Thursday #335 Fall road trip! [Archive]

RICHARD

I was thinking of a road trip to go check out the Fall colors and maybe pick up some road side veggies...I was inspired by the Store vs. Veggie stand thread.....

I need to get out.;)

I think a thermos of mulled cider sounds about right.

DONE!

Hmmm....now how did you know, Richard, this would be a perfect theme? We'll be taking off for our fall camping road trip at 6am tomorrow! Truckin' with the pop up (affectionately known as Campy) in tow to the Asheville, NC area! I'm in big time vacation mode (with fall leaves :)), so let's see...

I'd like a hot toddy ... and, what to eat? What says fall? I know! Butternut Squash soup and Corn Bread!! :D

C'mon up to Cabot! Where the Home is, it's really in the sticks with corn growing, hay all rolled up, and roadside stands starting to sell pumpkins! Barkeep, I can use a good mulled cider!

Yall should come up to central Oregon! It is over 80 today, its a bit humid but its still pleasant. And we are only a hop skip and a jump away from the coast!

I'll take a Mtn Dew and some CNTs for my passengers.

Well, our road trip is packed up and ready to roll with enough food and drink for a really good time - it's off to the very western part of NC, right off the Blue Ridge, for me, my hubby and our "campy"...Pinot's got a sitter, I don't think she'd do well in a pop-up.

Have a great week, and I'll talk to y'all when we get back!:cool:

How's about some apple pie to go with that cider. I'll take one of those mulled ciders please, we're going apple picking tomorrow with the kids.:)

RICHARD

09-25-2009, 09:26 AM

LOL,

"we're on the road to nowhere!!"

Road trips here are better left to the imagination. It's way too much work to plan a destination. I love the "just point and drive" train of thought.

Or, as my dad used to tell us when we wanted to know where the Sunday Road Trip would end up....

"Get into the car and find out!":D

Cider for the whole crew!!!

Cider me up barkeep!!! :D

Cornbread casserole is yummy too.

Just plop some chilli in a casserole dish. Mix up a small box of cornbread mix and pour over it. Bake until cornbread is done. YUMMY INDEED!!! :D

I have neverrrrr tasted chili better than Slicks (how do you spell that anyway??) Just bought some last of season fresh corn on the cob (Eastern Shore of course) and a large ham steak. mmmmm-good. My son and Jenny are at Dover DE camping our for NASCAR on Sunday so I'm doing my cooking "thang" for the two grandsons and me. "Pour me something strong and cold, make it a Hurricane before I go insane" Oh, dear, hurrican season may be coming up soon on the East coast so lets go the mountains before the winds blow the beautiful leaves are blown to Hades.... bye guys, nice to be back!!!!!

09-25-2009, 06:38 PM

With a few jalapenos and cheese added to the dish?

YOu betcha.

DONE!

Cheese for sure!!! I have to, um, pass on the jalapenos though. They shoot right through me! :D

MOFF,

Has it been a good apple crop out there this year? Here in Michigan, due to the cool summer, we are overflowing with them. Up the road, at a local orchard, one of the trees was uprooted by the sheer weight of the apples on it.

Karen

09-26-2009, 06:51 PM

Wow, that's impressive! I am looking forward to an abundance of good local apples, as we had such a rainy, rainy summer ... in June, anyway ...

I loved the smell of Bummy's (maternal grandfather's) orchard in the fall. Trying to avoid yellow jackets buzzing around rotting fruit on the ground, though, or getting yelled at for dawdling, not picking - that I don't miss!

I am soooooooooo glad I am not allergic to apples!

Grace

09-26-2009, 07:02 PM

My husband is allergic to the yellow jackets. Couple of years ago he got stung on both hands, and was almost in shock by the time he got to the ER. He's been getting desensitized ever since then - he now goes 5 weeks between shots. And carries 2 Epi-Pens wherever he goes!

RICHARD

09-26-2009, 07:19 PM

I still wouldn't want to stand behind me, just in case. Would you? ;) :D

Behind every good man is a good woman, Except with jalapenos?;)

C&S,

Either one!

:D

Apples for everyone, and cider too!

DONE!

It's miserably hot here today 101 degrees!!!:eek:

Sorry Richard...:p;)

GO DUCKS *hides*

I love sports and do not mind getting my nose tweaked.
Right now I am in heaven.
Boxing, baseball, racing and football.

Part of sports is being a good sport.

The Raiders keep me grounded!!:eek::rolleyes::D

The Seahawks may keep me grounded this year...and Oregon has this habit of not playing the same way twice so...next week is a totally different story lol.

A toast to good sportsmanship? :D I think more people need to find their inner pieces...and assemble them!

slick

09-28-2009, 08:07 PM

Hey Richard, is the bar still open??? My boss from he** isn't improving much so please...take me far, far away......:)

Something tall and strong will suffice for now.

Karen

09-28-2009, 08:37 PM

Richard's pretty tall ... but I'm not. I can, however, pour you some cider? Or good strong tea?

(Not a bartender, sorry, dunno about that stuff!)

LOL,
Tall people just know two things before anyone else.

What is falling from the sky, and how hard it's raining!:eek:

Slick,

One tall dark and good?

A black russian.

DONE!

DJ,

You are a good fan.

A cider and a shot?

To sports fans and lady fans.....they rock.

DONE!

**waves** Hi Karen: You know, I've never made a pie in my whole life - mind you I don't eat desserts anyway.

The weather here is changing too. Today we had rain, then hail and at the end of the day driving home, the skies were blue and the sun was out as if to tease me...... Yes, I guess summer is over.:(

I feel like some chili, spicy please, with a dollop of sour cream and cheeze. MMMM, now that would hit the spot right about now. Oh yes, and another BR please. :)

It's been a day of changing weather - common around these parts, but it's really like the weather is saying "summer is really over," today included blue skies, then dark clouds, high winds, and it really feels like it is gonna pour, but might not.

Apple cider, please? Maybe spiced, and a slice of apple pie with a chunk of good cheddar would really hit the spot. I'll make the pie (anything other than home made is really a travesty, say I) anyone want some?

It did the same exact thing here today. It was nice and chilly right in time for the drive home. I am SO glad my car has good heat! My dad makes a darn good pumpkin pie...I should make him send some over here!
I love homemade pies. Its one of the many things I miss about living at home...

Yeah, they've had a really good season this year. Kinda cool lots of rain and no hail. At least no really big hail. Last season when we went a lot of the apples had hail damage to them. But this year the apples are big and juicy!:D
