Where did this weather come from. It's been cold at night! Oh you poor dear. What - it got all the way down to 60 F?????? ;):p:D Here's a flannel blankie and some slippers for ya. We are going down to 23 F tonight. Long term forcast for us calls for snow on Fri, Sat and Sun. Do you know how to ski Richard?? :p

Yes, something warm and comforting would be great. I'll wait for the menu but in the meantime I'll take a Spanish Coffee please. Merci buckets!

No, I don't do things without brakes.;)

It was close to freezing, I left the cat litter bow outdoors and the water on top froze. 34?

I hate pot roast, but I want some!
With mashed taters and green beans!

One Cafe Espanol!
DONE!

DJ,
One pot roast!

The DOTD?

Baby Eskimo recipe

2 oz Kahlua® coffee liqueur
8 oz milk
2 scoops vanilla ice cream

Leave ice-cream out for about 10 minutes. Add ingredients in order, stir with chopstick (butter knife or spoon works too). Consume immediately and often. Nice and light, great for following a heavy drink.

Well, it's down to 16F in Chicago with subzero wind chills. So, could I please have coffee? No, I'd better have decaf. It's pretty late.

Good Grief ... what did your Mom cook for you kids?

Fur sure your Dad must have enjoyed the occassional Sunday Pot Roast.

I could eat Mom's Pot Roast all week long! :cool:

I'll take an Irish coffee (with whipped cream on top and a sprinkle of creme de menthe over that. . .the green kind that you can see!)

Then I'll have a hot flash because it's like 82 degrees here. We had the a/c on last night!

I'm NOT dreaming of a white Christmas!! :p

Pinot's Mom

12-10-2009, 07:13 AM

I'll have one of those "Baby Eskimo" drinks - but can I switch the milk and Kahlua proportions?:)

I'm having zucchini walnut bread warmed up this morning with whipped cream cheese on top - anyone care to join me?

It's COLD here in Concordia. Right now it's 25 degrees with a wind chill of 11 degrees, and snow showers and flurries all day. RICHARD, may I have a BIG cup of coffee with Bailey's?

Save me some please. I'll be over there in a flash...........;)

Karen

Hmmm, not too cold here yet - by our standards, anyway, but it's supposed to be cold and very windy tomorrow, so temperatures will "feel like" the teens, instead of the upper twenties they will actually be!

Bartender, I've brought a big pot of hot chocolate - made with extra chocolate, a bit of coffee, and some cinnamon. And I'll contribute some shortbread cookies - some just plain and some chocolate/chocolate chip. They're not very sweet, but nice and rich, and I'm happy to share.

My mom made a killer PR.....I just didn't like the texture of the meat. The fat was what did it for me.

Loved the veggies, tho!

CD,

Did you ever go thru the initiation process for Thursday's?:eek::D

Hey, Richard isn't just a kiddin' about the California weather. I walked out on my deck to go to work and almost went arse over teakettle on the ice crystals.

Soooo - a large very hot coffee - with a generous amount of Bailey's will thaw me out and get the day going.

One clean joke will get you lifetime membership. However, since you tried to crash the party, I think we should make it a little tougher!! :D What do you think, Richard????? :D

How about this . . .

An Irishman , a Mexican and a Blonde Guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.

They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, 'Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off this building.'

The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, 'Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too.'

The blonde opened his lunch and said, ' Bologna again! If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too.'

The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage, and jumped to his death.

The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito, and jumped, too.

The blonde guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death as well.

At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, 'If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!'

The Mexican's wife also wept and said, 'I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much.'

Everyone turned and stared at the blonde's wife. The blonde's wife said,

'Don't look at me. The idiot makes his own lunch.'

Give that lady back her Green Irish Coffee - freshen it up a bit and let's all say

WELCOME ABOARD!!

Pinot's Mom

12-10-2009, 01:28 PM

OK - I think that one gets her in at least most of the way;) - how 'bout it Barkeep? ... Barkeep?? YO - BARKEEP!! Oh, where is he? Orc, go find him would you? :rolleyes:

catland

12-10-2009, 01:45 PM

Good joke. :)

Down to 13ºF here in the morning. BRRR. But we're lucky because its been clear so no ice to deal with.

Transition happens this weekend when Pacific weather is due to scour out our Artic Blast. I'm sipping on a pumpkin-spice latte at the moment, so adding some baileys sounds like a most exellent idea.

For lunch, anyone want some a bowl of hot chili?

Catherinedana

12-10-2009, 01:45 PM

Thank you so much!!

Hey, I crashed last week too. Do I need to find another joke?

Queen of Poop

12-10-2009, 01:51 PM

Excellent joke!!

Could I please get a ginger ale? My tummy is still not over the cleanout business. Food is not my friend yet. Or better yet, some hot ginger tea.

I checked our temperature it is 10oF and feels like 0oF, need some feel better and warming up liquids.

RICHARD

12-10-2009, 02:13 PM

I go outside to do a little wood gathering and everyone shows up!

QoP,
Proud of you, see? The test twasn't that bad!
Hot Ginger Tea!

Oh no, Burritos again!:eek:

Hi Catland!
Some Bailey's for you!

Chili? I'll break out the bowls and crackers!

PM,

Thanks for sending the ORC out, I dropped plastic pipe on my foot....He carried me back in!

Hey Miss G,
Glad you didn't go A over T!

Large hot, extra Bailey's

DONE!

Hi MOFF,

Hot choco and tea for the kids!

Could I please get a tall, stiff drink. (in reality no way would my tummy accept it)

He cancelled my vehicle insurance and pulled a few other nasty tricks today so I need a belt!!!:mad:

Plus I'm heading out into the cold and could use some anti-freeze!!!

QoP,

My brother has tried to cut off the cable three times, the water and power twice and the phone twice. You are not alone.

One anti-freeze?

done!

Good to know!!!:)

Now I need some snow repellant. It's in the forecast for the next 5 days!! I know its winter and I live in the "arctic" and all but jeepers, we don't need to get it all at once. How about a nice chamomile tea to help with sleepy time?

RICHARD

OK - I missed bellying up to the bar last night, our FiOs went down, we have no phone or internet (both FiOs).:mad:
So a quick check in from work...

Good morning, all! We have left over zucchini walnut bread with whipped cream cheese, still just as good as yesterday! There's some Christmas spiced coffee on the warmer with some Bailey's since it's Friday!! Happy Friday!

On a side note - we all have to check in at the bar tomorrow - we'll be celebrating a BIRTHDAY!!:D

RICHARD

12-11-2009, 11:06 AM

ohh,
A birthday!

I'll have to get the ORC ready to roll!

Happy Friday, Back at ya!

Okay, this is ridiculous. We went from summer to winter to fall and now we're back in BRRRRRRRRRRR Winter.

Orc's getting firewood, you're going to have to wait a bit before he can help you.

Well, order something while we wait!

Since it's lunch time, how's about a tuna fish sandwich?

And BBQ tater chips?

Pinot's Mom

12-11-2009, 12:21 PM

I'm actually having a lovely lunch - it's a nice salad with a scoop of chicken salad on top and a great dill vinaigrette dressing. I get it quite often - I crave it sometimes! ...and since it's Friday - I'm having Chardonnay with it - anyone care to join me?:)

Karen

12-11-2009, 12:44 PM

Can I have a tuna fish sandwich on toast please? I so miss them in real life! But I am now allergic to everything - the tuna, the mayonnaise (olive oil or canola AND lemon juice), the celery, and most commercial breads have "malt" that I'm allergic to!

**knock knock**
Anybody awake??? Awww, look at Orc snoring away on Phred's lap.
I'd better sneak in quietly tonight.

Things did not go well at work today. I made a major, major screwup. I stayed at work until 10:30pm trying to make it right. Have to go in tomorrow afternoon to finish the job. When all is said and done, we will lose a days work. Heads will roll, including mine. This is the second screwup I've made in the last few months. I know that both of them will show up on my performance appraisal next month. :( Ay yi yi yi yi....why don't they just give me a 2 year package, say good-bye and I won't let the door hit my arse on the way out.:(

I've hired a personal trainer and tomorrow he's coming to give me my first workout. His name is Stuart and I think he looks good in spandex......;) After he's done with me I have to go in to work.

In the meantime, I think I'll whip together a batch of slushies. I need to sit back and recall happy times......

Until tomorrow folks......

Gotta run, so real quick, Orc, you've got a job to do! Set up the bar for a party because it's DAVID P'S BIRTHDAY!! It's your responsibility to get the party started while I'm out!

HAVE A GREAT ONE, DAVID!!:D

Thank you, Pinot's Mom. I'll get this party started! Tonight at supper, I'm going to have chicken cord'en bleu (spl?) and key lime pie, a garden salad,dinner rolls, and wine. YUM! A friend of mine played a version of Happy Birthday that was VERY unusual. For a present he'll put it on my mp3 player. I'm having FUN!

RICHARD

12-12-2009, 04:35 PM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!

Yeah, lets get this party started....

DONE!

Orc, Help me with the streamers!

12-12-2009, 05:24 PM

Mind if I huddle up by the fire? I'm freezing. Happy Bday David!! Sounds like you've had a good day and dinner. Currently not snowing here, but its -27oC and -36oC wind chill. Could I get a hot chocolate with a little anti-freeze?

Slick I hope you got your issue at work resolved and are feeling a little better now. Please give Max a hug and kiss from me.

I'll make some hot chocolate to share - it's been December-like here lately - which is nice, given that November was far too warm to feel appropriate.

Marshmallows, min imarshmallows, marshmallow fluff or plain, Gayle?

Oh I love marshmallows, Could I get 3 regular size, they tend to float nicely at the top of the cup. Thank you!!!:D

RICHARD

12-12-2009, 08:47 PM

Karen,

I thought there was a catch to a warm November!

More wood, Orc!

Karen

12-14-2009, 12:22 PM

The catches to a warm November are that cold germs and leaf mold spores survive a lot longer without a hard freeze, people have been sicker, and when the cold temps finally hit, folks were caught a bit off guard!

At least we still have a little snow still on the ground after yesterday's hard rain ...

Queen of Poop

12-14-2009, 12:49 PM

If there is any hot chocolate left I'd have another please. Freezing here. Even in my office my fingers are so cold it is hard to type. I've even got my jacket on to try to stay just slightly warmer.
