but a bug, haha.
Mama remember watching water bugs skim over the water in ponds and puddles. One of the miracles to watch in childhood…
By the way, great eggplant recipes from commenters, merci. Mama is off to make one now…with charred eggplant for starters.
We cannot afford TV but I will look online, maybe see some clips.
Chargrilled eggplant looks so good!
Perhaps you are better off…you can get anything online now. No TV needed.
Love me some roasted aubergine. Oh. So. Tasty! Better than a boat because I can eat it LOL!!!
HAHA yes those boats are a bit tough..
The Lady has never watched the America’s Cup. But she loves those gorgeous boats.
Well, it’s only 20 minutes or so for each race and the American will sail this week, can’t remember which day. Waterbug Wonders, mama calls them.
My Mom loves fried eggplant – absolutely NOT the healthiest choice but ne of her guilty pleasures nonetheless! YUM.
Hugs, Teddy
WAIT A MINUTE…your mama CAN have eggplant sauteed in olive oil…a natural antiozidant is eggplant, and full of nutrients, vitamins and not calories. Just eat a portion and stop. Haha I know that’s not easy with eggplant.
LouLou, no matter how elegant those yachts are, they cannot compete with the sleek elegance of a kitty !
Ahhh…words of wisdom, always. But, of course, we don’t float quite as well…
Thank you for the link. xO
You are so welcome, Ellen, and how ARE you?
LouLou, we see roasty toasty eggplant! Lynn still sees water bugs when she gets around ponds or creeks. She’s not a big boat lover and I am a land lover kitty, but we bet the race is really something. Precious
Oh, Precious, it is exciting, and it’s such fun for mama to imagine them a huge water bugs skimming over the sea. Also fun to see the amazing yachts in the harbor.
Oh, I missed the America’s Cup?!?! I once got to sail on on of those sailing yachts, that’s so much work and my arms were so tired.
OH WOW, YOU LUCKY DEVIL AND YOU HAVE NOT MISSED IT. IT’S STILL GOING ON!!!!! THE USA JUST WON A RACE TODAY AGAINST FRANCE. AMERICAN MAGIC IS A FANTASTIC BOAT!!!
