On pronunciation



Welcome to July and Happy Canada Day to all the Canadians!

The other day I was walking through Whole Foods and noticed they had roasted tomatoes in their eatery that day. It inspired me to make my own as I had a lot of tomatoes that needed cooking anyway. I found a recipe from Ina Garten. I didn't add sugar though. Have you ever roasted tomatoes, it is not hard to do?

In other miscellaneous news, Kathy mentioned on her blog that the Iphone X is pronounced Iphone 'Ten', did you know that?  X represents the Roman numeral for ten.  It's kind of the way my kids used to correct me when I used to say' #' as 'number sign', I am supposed to say 'hashtag'.

Happy Canada Day to my lovely neighbors to the north.
Have never tried making roasted tomatoes at home. Don't know why - they are so delicious! Thanks for sharing Ina's recipe.
And I still don't understand what a hashtag is...

Hmm, modern speak! I am not fond of cooked tomatoes, I prefer them fresh and cool! Hugs, Valerie

Did you know that the first watch was invented by a Roman Centurion known as Role the Tenth. He shortened his name to Role X.

God bless.

Funny thing back in the early 1990s Capcom came out with a new Megaman series called Megaman X

previously there was Megaman 1 2 3 etc but stopped somewhere around 6 at that time.

Kids kept calling it Megaman Ten.

Happy Canada Day to you....I have never had a roasted tomato. I am not really big on cooked maters though. Wow, with what you pay for a phone they sure go out of date soon. I hardly get one paid for till it is all out of date.

I knew about the phone, but I apparently forgot. I think of it as 'ex' too. :)

Happy day to you!

My sister last time we visited made some sliced tomatoes drizzled with a little olive oil and mozzarella cheese on top - couldn't believe how good they were.

Happy July!

Happy Canada Day Christine! I think I've seen fire roasted tomatos in sauce, but haven't eaten them otherwise.

Jennifer Rose said...

its always been called a hashtag since I was a kid, and my head automatically turns Roman numerals into numbers, had to learn very early in english and math class

Roasting really brings out the sweetness in less than perfectly ripe tomatoes.

Thanks for the nice shout out. I wonder if, when Apple brings out the next generation of iPhones if they'll stick with the numbering system...which would make the X as 10 seem more logical.
