Thursdays #465 - Happy Birthday to Little Ricky!

[cassiesmom]

It's "Little" Ricky Ricardo's 59th Birthday! He was born on the episode that first aired on January 19, 1953. So ... I'll open up with a toast to one of my very favorite comediennes! I :love: Lucy! (Must admit I'm toasting with a cup of tea because it's cold out in Chicago today!)

[slick]

I was sick yesterday otherwise would have posted sooner. Yes, a toast to Little Ricky.

We are still in a deep freeze up here and today will bring us snow and freezing rain. Pretty ugly.

One Spanish Coffee please. Brrrr!

[Pinot's Mom]

...slammed at work...popping in before the next interviewee comes in...HAPPY PURPLE FRIDAY, Y'ALL!! (only some will know what that means - GO RAVENS!)

A toast with water right now - check back after work! :) My last interview before hiring! :)

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

I raise my glass to Little Ricky! His mom was, and is still one of the funniest women in comedy.

[Lady's Human]

Quoth the Raven(s) Nevermore.

Sunday night they're going to be black and purple, but not because of their unis......
:p

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

That's right. The kind of black and purple they're gonna be wearin' they're gonna need a long soak.

[pomtzu]

Just so I'm not black and purple from falling on the ice that's coating the great outdoors right now. The snow has changed to freezing drizzle! :eek:

Coffee anyone??? - with Baileys??? Son picked up Baileys with a hint of mint chocolate. It's delish! :D

Hey! None of that! Look what happens when I pop out for a little while, all this trash talk on my Ravens! :rolleyes:

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?! Barkeep - set 'em up, even for those New England fans. Munchies at the ready - let's go RAVENS!:D

[Edwina's Secretary]

Does anyone remember the singing group that "Little Ricky", Dean Martin Junior and some other guy had? Oh! I had such a crush on them! Anyone remember the groups name?

I don't think they had a name, other than Dino, Desi & Billy, did they? :confused:

I will say this, it was a very close game. The Patriots were very lucky. Even Brady said so. I don't have any fingernails left.

It definitely was a good game! I wore purple yesterday, wishing for Ravens good luck, but it didn't work - darn!!!

Maggie - you can come out now. Besides - you'll have a lot to celebrate TOMORROW! :D

Dino, Desi, and Billy

[Edwina's Secretary]

A Cuba Libre in honor of Ricky's heritage?

[Lady's Human]

How about we order dinner from the Naked Fish? It's a MA restaurant that specializes in Cuban/Carribean dishes.

[Edwina's Secretary]

I blush to think of naked fish!

[Pinot's Mom]

....OK....I'm back....:( No Ravens in the Superbowl. I know, I know, it was still a good season, and Ellie, you're right - tomorrow's going to be a VERY GOOD DAY! I may be under the weather, but I'll enjoy having our house back!

Barkeep - I'm still buyin'! Vodka & Diet Ginger for me, and some leftover onion pudding from yesterday's game? Anyone? Good stuff!

[Lady's Human]

I'd like to ask everyone to join me in a drink in memory of my dearly departed Fannie Farmer cookbook. :(

[Karen]

What happened? Did it finally fall completely apart?

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Yup, he lost the pages for the baked ham. Very sad.:( I think it's in about four pieces and several pages in the cupboard.

[slick]

RIP dear cookbook. I know the heartache only too well.... :(

Well, only 5 more days to go before retirement. Could I have my usual please? A bloody mary with a lemon wedge and celery stick???

Happy Tuesday to everyone. :cool:

[Lady's Human]

Death of a cookbook that was a wedding present.... But it died from use, so it's not too hard to take.

What's more irritating is buying a new one. I wish they made a spiral bound version, it would last longer.

Bird, take it to a local print shop in Binghamton, if there is one that's been in business for a while. They can cut off the binding, and drill holes and make any book spiral bound for ya!

And Slick, any special retirement treats we should start prepping for you?

[RICHARD]

Hi everyone,


Let me put on an apron and start to pour.

It's been a hectic few weeks and things are really looking up, for once.

Let's have a drink and a long sit in front of the fire.

Done.

[Lady's Human]

I beat you to both, had a bottle of wine with dinner and sat in front of the fireplace.

I love quiet days off. Just wish the cookbook hadn't died.

A Kentucky state trooper pulled Richard over driving a pickup on I40. State trooper said "Got any ID" to which Richard replied " 'bout what?" (I think he's fitting in nicely.... :) )

Sorry Richard, just a little redneck humour. No intention to offend. I'm in a goofy mood tonight.

I'll take a DOTD whatever that is.:cool:

Bite me.;)

There is no I40 in Kentucky, you must mean I-64.:D

----------

I'll make you a BM with a prawn hanging off the side amd LH gets a refill.

Let's mourn the loss of the cookbook.

[Lady's Human]

If Richard doesn't have any Id, we're all in trouble.

His ego is enough as it is.

(sorry, freudian humor, couldn't resist.)

A toast to MOFF'S birthday today!! Have a great day MOFF!!:love:

[Randi]

Well, I accidentially bought parsnips instead of parsley roots, so I'm cooking parsnip roots along with potatoes to make mash. I hope it will taste OK. I don't think I've tasted either of them before.

A toast to MOFF and Happy Birthday - have a wonderful day! :love: Cheers!

Slick, did you get your horoscope for today? ;)

You've never had parsnips? They are similar to carrot, but even sweeter. I am sure it will be yummy, just different than the parsley root.
Grandpa always grew parsnips.

And yes, Happy Birthday! This calls for cake! Chocolate, spice or vanilla, what's your preference?

[Lady's Human]

Randi, the parsnip roots will make excellent mashed 'taters.

[Randi]

Thank you, it was yummy! :) I had bought a pre-made dish of stag? to heat in the oven, with carrotts, ??, berries and a divine sauce. On the back of it, there was was this recipe of how to make a good mash to go with it. Other than potato and parsley root, you also put a clove of garlic in, a bit of grated nutmeg and of course, salt and pepper, You should try it!

Karen, I may have had parsnips before, but without knowing what they were. :o

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. Oh, chocolate cake for me please!!! and a cherry root beer. :love:

(sorry, freudian humor, couldn't resist.)

If I ever dress as a woman, would I have to wear a Freudan slip?

:eek:

Let's have another round of drinks, some parsnips and get MOFF a CRB.


Choco cake?

DONE!
