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!)
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!
...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! :)
I raise my glass to Little Ricky! His mom was, and is still one of the funniest women in comedy.
Quoth the Raven(s) Nevermore.
Sunday night they're going to be black and purple, but not because of their unis......
:p
That's right. The kind of black and purple they're gonna be wearin' they're gonna need a long soak.
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

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:Quote:

How about we order dinner from the Naked Fish? It's a MA restaurant that specializes in Cuban/Carribean dishes.
I blush to think of naked fish!
....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!
I'd like to ask everyone to join me in a drink in memory of my dearly departed Fannie Farmer cookbook. :(
What happened? Did it finally fall completely apart?
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.
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:
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!Quote:

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.
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.;)Quote:

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.
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:
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.Quote:

And yes, Happy Birthday! This calls for cake! Chocolate, spice or vanilla, what's your preference?
Randi, the parsnip roots will make excellent mashed 'taters.
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
Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. Oh, chocolate cake for me please!!! and a cherry root beer. :love:
If I ever dress as a woman, would I have to wear a Freudan slip?Quote:
