Memorial Thursday Weekend #380.

Randi posting about jam, gave me the hungries..........

I've been living on bland and blah for a month since that nasty food poisoning, so I was craving something bad. I found I still had some hot pepper jelly that I made ages ago, so indulged with some on crackers. It makes a great chicken glaze, too. It is soooo good - hot but sweet, and I swear it got hotter sitting in the pantry all this time. I only ate a little - didn't want to overdo - so there's plenty to go around if anybody would care to share some with me. A beer to wash it down would probably be good - if you like beer. I don't, so I'll take anything you care to mix up Richard. Thanks! :)

Works for me - sort of. Can you just make it a wine cooler or Sangria?? Sorry - don't mean to be picky, but gin and/or vodka gives me a whopping headache unless it's very much diluted and disguised! :(
Thanks Buddy!!! :):):)

Here in The Dog House, alcohol not only has no calories, it has no unpleasant side effects, either!

Meanwhile, we've got a thunderstorm rumbling through, not a bad one, but just a nice "it's summer" kind of storm.

Maybe it's time for the first s'mores of the season, barkeep, does Orc have the fire going?

Of course,

The ORC loves fire!

Let's five Mother Nature a chance to move aside?

DONE!

Pom,

Like Karen says.....anything is good her in the bar, just in case, you can have one of each!

DONE!

Tomorrow is the Indy 500 so need chili dawgs and root beer for that!!! :D

I'm so tired and my knees are hurting awfully but I'm happy. My cuz came down and took me to lunch and we went to the cemeteries. Got to go peek at Dad's grave. The flower I sent was there :D along with one my stepsisters put out for their mom who shares the same plot.

Now I have a splitting headache from the sun so could I have a root beer and aspirin now? :love:

Root beer and an aspirin.

Nice to hear about your flower.


DONE!

Chilidogs tomorrow.

Chili dawgs, cole slaw, chips and drinks?

done

Can I get a burger and some chili on the side? I never could manage consuming a chilidog without getting it all over myself, and I like the shirt I'm currently wearing!

Come this time of year, when on some days I can smell grills going and the distinct tang of charcoal lighter fluid on the breeze, I do miss having a good burger. Thankfully, here at Thursday's everything is allergen-free!

Wonder if the party is winding down for the day in Findlay, let's have some watermelon, too. If we can find one with decent seeds, I'll change you all to a seed-spitting contest! They seem to only sell the seedless (or theoretically seedless) nowadays, so I miss that!

LOBSTER BIB!!;)

Karen,
You would pass out in California. If it's not the forest burning that you smell?
It's someone cooking.


I mentioned the store that I go to puts a giant BBQ in the parking lot and cooks chicken, this grill is about 5 feet by 3...

Today, I made the turn towards the market, down an alley? I could smell the chicken three blocks away!

I am going to say something that sounds racist?

Mexicans make the best BBQ!;)

In the poorest parts of Tijuana, they either cook off a propane tank-the kind you see on a gas grill or they BBQ.....

Hand made tortillas, some beans, rice, salsa and marinated skirt steak?:)

DONE!

I'll have a chili dog with a big bib to wear. That way I won't end up wearing my chili dog. Could you slip some sharp cheddar cheese into the chili dog? Could I have some Nacho's to scoop up what ever falls into my bib pocket. I don't like to waste food & a big cold glass of moo juice. Tanks :D

When I went to Tijuana, I was warned - don't eat the food and don't drink the water!!! That was back in the early 60's - have times changed down there??? :confused:

It's yucky hot and humid and too hot to eat as far as I'm concerned. Just us 3 adults today - my grandson is with his biological "mother" for the weekend, and my granddaughter's not here this weekend. She started her summer job before packing it away for college - works at an ice cream shop right on the boardwalk and gets to enjoy the ocean all the time she has to work. Poor kid - I feel so sorry for her. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
So - it's throw some cornish hens on the grill, toss a quick salad, and open up a jar of baked beans, and that will be the extent of our big holiday feast!

A big pitcher of lemonade for me and my DIL, and a couple of beers for my son (if you don't mind uninvited guests), if you could rustle that up, would be great Richard - please. I'll share some chicken with you..........;):D

I have bbq chicken and some potato salad. I'll share.
Could I have a cherry rootbeer, Please???? :love:

Yes you may!

One CRB!

Chikin and PS?

I am there!

DONE!

Pom?

Uninvited guests? They don't need a special pass, they need special treatment!

Beer, Lemonade, simple stuff?

DONE!


I have not been to TJ in years. My parents when often and said some areas have improved. IT's not the food to worry about, it's the drugs/smuggler idiots that need attention. Oh, that and the police down there.

Whew! You all have been busy while I was gone!

Richard:you claim Mexicans make the best BBQ?? I know many who would beg to differ! My ex-neighbor, of another ethnicity, used to start BBQ on the weekends at about 6am. My husband would go out to mow the lawn and come in STARVING, craving BBQ. Heavenly smell!:)

Wom: actually came back with a case and a half of wine from various wineries. Didn't drink it all! ;)

Catherine and QofP: My house is in the middle! Come on by! :)

Pom: glad your tummy troubles are settling down!

Barkeep: I'd like a glass of Pinot to celebrate a certain little one's third birthday (which was Saturday, but she's OK with that)! :D

Are talking about a pit bbq?

That's a lot of work and an early wake up time.

People rate BBQ by how hungry they are.;)

Obne glass of Pinot, happy birthday wish.....DONE!

For some weird reason, I'm having trouble with being depressed today. How anyone can be depressed when they have a kitchen full of kittens is a mystery to me. Hopefully, I'll be better tomorrow when my normal routine starts.

Please make my cherry rootbeer a double? :love:

We have had smoke in the air all day from the Canadian Forest Fires. It's kind of scary how hazy it is, and we are hundreds of miles from the actual fires, which are burning in Northern Quebec.

No barbecue for me, please, bad enough breathing today!

Just some nice iced tea, please, and a gas mask!

MOFF, don't be sad. I'm right here beside you and giving you a great big {{{hug}}}:love::love:

Oh boy, BBQ, chilli, cheeze dogs with the fixins, chicken, onion rings and all the rest - I'll take a boatload of it please. Started back on my diet today and I'm starving. :rolleyes:

Pom - do you feel better??

I wonder if you didn't have E-coli? Hope you get to feeling better.:)

Here's a double CRB, everyone has a pity party once in a while.

IT's trying to keep the guest list and length of your "bash" short.

Hope ya feel better!

DONE!

Karen,

Ice tea and a gas mask! Hope the wind pattern has changed for you!
DONE

Slickm

A Boatlaod!

DONE!


Pom,
I feel your pain, I had a severe bout of it a while back and cannot imagine being sick for as long as you have.

Take it easy one day at a time.

I have a 'friend' named John, too!:confused::o:mad:

Hot fresh donuts anyone?

Me, me, me!

We had our first Krispy Kreme store open in the Valley a few years years back.

The wait to get a drive thru donut was pretty crazy, the lines were more than 30-45 minutes.

Then?

Now? Closed.:eek:

They were making money hand over fist....and I don't know what happened!:eek:

The Atkins craze drove all the krispy kreme's out of business up here.

Krispy Creme was a victim of slightly overexhuberant franchising.........

About 2 years ago they started imploding on themselves. Some of the franchises were making money, but not enough of them.

We would drive by and see the hot donut sign flashing when the kids were pre-teens and we would walk in and they would give you a whole hot donut to sample...it would melt in your mouth.

Wow,

it's a great product, in moderation....I guess sometimes big isn't always better?

Doughnuts give me heartburn :(

But I'd like a chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie instead. . .very large, very soft. MMMMmmmm and a cup of coffee.

Today is termite warfare day!

There used to be this bakery across the street from my house that made the best donuts! I miss them. Stoopid Dunkin' Donuts went and drove them out of business.

All the donut shops/chains are hard to find, now they are mom and pop shops.:eek:

I always preferred Dunkin Donuts to Krispy Kreme. For some reason KK always tasted a little undercooked to me. DD has great coffee at a reasonable price, and their blueberry muffins are to die for. Sometimes I buy a dozen and just wrap them individually and put them in the freezer, altho they are much better fresh.

Will you be home later on?:D

Oh stop with all this talk of donuts. You are making me hungry and I've started back on my diet. :rolleyes:

Richard, I'll take a bottle of water and some celery sticks. I'm about to hit the treadmill - really.......:p

Only 20 more to go and we celebrate 400......... :)
