Time for me to whip up a few batches of pumpkin bread. I'll make extra for the crew at the bar! :D
Blue's pumpkin pie martini sounds like a good way to wash some down.
Oooh-the patrons are overrunning the bar! I'll have one of everything, plus some of the biscuits Pinot is kneading in my lap as I type (yes, I'm home today)!:)
Hi. I always read Thursdays. How do I join?
I truly need a pick me up.
The fee is one joke.
After that, the virtual drinks are on the house, just watch out for Orc, Little Orange Kitte, Lady, and the rest of the menagerie. (Stay away from the L+F :eek:)
Yum...all things pumpkin. I'll have a pumpkin muffin and some coffee for now.
I'm not feeling real jokey these days but hows this:
A man without a woman is a bachelor, a woman without a man is a genius!
You're in, Queen of poop! That joke definitely qualifies. I'll join you with a coffee and a BIG piece of pumpkin pie!
mmmm.... I love pumpkin! Give me one of everything on the menu so far, and don't skimp in the whipped cream!:p
And a nice mug of hot chocolate to go with it, please:)
Welcome to the bar, Queen! My kitties all join me here, and they say feel free to pet them any time you like :rolleyes: ;)
Its been a while since I posted a joke, so in honor of my friend the firefighter (because firefighters are so awesome lol) :
:D :D :DQuote:
One dark night outside a small town, a fire started inside the local chemical plant. Before long it exploded into flames and an alarm went out to fire departments from miles around.
After fighting the fire for over an hour, the chemical company president approached the fire chief and said, "All of our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved! I will give $50,000 to the engine company that brings them out safely!"
As soon as the chief heard this, he ordered the firemen to strengthen their attack on the blaze. After two more hours of attacking the fire, the president of the company offered $100,000 to the engine company that could bring out the company's secret files.
From the distance a long siren was heard and another fire truck came into sight. It was a local volunteer fire company composed entirely of men over 65. To everyone's amazement the little fire engine raced through the Chemical plant gates and drove straight into the middle of the inferno. In the distance the other firemen watched as the old timers hopped off of their rig and began to fight the fire with an effort that they had never seen before.
After an hour of intense fighting the volunteer company had extinguished the fire and saved the secret formulas. Joyous, the chemical company president announced that he would double the reward to $200,000 and walked over to personally thank each of the volunteers. After thanking each of the old men individually, the president asked the group what they intended to do with the reward money.
The fire truck driver looked him right in the eye and said, "The first thing we're going to do is fix the dang brakes on that truck!"
Thank you DJF, from all of Phred's PetFamily.....!!!! :D ...and all FierFiters evberywhere!!! Welcome Queen!!! Let' us see... hmmmm, 339 Thursdays.

Ahhh, what a lovely place. Good place to hide away from your troubles. Pumpkin pie, my very favorite, could I get another piece dear sir?? As I sit on the floor like a good cat mom as Mr. Diego has taken my chair.
**waves** Hi everyone!
QofP - glad to see you here. You know, in this virtual bar, there are no troubles, no tears and of course, we leave our judgements and attitudes at the door. You will find that this is quite addicting and the great thing about it is that you can eat all you want and not put on any weight!!!:cool: Cop a squat, relax and enjoy!:)
Lordy B, is that Laurie B???? How are ya doing kiddo??? I know, I owe you a phone call - this Saturday hopefully cause I have to work Sunday.
No pumpkin stuff for me but I would love a nice big greasy cheezeburger with all the fixin's - heavy on the cheeze please. Oh yes, and some onion rings to go with it. An ice cold beer would be good too! Ta!
Let's all say a prayer for MOFF's Winnie's return. She's been away too long.:(
It's 50F and raining tonight in Chicago ... could I have coffee, please? No, wait, I'd better have decaf.
Pumpkin biscotti, anyone?
Pumpkin Pie Biscotti
(source: http://www.christmas-cookies.com)
Makes about 96
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup mashed canned pumpkin
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1-1/4 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl; stir well. In another bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla, stirring well with a wire whisk. Slowly add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. (Mixture will be very crumbly; it will gradually become moist after stirring.) Melt butter n a large skillet over medium heat; add macadamia nuts. Cook, stirring constantly, until nuts are browned. Remove from heat and cool completely. Knead or gently stir cooled nuts into dough. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 portions. Lightly flour hands and shape each portion into a 1 x 15" long log. Place logs 3" apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake for 23 minutes; cool logs 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300. Cut each log diagonally into 1/2" slices using a serrated knife. Place slices on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks.

Which would explain why Lady has taken a sudden interest in the chair.
Lady, Kitties ARE okay here, I promise.
Why don't ya go lean on QoP for a bit, looks like she could use it, and be good for a change. Introduce yourself to Mr. Diego NICELY!!!!!!
Just because there are 96 biscotti doesn't mean you get 90 of 'em, Lady.
I'll take you up on that pie offer, Richard, and I'll have a coffee as well. Pumpkins get et, not drunk.
Fiur Jokes ... :p
Q: If H20 is on the inside of a fire hydrant, what is on the outside?
A: K9P
:D
You get a double for that one!
DONE
LH,
I have to laugh at your "Et, not Drunk" comment.
One of my little kittehs has the runs and I mentioned that to a friend tonight, She told me that feeding it some real pumpkin will get him 'together'.
Who woulda known Pumpkin is a magical gourd, a pie and a drink.....
Quick!
Call the FDA!:eek::)
Coffee and pie?
DONE!
And just remember......
Pi are square, not round.
Good Morning, y'all (I know, I'm not supposed to use those regional terms, but that's another thread!;)) - I'd like some pumpkin biscotti, and we have some pumpkin spice coffee up and ready! Help yourself! :D
Thanks Lady, nothing like a dogger cuddle to make you feel all warm and safe. Diego doesn't mind doggers so long as they don't try to eat or stomp him!
Being that it's Friday morning and there's been no tears yet today I'd like to celebrate with a hot cup of tea please.
One cup of hot tea, as requested.
Lady' doesn't dislike kitties, she just tries to herd them. :p
Excuse me but I don't think LH's roots are square. Why look at my roots - I'm English, Irish and Scottish. ;)
Yes Richard, get yourself a can of 100% pure pumpkin and if you can't find that get some vanilla yogurt. Either one should do the trick.
One hot of cup tea over here too please.
Queen - one day at a time girl. It will get better and before you know it, you'll look back on these days as a very bad memory and not think of them again. {{{hugs}}} :love: Show that pretty smile for the rest of the day, OK?
If you put a watermelon into a box, it will grow into a cube!
I'll have one of those pumpkin martinis. The drama llama has visited work, and I need fortification!:p;)

Pumpkin Martini?
DONE!
Slick,
Have you been talking to my friends?
LH,
What about 'curly fries'?:confused::D
QoP,
The usual rule is "there's no crying in Thursday's", but we let that rule slide.
DONE!
PM, thanks for taking over the morning shift for the "right coast'.
Hi, everyone! Hi, QofP! It's chilly and rainy here at the home in Cabot. I'll be starting physical therapy in about an hour and I can use a big coffee with Baileys and I can help you out with that biscotti. I just want to let everyone know that I'm still alive here at my new home.
I have a bad October Friday joke for everyone...
Why did the ghost go into the bar?
For all the BOOOS!
:):)
boooo PM,
QoP, just so you know like LH says Lady doesn't dislike kitties she just likes to herd them because she believes kitties have a place where they belong. I don't know where that is exactly but there it is.
Richard, I would like some pumpkin spice coffee and some of that biscotti please, it's a little rainy and raw here I could use something warm.
There's not a too bad (for cheap anyway) dry white wine I sometimes buy called "Herding Cats". I buy it mostly for the label :D
Well Richard, I can tell you it's Friday and there's been no crying today....so far.
Thanks all for the awesome hospitality here. Never a finer place have I been.
Just disregard the mess around the bar.
We never did get around to cleaning that......:rolleyes: (Oops, forgot to tell you.......disregard the seement mixer, too......we use that for drinks sometimes)
One takillya two takillya three takillya FLOOR!.......
Kinda takes any ambition to clean right outta yer system.
LH, does the seement mixer still run? Maybe store it for the winter.
One Bailey's and coffee, biscotti and a good session.
DONE!
PM,
I know enough to put my drink down before I read any thread.:D
LOH,
Pumpkin spice and biscotti.
Done!
I would like a few more rainys out here...this weather is pretty goofy.
Hi Laurie,
A glass and a butterfly net?
Or what do they use to herd cats?
DONE?:confused:
QoP,
You made it this far........midnight's the cutoff.
You lurked but never came into the bar? You can't leave now.
LH,
LOL, I pulled up the carpet strip between the front room and kitchen a while ago.
I swapped out 8 tiles and took a rest........Now I'll have to change the rest.
Yes, it is hard to get motivated.
Come on, it's friday......Shots, dude.
