Welcome back Trev!!! You were missed but we looked after sweet Possum today. She was such a good girl and greeted everyone that came into the bar.
One cold beer DONE!
Richard, good to see you here too! Yup, more wood "wood" be good! I can just imagine how you must miss Thursdays during the day! That old lady boss still gotcha down?? Never mind! Sit and relax. Here's a cold beer and the remote. Yup, did I tell you that I had a 32" TV installed?? The remote is programmed for all the sports channels.;) :D Enjoy!! You too Oggy!
Gee Slick, you sure now how to sweet talk a guy.:D A cold beer, a wide screen TV set on the sports channel, and the all important remote.:D
Think Richard and myself will just settle down here for a bit. We can wax lyrical about the phylosphies of sporting greatness while waiting for David.:D
Hey I have a big bottl of bubbles my daughter gave me for Easter can I play too.?
Hey we got cones in for work they have Glacier national park on them I know some PTer's who will get one .HEE HEE.
Well got to go to work now yuk. see you all later May be we can discuss the reworking of the Orlando Magic staff.
Yoo-hoo? Raaaaaaandi? Where are you and your bacon? We're all starving here! Everything else is ready (except the baked beans)!
Can't figure out how baked beans got into the mix but if they are Boston Baked Beans (with molasses and such) they should most assuredly be served with New England Brown Bread.. heated. Woo Boy is that good! *sniff sniff* Bacon?? YUM!! Eating two days in a row is a good thing :D
I am up early this morning............the pups next door started in around 4 a.m. Two maltese and they sound like squeeze toys being squeezed over and over again. Kinda cuts right through your sleep.
Ms. Laurie, doncha know........baked beans are served for breakfast across the pond? Not exactly my favorite either - but oh boy, that bacon beats ours any old day.
Where is Randi????? Is she watching the new television?
Hey, Slick, that was nice of you to get for the bar. I bet the guys just love it.
I hope those pups didn't follow you here Gini. I can do without squeaky toys at any time of the day!
Yes, odd habit to serve baked beans with breakfast, mixes quite unpleasantly with the egg yolk. Add tomato sauce to the mix and ... well, it could put you off your breakfast!
Maybe Randi is trying to get the remote away from Trev? Maybe she is sick listening to the sport?
I'll take 2 eggs over medium with bacon, home fries and French Vanilla coffee! Good morning everyone!
Good morning everyone. Just woke up from the wildest dream ever. I've got to stop eating cheese before going to bed. :rolleyes:
I don't think the TV will be an interference because the guys are on mostly at night, well, except David that is....but somehow I can't see him yelling into the TV. :D
It's hot again here today. Last night when I was driving home, the temperature was 76 degrees. That's hot for us. I'm just going to grab an ice water for now.
Laurie, cone abuse?? I'll have to do a search for that. We need to stop these horrendous acts of violence towards cones.

try goat cheese!
hi everyone...can I haaaave some brekkie to go? see ya'll after work....:rolleyes:
How about if I pile all the things on a bun for you, Richard? Oh, careful, I think the beans might be falling out!!
Here's plenty of napkins Richard. Karen, push those beans back in. We don't want them falling all over Richard's pants when he's driving. How ironic would it be for him to walk into a hospital setting with a brown stain on his pants. :D ;)
And just how would this bun feel about having stuff piled on it's head? I'm sure it would just prefer parsley... or yogurt raisens :confused:
It is clear that we are all in rare form this morning!:D :D
I was thinking the same thing, Gini. :D I was afraid to hop in thinking that might ruin the banter.Quote:

Bacon sounds yummy, American, Canadian or Danish, bring it all on! I'm going to have some blueberry pancakes with lots of butter, just a little syrup and a trio of bacon. Anybody want some?
Anybody got about $30,000.00 to spare? That's all we'd need right now and we could be done with these silly motorhome negotiations.....:rolleyes:
Debbie, make we could raid the barkeep's tip-jar. There must be loads of money in there!
Oh Debbie, you just have to know that if I win the lottery this weekend you can have $30,000 of it. No problem. I guess this means I have to buy a ticket now! LOL
Just running off to work...Karen I'll email you from there. Have fun guys and I'll try to check in before lunch, but no guarantees.
Aww....thanks, Slick, you're such a sweety. :D That reminds me, the Big Game around here is $80,000,000.00 this week so I'll have to make sure I have a ticket also. I'll darn sure share it if I win!Quote:

Karen, I never even thought of the tip jar!! However, I believe instead of me using it for a luxury motorhome that nobody in this world really needs, I think we should raid the tip jar and give the money to Mario and Willie. They need it much more than I do right now. :)
I'll have another coke with all the fixin's please. Oops...forgot our bartender is AWOL these days, I'll just help myself. Anybody else want anything while I'm behind the bar? :)
Hi, I just popped in to see the T.V. I have a doctors appointment right now, but I'll be back to play with the remote!
Hi, everyone!
Look Mario! I found some blueberries for you. I know they are your favorite after cherries. Just remember, you smear them all over yourself again, and it will be a bath for you! What the heck!
Enjoy them any way you want to.
Just going to grab a cherry vanilla coke and 4 cat nip teas please!
And in honor of the up coming Memorial Day weekend (and the kickoff of outdoor grilling season) - a big old chilly dog! ;)
(not a finger in sight either)
**waves**
Hi everyone - just stopping by for a quick hello! I'm on the way to the pharmacy to pick up some antibiotic... my darn sinuses are driving me nuts. Nothing like a spring time cold, eh?
Debbie, let's gather the bunnies and put them in the bar; they'll leave your roses alone and it'll give Possum something to herd! (Just make sure Possum doesn't herd them into the lost and found! ack!)
Everyone have a wonderful (and safe!) weekend!
Ooooohhhh....then we'll have glow bunnies! You know, to go along with the glow worms that are already in there (refer to hospital memo post and hazmat guys). :DQuote:

G'day everyone, just poppimg in for a chili dog and a quick beer.:D I was toying with the idea of baked beans though. Thickly layered on toast, with shavings of cheddar cheese.:p Not a bad snack to have on a cold day.
Possum, Mario, What are you guys watching on TV?
The Bold and brainless!!! :eek: :eek: Turn over to the Iron Chef, it's a lot more entertaining.:D
Hi Trev, Richard and Corinna.
Well, it's 86 degrees as I sit here at 9pm and I feel like a wet rag. The heat and me don't get along too well. However, I suppose it will get me used to the LA weather in July.
No beans for me please....the cats won't sleep with me! :eek: :D
I'm going to grab another cold beer and watch the Iron Chef. It's the best program on the food channel...although I think Richard would disagree. Shhhhh, he's in love with Nigella Lawson! ;)
86 in May you have to be kidding Slick! I thought we were having a heat wave here at 70 today. Is that farenhit or celcus?
Hiya Slick, Corrina, 86degF is starting to get hot. 70 wouldn't be too bad, as long as you don't have any humidity.
Yeah I can see Richard getting into Nigella's show. I best not expand on her only and best attributes.:D The Iron Chef is heaps better, It's like WWF in the kitchen.:D
Ha! Normally I would speak in Canadian language but on here I speak the language of the majority. 86 degrees F. Even the cats aren't eating that much tonight. They are both just flopped on their sides trying to air themselves out. Not an easy task for a Persian.Quote:

Oggy, I swear sometimes I think Nigella's show should be classified as Kitchen Porno. Have you heard the way she describes her Chocolate Cloud Cake??? XXX rated. :D
Never heard of a chocolate cloud cake. Sounds wonderful.
I was curious too, so I looked it up........here it is.
Chocolate Cloud Cake Recipe
Ingredients
8 ounces best-quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, softened
6 large eggs: 2 whole, 4 separated
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cognac or Grand Marnier (optional)
Grated zest of 1 orange (optional)
WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING
1-1/2 cups heavy cream, well chilled
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for sprinkling
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 C). Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with a round of wax paper; do not butter the pan. Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over hot water. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter until melted; set aside.
In a bowl, whisk the 2 whole eggs and the 4 egg yolks with 1/2 cup of the sugar just until blended. Whisk in the warm chocolate mixture. Whisk in the optional cognac or Grand Marnier and the optional orange zest.
In another bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the 4 egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until the whites form soft mounds that hold their shape but are not quite stiff. Stir about 1/4 of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it; gently fold in the remaining whites. Pour the batter into the pan; smooth the top.
Bake until the top of the cake is puffed and cracked and the center is no longer wobbly, usually 35 to 40 minutes. Do not over bake.
Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack; the cake will sink as it cools, forming a crater with high sides.
At serving time, whip the cream with the confectioners' sugar and vanilla until not quite stiff. With a spatula, carefully fill the crater of the cake with the whipped cream, pushing it gently to the edges. Dust the top lightly with cocoa powder. Run the tip of a knife around the edges of the cake; carefully remove the sides of the pan and serve.
Yield: 8 to 12 servings

Yeah it's enough to make it melt, or at least me anyway.:DQuote:
