I hope he can clean house too!

If you are lucky, he'll also put the toilet seat down....:D ;)

Julie, you talked me into it. Lunchtime here anyway so I can play for a few minutes. So what kind of fish is this anyway? It's really quite good. Thanks.

Weather here is purrfect. Not a cloud in the sky and a high of 20...oops, that 70 in your language. Everytime the sun shines, I think of Gini's back yard. Oh, I can hardly wait to meet you. I wish all the Thursday crowd could be there. Richard really is a great bartender.

Eeewwww....sorry, not much of a fish eater and fish tacos have just always sounded like the grossest thing in the world to me. I'll stick with the plain old ground beef ones if you don't mind. :)

Time for a slushie for me. Sorry but all that beer is making me bloated and I hate that fat finger feeling. :p ;)

It's 62 in sunny downtown Chicago right now, and probably closer to 70 at home since it's always "cooler by the lake" you know (Sara are you listening? Remember "cooler by the lake"?) ;) F i na l l y we're starting to warm up around here. Then of course, it's supposed to hit mid 80s this weekend. From the 40s to the 80s, yup, must be in the Midwest. :rolleyes: :)

Debbie...you are making me homesick! It is warmer today in Chicago than here in SoCal......:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I prefer shrimp enchiladas con queso actually so let's have platters with both, and extra salsa, and quacamole, and sour cream, and... and... mas cervesa! Margaritas! yiyiyiyiyiyi!!!

Freeze warnings last night. 53 right now. Expect 80 on Sunday :rolleyes: :confused: Probably go right from Winter to hot sweaty Summer and skip Spring altogether :mad:

Oh, that sounds absolutely wonderful....but can you please pass me a bib? :rolleyes:

Laurie, in the dinner thread you spoke about chicken breasts stuffed with cheese and spinach. I want the recipe please. What else is in it?? Email me sister. :)

Debbie, I know what you mean. Decades ago I used to be able to down 6 beer, no problem. Now, I only drink beer at the cyber bar.

T&P, I love chorizo! When I lived in Texas, all the Chevrons had the Hispanic women cooking up eggs and such to go in breakfast burritos. That's how I discovered it. I would get eggs, potatoes and chorizo in mine. I still miss that and it's been almost 10 years. I really don't know why Florida doesn't do this since we have so many Hispanics. I also wonder if they still do it in Texas?

We'll just got a news we can stay at the house we got for a month. I now am no longer homeless or internetless.

Congrats Corinna! Nice feeling, isn't it???

Well, I've had a long day and I've only been home for about 20 min. I'm just going to grab a sushie and relax a bit before making dinner.

One of these days my life HAS to slow down!:rolleyes: Maybe not until July though.

One good thing though....I got my income tax refund in the mail. Yeah....I few more tuppence to put in my travel fund.:)

G'day everyone, just popping in for a quick beer.:) Though I might have something stronger, a trip to the dentist has left me a bit frazzled.:(

Hhhmmmmmm.............Kippers...............It's been so long since I've had a good kipper. (Carole doesn't like me having them, too stinky apparently:rolleyes: ) so I think I will join Karen having a kipper.:D Errr, you can keep the haggis.;)

Kippers, herring, cod... poison anchovies YECH. Almost any other seafood and I'm THERE. I'll even eat calimari (squid) if it's cooked properly and has butter and garlic on it. Well, I would even eat rubber bands if you put butter and garlic on it :rolleyes: . Gini gets back on Sunday so how can we combine a Mexican Irish meal with drinks for the occasion? Oh, such a dilemma :confused: Happy Friday everyone!

Yes knowing every night where you will be laying your head down at is indeed a great feeling. Not having to get rid of any of the kids to do it was even a better plus.
Although I'm afraid Merlin has had a huge set back on his health Not sure he is going to make it back from this one. Working on it but just not sure.
I'm off to work , only onee more week until we open for the maddness of tourist season.
Mario , make sure that every one gets aslushie on me to day.

MMMM... *drool*
That's one of my favs though I've never had it any way other than breaded.


Hate to *drool* and run ( ;) ) but I've got a term paper due at midnight and, believe me, I'll be pushin' the deadline.

On Monday this semester is COMPLETE!!! (And not a moment too soon!)

Sorry to hear about Merlin.:( Hope he gets to feeling better soon. He will be in my prayers.

I was thinking a big batch of spicy irish stew would be ok for Gini.:) Wash that down with a margaritta and top it off with a guiness.:D

It's a bit early for me being saturday now, so think I'll just grab a nother cup of tea, oh and maybe another kipper that everyone loves so much.:)

Merlin will be in my thoughts this weekend Corrina.

I was into the thread until SOMEONE mentioned ground beef tacos....:eek: ..;)


I think a side trip to one of the local taco shops is in order...

Chorizo con huevos, frijoles con queso and warm corn tortillas...

Chorizo and eggs, beans with some sharp cheese....

MY day is made.......
How is everyone today??

LOLOL,,,,
Last weekend we had a great 5/5 party. a few houses down......Mariachis and people singinG!!!


Mario! Come give me a hug???

DONE!

Oh oh ceviche over here please!!Is there a slushie to go with that?

Why have we done nothing but talk about food this week? I'm trying to loose a few pounds for the summer!

Happy Mothers Day to all us "muvvas"! Wouldn't you know that the first person to say that to me was the "bad" step-grandson Travis when he walked in at 7:30 this morning :rolleyes: he came into the living room with his puppy eyes and gave me a hug. Go figure. Am I supposed to cook today? I think I'll just have another coffee & Kaluah and thunk about it somemore. Oh by the way, today is also VE Day, Victory in Europe. Then there's VJ Day, Victory in Japan. Good thing we never fought Denmark :o

Laurie, I'm glad we didn't either!!

Hi, Corinna welcome back to the internet and Thursdays! I'm glad you have a place to stay. I'm also sorry to hear about Merlin I hope he gets better. A slushie sounds real good right now.

Let's have a collective DONE! for everyone and Hppy Mum's day....

RICHARD, I second that motion!

Cheers David, I haven't seen you in the bar lately.:)


Denmark.............:D :D

*knock, knock* Anyone home? *tip toes into an empty bar, holding the Kissiekat*

I just finished the final from hell ( :( ) and am going to help myself to a strawberry smoothie 'n relax a bit, if that's ok.

Now... where's the blender? Do you see it K'Cee?

Hey Zippy! I can relate to the final from hell so here, let me help you with that smoothie. The blender is behind the bar to the left, do want ice cream or frozen yogurt in your smoothie? There should be plenty of strawberries left since Mario is a cherry man.

How long before your next class starts again?

Good grief, I am gone for a few days and just look (and smell) what you all have done to this bar!

Chorizo - Irish Stew - Guiness - tacos - calimari - and what are those things stacked in the corner?

Laurie, are you collecting mattresses?

Congrats to Zip on her final!

Richard - great to see you here where you belong.

I have missed those DONES!

Slick, you are working too darn hard - get over here and drink with the best of us!

Tell us all about your trip Gini! Did you bring us presents? :D

A BEAUTIFUL AND LUCKY GREEN SHAMROCK FOR EVERYONE!:D :D

How thoughtful! Thank you so much. I will tuck mine in my buttonhole. Glad you are home safely.

Welcome back, Gini!! Hope you got some new drink ideas for us. Something besides green beer that is....I've never been able to stomach green beer. Maybe Guiness as DOTD? I've always loved a good pint of Guiness. :D

Thank goodness you are home safely, I was afraid you would be kidnapped by white slavers or something :eek: You rest up and finish unpacking and don't even think about lifting a paw to clean up from our weird food combo's from last Thursday. Welcome home. :cool:

WOW! THANKS!

I'll put it with my collection of 4-leaf clovers. I have about 10 that I've found over the years!

WELCOME HOME!!!!! WE MISSED YOU!

Mario saved some of his cherries just for you. They are a mite squashed now but the intent was sincere!:D

Welcome back Gini, sorry for the mess, I guess things just got out of control.:D (all that guiness you see)
