Election Thursday #454

[RICHARD]

I thought that we should celebrate Election Day across the country.


Pork's on the menu, along with Hot air ballon rides.


Shall we start with a nice bacon, sausage breakfast?

Done!

[smokey the elder]

I'll drink to that...it's nice today so it's not too late for raspberry mojitos!

One raspberry mojito?


Done!

Pulled pork sandwiches for lunch?:D

[Lady's Human]

It's time to caucus raucus!

In keeping with thee theme, how about some Swamp Water?

* 1/2 oz Vodka (Stoli)
* 1/2 oz Midori melon liqueur
* 1/2 oz Malibu rum
* 1/2 oz Blue Curacao
* 1/2 oz Pineapple juice
* 1/2 oz Sweet and sour

Pour over ice, mix and serve.

[Karen]

Yech - I'll take the pineapple juice straight, thanks! And will contribute some sugar cookies with red, white and blue sprinkles! Voting cookies!

[gini]

Never have I cared for Midori.:rolleyes:...........and I don't like Tidy-Bowl as a drink much either.:eek:

But I have been known to be raucus without any of the other ingredients.

I had better try to stay out of trouble here - I will have a cookie and some iced tea.

Thanks, Richard

[Lady's Human]

Sheesh, it's not Tidy-bowl, it's swamp water!

:p

What, Gini, no sense of adventure?

[gini]

Ya know - you just don't drink things that are blue!

Yellow is o.k. - lemonade
Red is alright- wine, cranberry juice
green goes - Midori that I don't like...........

but Blue - and I don't want to hear anything from Karen
about how good blueberry juice is...........................:D

[Pinot's Mom]

I have some raspberries in the 'fridge I'll share to try the Raspberry Mojito.:) How about some Russet Potato Chips to snack on? They're really good!

[Karen]

Well, blueberry juice is more purple than blue, anyway!

[Lady's Human]

Richard, you forgot one item on the menu:

Deep fired pork. (locally known as city chicken, breaded seasoned and deep fried pork pieces)

You can't have a proper political "party" without something to grease a few palms.

[Lady's Human]

Who's the stiff hanging from the chandelier?:eek:

HEY ORC!

That's NOT what hanging chad means! GET HIM DOWN!!!!

[gini]

Could I please have some deep fried pork pieces and some scrambled eggs? And a cup of good strong, hot coffee.

Now that ought to set the day off just perfectly!

OH ORC!! YUCK!!!

[Karen]

Bacon for all, turkey bacon and vegan options available!

Gonna make a pot of tea, anyone want some?

[gini]

Where is everyone? It is far too quiet around here. I guess I will clean up a bit while it is easy to do - no one here.

The food this week was good - and those raspberry mojitos - to die for.

[Pinot's Mom]

Sorry, Gini, I was busy cleaning up at my own house today...couldn't stop by until now. I've got a pizza in the oven and I'll raid the wine cellar; you in?

[gini]

When no one was here I decided to go home and pay some bills. NOW I REALLY need some wine...............thank you!!

[Pinot's Mom]

Pulled out a 2007 Sangiovese from Ingleside in VA - good with the pizza, don't you think?

[Karen]

Just got back from the harvest Supper at my church, and I have some leftover cookies - anyone want some? they are the Brown Sugar Bunnies I usually bring to the Dog park gatherings, as they are dog safe and people yummy - cinnamon and cardamom and brown sugar ...

[gini]

Are the balloons blown up and the streamers attached? Hurry up with all of the goodies because Richard should be here any minute now...........

It is his birthday!!!!

The cake will be here shortly and the ice cream is already in the freezor.

I think being bartender for 454 weeks is pretty magnificent don't you?

[slick]

Oh boy, am I ever up for a b-day partee, especially Richard's. :D Shhh, I think he's turning 40..... :eek: ish.......

Well, technically I'm on vacation for two weeks, so why am I in the office working on a Sunday??? I really need to have my head examined. No Orc, you don't have the right credentials, but take a peek inside my ear anyway. :rolleyes:

One huge DOTD for me please. I'll savour it for my ride home today.

Can I cop a squat on the couch??? Ah, that's better. Where's the LOK??? I have not see him around in a while.

[Karen]

Absolutely pull up a spot on the couch, we have a fire going, and if you hold still long enough, I bet the "Little" Orange Kitty will come and enjoy a lap for a while.

And Lady might even come lean on your knees, too! I'm guessing you'd be willing to rub her ears?

[RICHARD]

Hey, I am a day late and a dollar short.


Let's party......Now I can have a German Choco cake - in moderation of course.

Let's fill up our cups and have a slice?

Done!

[Karen]

You can leave the coconut off of mine, and I'll have some! And I've got good, local cider if anyone wants some!

[Lady's Human]

In the same sentence with German Chocolate Cake?

Is that possible?

[RICHARD]

In the same sentence with German Chocolate Cake?

Is that possible?

I do have a little bit of self control, not much, a little.


Gonna heat water for?


Coffee, tea, a baby?:D

[Lady's Human]

Now maybe the robocalls will stop.

Having a local politician who I can't stand making robocall recordings for a local pol who my co-workers can't stand isn't going to get my vote, guys.

Off to shower, vote and go to the dentist's office...........maybe I should reverse that and shower after I vote.
