Is that called a brazier? I saw them or similar things used in 1600's cooking on a show in TVO around Yuletide past.

OH HO! Braziar! No, I think that is what women wear under their sweaters.

Bean soup! Sure thing, fill it up with bean soup grego, then we can warm our feet over it! I should send dimensions.

Is a "dual poosting" legal?

gary rith said...

a dual poosting is OK in certain downtown neighborhoods where people explore alternative lifestyles

oh you meant BRAZIER. righto. that is a little beanpot which you set on fire to keep your feet warm, right?

yepper a kind of brazier for holding a coal or two to keep one's tootsies warm.. or place in the middle of a table to eminate heat to all sitting around.

Mona Buonanotte said...

Mags, I think gr "firing" someone is a compliment. Complement? Spellcheck, anyone?

BTW, Gary, Blogger is being a naughty child about me leaving comments...all stompy and whiny and error messagey
