The Last Day of Summer 2011 Thursday #448

[RICHARD]

How's that for a convoluted theme?

I think a nice bowl of chili and some jalapeno cornbread is in order.

I made a batch of bread - for the first time the other day - It was pretty spectacular.....The only thing wrong was that it needed the pinch of salt the recipe called for, that I left out.

I'll be back later with a DOTD. I have to get this party rolling...

DONE?

[Karen]

Still good, fresh local tomatoes available, I'll contribute some tomato mozzarella salad to the party! With fresh basil, and a little balsamic vinegar ... yum!

All you have to do is slather a slice of bread with real butter, and not the low or no salt variety, and you'll never miss the salt you left out of the recipe. :D I never use salt in baking anything anymore and I can't even tell the difference.

Chilli sounds yummy, but it's too warm for it today, but I'll take some of Karen's salad and some of that bread - please!


Everybody beware of falling space junk tomorrow. :eek::D

[Bonny]

Could I bring a favorite jalapeno jelly to put on that homemade bread? It has a real kick to it & wakes up all the taste buds on a persons tongue. :D

[happylabs]

Chili and cornbread sounds perfect! I'll bring some grated cheese and sour cream to top the chili with.

Patiently waiting to see what the DOTD is. I'm thirsty!

[lbaker]

I'm trying to think of a DOTD that has sumpin' to do with "space junk" but I'm a bit flumoxed at the moment. Any ideas?? :confused: Corn bread (phunny thing, I just made some Pepper Jack cornbread this past weekend!!) and Chili sounds scrumptious. RICHARD, did you get a chance to taste Slicks chili while at Gini's a few years back? Best I've ever eaten :love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Chili and cornbread? I am so there!!! :love:

[Pinot's Mom]

I don't care if it is too warm (which it is); chili, cornbread and a Wasatch. I drink very little beer (and don't have chili much), but when we're in Deer Valley, Utah we indulge in Turkey Chili and a Wasatch! Great combo!:)

[cassiesmom]

It was a nice day yesterday. Could I please have iced tea? Today was cooler out but also sunny.

LOL...maybe they will name a drink after space junk. We could create our own. Maybe something with Tang in it since that is what the Astronauts used to drink. :D

[Queen of Poop]

Any of that chili/cornbread left? Not really breakfast food, but since I've already been up 6 hours today what the heck.

I'm thinking Tang and champagne would be a good toast to today's falling space junk! Keep your heads up everyone!

[lbaker]

Let's see.... Tang with Champagne, Jalapeno Cornbread & Chili. If we all BURRRRP at once we can send that space junk right back up to the Stratesphere :eek: :p :o

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I used left over chili to make nachoes today. It was yummy!!! I'll share. :love:

I have a friend, guy friend, who can probably burp from the other end if you know what I mean and send it way into outerspace. ROTFLMBO......


:D :p ;)

:D :p ;)

I didn't know that you knew my brother.............:D

[Lady's Human]

Barkeep, I'll take something tall and loaded with alcohol.....

Now I've gone to a new low, I called the media to tell them about an event and agreed to be interviewed (IF the person I told them to interview doesn't agree to it.....not my party, I'm just helping)

So, if unfortunately I wind up on camera, have a drink or 10 for me. I'll even re-stock the bar after I empty it.

[Pinot's Mom]

Hello from the large green wetland formerly known as Maryland...

Yes, chili with cornbread sound lovely, thank you! We never came up with a drink, did we? I'm not drinking TANG!! I lived through the 70's and know darn well what that tastes like! Give it to Orc. :p

PLEASE take all these flies, mosquitoes and gnats back to your wetland. They have flourished in this warm humid weather. Stinkbugs are on the rise too. :mad:

If Bonny dropped off any of her jalapeno jelly, I could go for some on crackers. YUM! I need to make some more.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Ewwwww!!! Why is Orc orange and sticky? :eek:

I just love a cherry rootbeer. :love:

[Karen]

Happy Anniversary Lady's Humans! Cake!

Guaranteed! The jalapeno raspberry jelly will warm you from one end to the other & take those bug blues away. :D

Now that sounds delish. Do you buy it that way, or do you have a recipe you'd care to share????? The recipe I have is just with hot peppers.

:) I buy the jam at the Seed Savers Exchange up the road. They get it from Clear Creek Orchard. The jam I got last week is Red Raspberry Jalapeno & is really good. Maybe add some raspberries cooked up with the hot peppers to make yourself some hot raspberry jam. :cool: There is just something about the Jalapeno Jam that puts a kick into a peanut butter sandwich. :D
