Shall I blame GoY or TT?

Or was it just another senior moment?
I’ve only had brief snatches on GoY over the last week so I have been trying to catch up today without much success. I finally got around to reading TT’s latest blog about ‘gnominating your Gnomes, Ophiopogon, and Sausage Trees’.
Well, I thought, I haven’t any gnomes but when I got to Ophiopogon I thought: ’I’ve got one of those, Amy sent it to me!‘. I knew I had posted a photograph of it but couldn’t remember when so I searched and searched for it, tried a word search but still couldn’t find it. After some considerable time I located it – Hurrah – so I gnominated it as TT requested. The reason I couldn’t easily find it was because I had put it under ‘black grass’ – perhaps I couldn’t spell Ophiopogon at the time!
Then I returned to TT’s blog to let her know. I got as far as typing ‘I haven’t any gomes or sausage trees…..’ and then I remembered……
I had put sausages on to cook at lunchtime to put in a sausage and onion quiche for tomorrow – and it was now 3.30pm!! I dashed to the kitchen and my keen sense of smell told me immediately I was too late! Burnt offerings is an understatement – the sausages were so well done they were brittle!
Well, I suppose I can tell TT that I still have gno gnomes to gnominate but that I now have both Ophiopogon and a sausage tree!
I hope ham quiche is OK for the family tomorrow!
Two additional photos gnow added at TT’s request – original black dog plus gnon-grass plant and gnon-gnome, gnamed Gnorman !!

12 Mar, 2010
That was a brill blog Amy :o)))

I think iit was more of a 'gnonense' answer, TT, as I have just remembered a character lurking at the back of one of my borders. He gnot a real gnome but may be gnon-gnome!
12 Mar, 2010
I gnot Amy, Clarice, I'm Ggee:)
12 Mar, 2010
I gnow this is very confusing Gee, but could you please include a gnon-gnome torchlight pic to complete the trio ?
Gno kidding... it would be good. Ggee...?
Gno rhyme gnor reason to gnot do this ??
Come to think of it..where's the black grass pic in this blog ???
12 Mar, 2010
My hubby would probably like a taste of your tree Gee, he prefers his sausages cremated............I`m still LOL ,eyes streaming amongst coughing fits...........
12 Mar, 2010
Gnever one to say gno, TT, I have just gone into the garden, braving rain, darkness and fowl friends (!) to take the photo for you. Gno trouble! Gno reason gnot to!!
Black grass pic was posted months ago but once found, and while my sausages burned, I gnominated it so it should come up for you sometime :)
Gnon-gnome photo will follow gnow!
12 Mar, 2010
Was hoping you would add the black grass pic to this blog also please ???
I've already put it on GoYpedia Ophiopogon... :o)
12 Mar, 2010
Sorry to spoil the party but strictly speaking, ophiopogon is not a grass, it's a member of the lily family
12 Mar, 2010
So, should David gnot include Ophiopogon on GoYpedia Grasses ?
12 Mar, 2010
Brilliant Ggee. I've gnot laughed so hard for quite a while.
12 Mar, 2010
lol Gee love the sausage tree heheeh :o))
12 Mar, 2010
Gnow off to play bowls. Gnot sure that I'm gnot completely insane gnow - I seem to have called the dog black somehow - gnever mind but I definitely blame TT gnow :)
12 Mar, 2010
Gnot gnuilty !!! :o)
12 Mar, 2010
You lot are gnuts :)))
The sausage tree is brill not a lot else you could have done with it lol. Why does cooking always get in the way ?
The common name for ophiopogon is turf lily so that must be why we connect it to grass (turf).Though it does look more like a grass than a lily and the leaves are more useful than the short lived tiny flowers anyway :)
12 Mar, 2010
Love the sausage tree Gee...lol! ;o)))
12 Mar, 2010
This is brilliant even though you are all crackers! I thought it was just me, gnomes or no gnomes maybe they would like the burnt sausages Gee I have been out today and bought three gnomes.
12 Mar, 2010
LOL :D :D - that was really funny. Sorry to laugh at your sausages Gee lol. I have burnt several things myself because of being on GoY, so you're not alone :o))
12 Mar, 2010
My sides hurt now!
12 Mar, 2010
I totally agree with Wagger, what a fantastic blog,TT, I'm begining to think you're beyond help after just reading that, and Gee, you're running a close second lol! :o))
12 Mar, 2010

Reading through these comments at 11.15 pm, been out to a pub, rare event as don't drink often, now , either something funny was in my glass or you lot have been out too ! Very, very funny, loving the sausage tree. : o ) ) )
12 Mar, 2010
I've not been out - alas - but have a had a laugh at all the gnominess and loved the burnt sausage tree I gnominate it for goypedia section "cooking ruined by dedication to goy"
12 Mar, 2010
Now I'm wondering what to do if I find this blog has been gnominated for GoYpedia "logs" :o)
13 Mar, 2010
Very good we need some light relief and it seems Goyers are blessed with funny bones. At least the sausages would have been low fat if anybody had dared to eat them! Sue
13 Mar, 2010
Love the sausage tree Gee, Masterchef would be proud of you!! Wonderful presentation.
13 Mar, 2010

16 Mar, 2010

17 Mar, 2010

17 Mar, 2010

17 Mar, 2010

17 Mar, 2010
I reckon you should blame both Gee! (For being a valid contribution to our well being). A really funny blog and I loved your clever sausage tree.
18 Mar, 2010
I reckon you should make a plaster cast of your sausage tree and hang it in the garden, this has got to be the funniest blog this year, I had to go and make a cuppa before I could reply to you Gee, the tears are still running. Thanks to you and all that contributed.
18 Mar, 2010
Glad you all enjoyed the blog. I think GoY should come with a Government Health Warning :)
18 Mar, 2010

made me lol!
24 Oct, 2010
Thanks, Stickitoffee, I've now bought two kitchen timers so I don't make this mistake any more (well, that's the plan anyway) :)
24 Oct, 2010
