Calcified lumps on the shell.

I don’t have them either.

No, really.

Found ‘em. In the top of a tissue box. In a cupboard. Shruggity.

I suspect that frisking tissue boxes first ought to be a standing order. Not thinking of any other incident in particular, you understand. After which, on the roof outside one’s window is a good bet.

Oh good grief, I had forgotten that. But the box was in a cupboard, which makes a difference…

Is frisking tissue boxes an euphemism?

Asking for a friend…

The mushrooms stuffed with cheese were delicious. I cooked them in butter & Italian seasoning.

I forget what small essential item I had mislaid, Carinthia, and hunted for all over the house; it was found by Gus inside the tissue box beside my bed.

Hurrah for the mushrooms. I am boiling up the bones from the Schweinshaxe, which worked perfectly as cooked by the recipe you pointed me to, with an addition gleaned elsewhere and now added: to make the skin really crackle, rather than scoring it in diamonds one can make a hundred or so pinpricks into the fat underneath using a fine knife or even a thick needle (or I suspect a bradawl, but I didn’t bother to fetch that). I thought that was worth a try, and it worked, so that is a plus. Next step, soup based on the bones. And maybe I ought to put the pin-prick-pork trick in recipes.

It was a pen, and it was found by me in the first place I looked.

Women should have set off. We’ll see them in about ten minutes.

I failed to find it there. Sparrer stood in the doorway and spotted it (a pen) immediately.
