Labor Day is traditionally the last weekend of Summer.
It's a time to throw the one last party for the season. I am going to declare an 'open' week and see what you all can come up with.
My heart's not into it this week so I am going to let the inmates run the...er, Patrons Run the Store!;):eek:
I want a ham and cheese sandwich and a beer.
DONE.

Triple Sec is a nice 'add-on' to a margarita. It's a really good add-in in cakes and desserts too.
Add a spoon to a piece of pound cake and vanilla ice cream.:D

We haven't said hello to summer yet. I've only had the AC on maybe 6 times this year; too rainy to be called summer. Waaaa! Ok, enuf o' dat.
I'll have a coffee w/Bailey's, please, RICHARD.
Pinot's Mom
09-03-2009, 07:30 AM
Coffee w/Bailey's would be lovely - and some B'day cake, too!!
I'm rather familiar with Triple Sec, we used to use it in mixes when we were younger. Now we tend to stick to the basics.
Richard - get in the party spirit! It's a big weekend for them - we have a 50th for a friend on Saturday & the traditional end of summer party here on Sunday. :D

You got it, RICHARD. My son says he's eyes on constantly burning, so I feel for ya. When he comes to OH next week for a visit, though, and he sees that we're already having autumn weather, he may decide CA is better, although no one wants to see CA burn.

I've been feeling a bit lonesome today for some reason. Guess it's what mom always called the BLUES.
I just hate to think of the cold weather and all the aches and pains it brings. :eek:
So, on that cheerful note:
dusting off the grill for hamburgers and hot dogs with all the fixins!!! Nothing like a good old cookout to lighten the mood, eh? Well, a big juciey burger always helps me any how. :D
I'll share!!!

I am my own barmaid this week and I've had a glass-half-full kind of week. I'm finding that even though I'm not always having fun, life is still moving fast! Since it's a lovely Thursday evening in the Windy City, I'm going to fix myself one of these. Would anyone else like one?
Cosmopolitan
1 shot vodka
1/2 shot triple sec
1/2 shot cranberry juice
1/2 shot lime juice
Add ingredients to cocktail mixer, shake, then strain into a chilled martini glass.

How's about a cup of both?
I made the best soup the other day.
I started with water for ramen noodles and added chopped chikin, celery, onion, cilantro, basil and let that ride until it boiled, I tossed in the noodles and boy was it ever good.
Next time I am going to get some Bok Choy and add an egg to it.

Yes Mz Gini, glad to see hear that you will no longer sweat on the keyboard!!! :eek::D
So my toilet is the wrong colour. Had to take it back and argue with the guy that I need it in Bisque, not Bone. Problem is nowadays you can only get White or Bone. They've done away with all the colours. My bathroom is so small that I hit my boobs on the door turning around.... that being said, the toilet does need to match the bathtub. The saga continues.
So bartender, make it another double for me please. Oh dear there I go again. My Dad (RIP) used to say "never as for another drink - always as for a drink" Sorry Dad.
Hey PM...how was the party????
Pinot's Mom
09-07-2009, 09:01 AM
The party went really well, we had great weather, wonderful food (my husband always does marinated roast beef on the grill for this party, among other things, and people bring dishes, lots of good cooks in this crowd), a rousing game of croquet, a good jam session with all the musicians...just a really good night!
Now, barkeep, a coffee and bailey's with some of the left over desserts from last night sounds like a wonderful breakfast! ;)
Then it's on to the PT party next weekend! :D

Cooler weather is definitely here, and I am loving it, now if the pollen would go away, that'd be even better.
It's always ironic when I log onto weather.com and there's a "High Pollen Warning in Your Area!" - like I didn't know that as soon as I woke up in the morning?
I know, though, that I am more fortunate than the Californians whose city is on fire, and many others, so I try not to grumble too hard!

1 ripe medium avocado
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (2 oz) (or other mild, melting cheese)
Chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, cut into wedges
Method
1 If you are starting with somewhat old, dried out tortillas, great. If not and you are starting with relatively fresh tortillas, put them on a baking sheet and put them in the oven at 200°F for 10-15 minutes to dry them out a bit. It is best to start with tortillas that don't have a lot of moisture in them. Cut tortillas in half; cut halves into 1/4-inch strips. In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry strips in oil, 1/3 at a time, until light brown and crisp. Remove from pan; drain on paper towels. Reserve.
2 Heat oil remaining in saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion in oil 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic and chile; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in broth, tomatoes and salt. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add chicken; heat until hot.
3 To serve, peel and pit the avocado. Cut into 1-inch slices. Divide half of tortilla strips among 4 individual serving bowls; ladle in soup. Top with avocado and cheese; garnish with remaining tortilla strips and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
Serves 4.

Slick, how are your flanges this morning?:eek:
What a thing to ask a girl so early in the day. Specially before you even say Good Morning!!! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/eek.gif http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/biggrin.gif
You know, I really don't think that Slick's flanges are any of Richard's business anywayhttp://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/biggrin.gif
I agree! A girl's flanges are nobodies business but her own!!! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/wink.gifhttp://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/biggrin.gif
LOLOLOL You see, this is why I love Thursdays. I'm sitting here and laughing so hard I'm about pee. You guys really do make my day (thanks Clint)
Sadly, I have no more flanges. I had to take them back. Will try again this weekend.
So Richard, on spanish coffee for the road please. Like everyone else, it's going to take me alot longer to get to work - unlike Mz Gini, that is. :D

Karen,
The weather out here is getting cooler and we have a nice breeze!
I can tell the weather is changing because the cat is sleeping closer and closer!:D

Ok, Ok! Brown the hamburger and onion and drain off any grease. Drian the beans and corn. Dump all ingridents together and cook about 30 minutes! ;):D (or you can dump it in a slow cooker for 4 hours)

MOFF, that sounds wonderful. I'll have to try that when I get off this diet of mine. I'm up 3 pounds....darn scales. They lie don't they?? :rolleyes:
So it's wet and cold here today - just like a fall day. I feel like something warm and comforting. Ah, that's it - Southern Comfort. Richard, I'll take one of them and maybe some of MOFF's soup to warm my old bones.

One good thing about that soup is you can make it as hot as you want. I'm a wimp and use the mild taco seasoning. :D
