Let's go for a ride to the drive in?;)

[wombat2u2004]

Awwww, it's cool here mate....hee hee.
I might go light the fire.
Anyone for some hot chocolate ???? :D:D

[pomtzu]

Oh yes indeed! Yesterday and today the weather is absolute perfection. Mid 80's, cloudless sky, no humidity and a gentle breeze - couldn't be better. It was actually chilly early this a.m.
Anyone for some ham and cheese sandwiches???

Toasted ??? K. :D

[pomtzu]

Toasted ??? K. :D

K - and what would his Royal Highness Wombat care to wash it down with?

[smokey the elder]

Sweet ride! My brother had one of those cars.

It felt like fall this morning.

[Pinot's Mom]

'Tis wonderful weather, indeed! Afternoon off with the windows open, listening to the cicadas; I'll be out in the garden in a bit. :)

I'll take one of those sandwiches, please, toasted. I have some fresh tomatoes to go on them, too - anyone? How about a nice cold Sauvignon Blanc with it?

[happylabs]

Love this weather! I didn't have to turn on my AC last night for the first time almost all summer. I went to a local park at lunch time and sat and read my Kindle. I could have stayed there all afternoon but duty called.

Toasted cheese and tomato soup is a major comfort food here. Yum!

What beverage would go good with this?

Hot Toddy? I haver never had one but have heard of them. :p

[lbaker]

RICHARD, drive in movie or drive in food brought by someone on roller skates? If it's a movie which one should we pick? If it's food I'll have a burger and fries and a chocolate shake :D:cool: P's Mom, wine is good anytime... I especially enjoy white wine spritzers when it's really warm outside and I'm sitting in the garden.

I'll stick to the hot chocolate mate.
OOps, spilt it down my front.
You can take my shirt and wash it and iron for me now Ellie. :p:p

[pomtzu]

You can take my shirt and wash it and iron for me now Ellie. :p:p

In your dreams, Your Royal Highnee! No - I didn't forget the s. Iron - what's that???? :rolleyes: I think I do have one of those things somewhere tho.

[Pinot's Mom]

What, no takers on fresh Maryland tomatoes? Fine, we're putting them on Pita Pizzas tonight - you'll have to come here if you'd like some. ;)

lbaker, you know wine is good with anything, and you're welcome on the deck anytime, and you know how to get here!

Happylabs-love my kindle!!:D

[slick]

OMG Richard, is that yours?????:eek::love: I'm on the next train down...;)

What do you guys mean about cooling down.....we haven't even warmed up yet. :mad: We've had no summer to speak of. It's ridiculous.:rolleyes:

Having said that, I'd like a rather large Iced Capp to go please.

****raises hand*****
Oh Wom, I'll take your shirt.... I'd love to feast my eyes on your washboard abs.....;)

[Pinot's Mom]

...once again...I feel so ignored...:( MD tomatoes...really??

[slick]

PM: I love maters - fried maters, baked maters, chopped maters, mater sammies, yummy!!!!!

Good morning everyone. How about a good breakfast? Some fried MD maters on toast, eggs, canadian bacon and hash browns. :) Mmmmmm

[wombat2u2004]

****raises hand*****
Oh Wom, I'll take your shirt.... I'd love to feast my eyes on your washboard abs.....;)

No problems Slick. Seeing that no one else wants to take my shirt off....you can ;)

Hi Y'all.

Sorry I have been absent.

The Great Wind Storm of August has left us w/o power for the better part of two days so far.

At the moment there are a whole fleet of Louisville Power Co trucks on the street.

Hopefully the power will be up in the next hour?

I'll be back to fill orders in a bit!

[lbaker]

Maggie, the only thing as good as MD Maters are MD Silver Queen corn ;) Let's have some of both :p (we aren't a bit bias are we?)

[Karen]

I do so love real tomatoes from local farms or the garden in summer! There's nothing better. It's pouring rain here today, does that count as having cooled down?

Anyone else want a tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil sandwich?

[Pinot's Mom]

Maggie, the only thing as good as MD Maters are MD Silver Queen corn ;) Let's have some of both :p (we aren't a bit bias are we?)

I'm with ya, hon! It's not biased - just the best! :)

[pomtzu]

Maggie, the only thing as good as MD Maters are MD Silver Queen corn ;) Let's have some of both :p (we aren't a bit bias are we?)

Silver Queen corn - now I'm really drooling! :D

Drying out here after Sunday's Monsoon - nearly 6" of rain in as many hours - yet 15 miles to the south only got about an inch - go north and some places got 10". :eek: The ground was like walking on a wet sponge. We needed the rain, but moderation would have been nice too.

Headed to Baltimore shortly - I'll wave to Maggie as I drive by. Anyone care for a bagel with cream cheese before I hit the road?

[Pinot's Mom]

If you're not gone yet, a bagel would be lovely, thank you! Coffee's on! :D

Coming to Baltimore? What're you doing for lunch?

[pomtzu]

Coming to Baltimore? What're you doing for lunch?

Unfortunately I'm doing a doctor appointment for lunch (12:45) :( - in Timonium actually. And I'll have my grandson with me too. We really do have to get together soon tho!

Bagel coming up...........

[cassiesmom]

Actually, it is a lovely day for August in Chicago-- sunny, not too humid, high 84F-- and I'm stuck inside.

[gini]

It is a lovely California day - clear skys - that beautiful blue color - and no wind - very peaceful day.

Now wouldn't some silver queen corn hit the spot? And an honest to gosh tomato - what a concept - I didn't think they even made them anymore!!!

Since Slick is all over Wom without his shirt - I will just leave it alone:D:D:D

I don't do ironing anyway!!

[RICHARD]

Hey everyone,

Had a day filled with fun and work.

Gini,

I do miss the 'dry heat' of Cali, and spent the day cleaning up some of the branches that were left over from last Saturday's storm.

I thought about your tree as I chopped up wood and tore apart branches.:(

[Karen]

And did you have a milt julep as a reward for your efforts?

[RICHARD]

And did you have a milt julep as a reward for your efforts?

No, I have yet to sample a Kentucky Bourbon.:(

When I do, I'll post about it!

---------------------

One of the wonders of the area is the weather.

I have to apologize to everyone for being so flip about CA weather compared to what the rest of the country.

I humbly realize that not every day is 80 degrees, sunny and a deep blue sky.

(Gini, it is a culture shock!)

I stand corrected.:D

[wombat2u2004]

Since Slick is all over Wom without his shirt - I will just leave it alone:D:D:D

I don't do ironing anyway!!

Well you could learn to iron, whilst Slick and I commit atrocities on each other :D

[lbaker]

:eek::eek::eek: WOM -- SLICK :eek:;) (do tell...hee hee)

Let's go for a ride to the drive in?;)

I'm always up for a trip to the drive-in. What's playing?

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

I do so love real tomatoes from local farms or the garden in summer! There's nothing better. It's pouring rain here today, does that count as having cooled down?

Anyone else want a tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil sandwich?

Oh that sounds yum, Karen I'll take one. I'm trying to find out what kind of drive-in we're talking about.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

psst: speaking of slick, she has a birthday Sunday!!! You didn't hear it from me!!! ;)

[pomtzu]

psst: speaking of slick, she has a birthday Sunday!!! You didn't hear it from me!!! ;)

Who has What and When???? I didn't hear you........:D

[gini]

psssstttt. you didn't hear it from me either, but Slick's is on Saturday the 20th and Sara's is on Sunday the 21st.

[wombat2u2004]

psssstttt. you didn't hear it from me either, but Slick's is on Saturday the 20th and Sara's is on Sunday the 21st.

I'm telling !!!! :p

[Lady's Human]

ANyone want ice cream sundaes?

THe chocolate and butterscotch sauces are so thick you can turn the jars upside down and the sauce just sits there.........wonderful when warmed and put over ice cream, though. It's like butterscotch and chocolate flavored plastic!

[Karen]

I'll have some! Over maple walnut ice cream, as here in Thursday's, allergens don't exist!

[Lady's Human]

Funny you should mention that, that's exactly what's in the freezer.

[gini]

Maryland tomatoes..........blackraspberry ice cream..........maple walnut ice cream............ohhhhhhh, where does all of this good food come from..........and may I have some of each?

It's a California overcast day - dull and cool outside - nothing stirring.

[Lady's Human]

You can certainly have some of everything. I'll serve, but how you leave the bar afterwards is entirely your own problem .:p

[slick]

A hot day over here and getting ready for camping.

**plunks down a heavy case on bar**

There ya go, one freshly made batch of baileys. Anyone ever had it over ice cream???? Yummy for the tummy. :):D

I'll think I'll take gin and tonic with a slice of lime please. Yes, 59 today and I'm so looking forward to 60. Yes, I'm crazy but it is what it is.

Bartender, a round for the house please and put it on my tab. Double-dutch chocolate cake anyone??:D

[Lady's Human]

A gin and tonic for the birthday girl, and that cake sounds good......Think I'll have some with some ice cream and butterscotch sauce all poured over the top.

[Catty1]

Straight from the CNE - Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto - the Krispy Kreme Doughnut Cheeseburger!

http://media.thestar.topscms.com/images/bb/46/0cac1cf142b69ceba77387ac21e5.jpeg

Pass me that butterscotch sauce, will ya? YUM!

[Karen]

That looks like a heart attack on a plate! I cannot say a burger on a doughnut for a bun sounds at all appealing, you can keep it, Candace!

[Catty1]

(...actually, so can the CNE!!!! :eek: ) :D
