Playing with Words on wordless Wednesday

Hosted by Comedy Plus 

 Last Friday, January 15th we took a beautiful 45 minute walk in the

Turnberry neighborhood...which is just about two blocks from home.

As we walked about we decided the area took on a bit of Scotland in the names.

We drive thru there a lot but little we have never walked there.

Since getting there requires lots of Walk and Don't Walk signs to cross a very 

busy eight lane road divided by a median we drove to a close by shopping center.

TURNS 

out it was a BERRY good idea

We saw lots of interesting street names, Wee Burn, Troone, Plaza, Turnstone, Sleepy Hollow

Contour and Calton, 

We thought there was just two ways in and out of the 

neighborhood but we learned there were more.

I like words and names and often wonder about origins.  I googled a few of the street names

TURNBERRY: 

Turnberry is a golf resort on the Firth of Clyde in Ayrshire, southwest Scotland. It comprises three links golf courses, a golf academy, a five-star James Miller-designed hotel from 1906, along with lodge and cottage accommodations.

TROONE: 

The search on Troone asked me to enter a birthdate I entered mine

I do not know how you feel about it, but you were a female in your last earthly incarnation. You were born somewhere around the territory of Portugal approximately on 975. Your profession was jeweler and watch-maker.

As an inquisitive and inventive person, you liked to get to the very bottom of things and to rummage in books. Talent for drama, natural born actor. The world is full of ill and lonely people. You should help those, who are less fortunate than you are.

Wee Burn

Wee means small in size or extent. [Scottish, informal] I've got a wee kitten in the flat. He just needs to calm down a wee bit.

Burn: In local usage, a burn is a kind of watercourse. The term applies to a large stream or a small river. The word is used in Scotland and England (especially North East England) and in parts of Ulster, Australia and New Zealand.

Sleepy Hollow

A drowsy, dreamy influence seems to hang over the land, and to pervade the very atmosphere. — Washington Irving, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" The story is set in 1790 in the countryside around the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town (historical Tarrytown, New York), in a secluded glen known as Sleepy Hollow.

This was a fun walk and helped met talk

Today's Wacky January Holiday is National Cheese Lovers Day

we are avid lovers of all things cheesy here.

TASTY dish

3 ingredient biscuits recipe at the bottom

We especially liked them because they are bite size and 

we can eat more. 

Recipe:

3 ingredient biscuits

1- 8oz package of canned biscuits

4 tablespoons butter or margarine

3 tablespoons of crumbled blue cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

Cut biscuits into quarters, arrange in two 8" round baking dishes.

Melt together the butter and blue cheese. Pour over biscuits in 

both dishes.  Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown

 I am not a big fan of blue cheese;  however, these biscuits were really tasty.
