Sum, Sum, Summertime Thursday #321!

[RICHARD]

Well,

Sunday starts the summer season and I think we are all derserving of some good weather!

We finally got some sunshine and I took a walk around the neighborhood today. Yes, Good Weather is here!

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


How's about an Old Fashioned to start and something simple, like a meat and cheese platter?

:
•1 whole maraschino cherry
•1 oz. Seagram's VO
•0.25 oz. bitters
•1 tsp sugar
•1 splash water
•1 twist lemon
•1 slice orange



In an old-fashioned glass, muddle sugar, bitters and water
Add ice cubes
Add Seagram's VO
Garnish with lemon twist, orange slice and maraschino cherry


DONE?


I want to send MOFF a huge hug today, too!

DONE!

[GILL]

sounds good too me, I like them.

[Karen]

Can I have some strawberry shortcake, or strawberry ice cream? Strawberries are "summer begins" in this neck of the woods, but I am (sigh) now allergic to them.

[Grace]

Requesting the official Block Island beverage - the Mudslide. I'll take the Blueberry version, please -

1/2 ounce vodka
1/2 ounce Kahlua
1/2 ounce Bailey’s Irish Cream
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup half and half
1 cup of ice

In a blender, combine all ingredients. Mix for 30 seconds or until milkshake consistency. Pour in an ice cold glass, top with fresh whipped cream and garnish with a spring of fresh mint and additional blueberries.

I have a sweet tooth today.
How about a tin roof ice-cream Sunday!
Vanilla ice-cream topped with hot fudge, peanuts and whip cream
with a cherry on top. I can feel the pounds adding on! :D

An ice cream sundae Thursday?

DONE!:D

Some strawberry sorbet would rock my world?:)

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

OOoooo Ice cream sundaes! MMMmmmmm……… What should I have? Um, um, um, hows about Ben & Jerry's NY Super Fudge Chunk with some homemade hot fudge sauce and whipped cream. And Richard we could always move the breakfast buffet spread over here so it doesn't get wasted.

Sound good? And I would like an old fashioned root beer float too please.:D

[aTailOf2Kitties]

you mean it's already hot as heck and it's not even really summer yet?:eek:

I was going to go for the Old Fashioned, but then I saw this - BLOCK ISLAND! OMG - I spent a good part of my youth boating (power with the parent, sailing all the rest of the time) to Block! I'll have to have one of those Blueberry Mudslides, then, for the memories! :cool:

Just one, though, then I'll move into the Old Fashioned with the cheese platter - some nice Stilton Blue cheese, maybe Dublin Irish Cheddar, New York Flatbreads, and some sliced pears sound good! :D

I would like to send MOFF some hugs, too...

RICHARD, after all the stormy weather in the Pittsburgh area last night, I think I'll have a mudslide with the cheese platter. Is Orc around? I can get the ole ceement mixer going! BTW, I remember that old song, sum, sum. summertime!

[smokey the elder]

More danged rain!! I don't think it's broken 75 F this whole month. I'll try one of those funky mudslides, though, and I'll raid the food.

NO.....they are still green -I do want to pickle some while they are green.

I found a simple recipe that I posted...It calls for a couple of quarts of them 'maters, but I dont want to raid the tree just yet!

Are you willing to wait a few weeks more? Please?:)

LP,

THanks to you again!

I think David is walking the ORC.....

Two drinks? DONE!

STE,

It was bad enough with the clouds, the rain would have driven me mad by now.

A mudslide and a fork?

DONE!

You sit down and relax, I'll get things rolling.

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

We're on our third day (or is it fourth, I've already lost count) of icky weather here. I don't mind the rain so much because it's good for the garden but I'd like a couple of days of sun in a row so I can do some yard work before my yard looks like a jungle.:(

The little guy graduates from Pre-Kindergarten today. And MJ's last day is Wednesday. AAAAHHHH!! I have to find things for them to do or they'll drive me crazy.

Barkeep, I'd like something sunny to start my day, hows about a screwdriver or if you can think of something sunnier I'll take that.:)

Tequila Sunrise?

Take the kids aside and get them involved in doing chores, praise them about pitching in to keep the house rolling, Before you know it, they will get their own 'to do' list and be really stoked about keeping busy!

I just tossed together some veggies for a shrimp cocktail, I talked the ORC into peeling shrimp!

Crackers, some lemons and limes ------line up!


My brother brought me some cukes from his garden, I tossed some in the SC.......The taste is phenomenal.....A store cuke tastes very metallic, this one tastes like a real veggie!

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Morning everyone! Hope everyone had a great day yesterday. How about some fruit and muffins and bagels for breakfast this morning. With all the fixins and coffee, tea or what-have-you, of course.

[davidpizzica]

LOH, coffee with bagels will hit the spot with me this morning. I don't want to be too filled up because I have physical therapy this morning.

[Pinot's Mom]

I'd love a bagel - toasted sesame with Cream Cheese, please!

There's been this strange thing in the sky the last two days - it's bright, and it's not leaking anything, I should remember what it's called, but I just can't put my finger on it...

:cool:

Just don't stare at it.....get outdoors and ignore it......It will start to get familiar and not so feral?;)

I'll start the waters for cawfee and tea!

One toasted bagel, cc and coffee?

DONE!



David,

You'd think that following that OC around would be excercise enough!;)

Coffee, bagel and a quick session at the therapist!

DONE!

LOH,

IT was a good day yesterday.

Had our 'ball o fire in the sky' all day long.

THanks for brekkie, I do the dishes!:o:cool:

DONE!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

No problem anytime Richard, I'm glad you had a nice day. I'm makin' burgers with onion soup mix, mixed in tonight. MMMmmm, anyone else want some?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

One double and I hope you are feeling better!

DONE!

Well, I'm feeling better about letting my baby go to the Bridge. I really had no choice in that. I couldn't let him suffer. Everyone at Pet Talk has helped so much.

But now am having reactions to meds the dr put me on. So it's back to see him tomorrow. sigh :(

[Pinot's Mom]

mmmm-burgers....can I have one with melted Bleu Cheese on it, please? ...and I think a glass of good Cabernet would be nice with it!
We're taking a break from painting this evening; we can take the kitty on the deck and eat outside! :)

[Karen]

[RICHARD]

I have to say that there are times that I read what people post and I 'go Pavlov'!

Let me get you a plate and a tea? Chai or ????

DONE!

PM,

Bleu and cabernet?

Can't do wrong there! I ate on the patio last night around 7, It was very nice and relaxing!

MOFF,
Glad to see you are doing well, Luck at the doc's and hope it's a simple solution!

DONE?


LOH,
I'll take a burger, maybe we can talk the ORC into flipping them?:D

Done!

I am on an iced tea tear......it's peach and really good ice cold!

ANYONE?

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

I'll take some of that iced tea Richard, that bright orange ball is actually in the sky today.

I didn't wake up early because I wanted to, I woke up early because I still had a munchkin in school but today is her last day, woohoo! Tomorrow I'll be able to sleep until 7am! I know it's not much but I'll take it.

Could I have a blueberry iced tea please? To go with my blueberry cake, there's plenty if anyone would like some. It's kinda like a giant blueberry muffin.
