Thursdays #117

[catland]

Mario gave me a copy of the keys - so I'll open the place up. Sure seems quiet around here. Any ideas on a DOTD?

[davidpizzica]

No ideas on a DOTD, but I'll put on a pot of coffee and give you a hand straightening up the place. I'm so happy, I could drink anything!!

[lbaker]

In fond memory and a warm thank you to the "House of Orange" let's make Creamsickles! We had them as DOTD last year sometime and they were yummy. Sort of like a Pina Colada but with orange juice instead of pineapple juice. I'll rinse out the blender Julie, can you go out back and grab some fresh oranges off the tree? Get that silly smile off your face David and push that broom

[finn's mom]

I'll take a Creamsicle! Yum.

[Killearn Kitties]

Ooooh, sounds good!! Can I have a little umbrella in mine please?

[wolflady]

I'm up for a creamsickle!
Let's cheer for Kelly and the start of a new pain-free life!

**hugs**
Karen

Gee, Laurie is it THAT obvious??

Sure is handy having an orange tree here at Thursdays. What will they think of next? I just ran across some of my BBQ umbrellas the other day at home.

David - why are you so happy?

Yes - to Kelly - may this be the beginning of better times for you

[RedHedd]

LOL! I was reading a magazine the other day and they had a great idea for a drink called the "Watermelon Bomb." I IMMEDIATELY thought of Thursdays! LOL!

You cut the top off the Watermelon, smoosh up the insides - or gently slice through with a very sharp knife and then pour in the alcohol of your choice - vodka, gin, rum, tequila, etc., chill until time to party ... drill holes in the side to stick in straws (bendy ones would be good for Thursdays), set it in the middle of the party and let the fun begin!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I partook of one of those watermelon bombs once. Not pretty since it's really just straight booze with just a teensy bit of watermelon juice thrown in, but once you get past the first few sips......

Here's to Kelly! <raises glass>

And here's to everyone else who is sick or having surgery or recuperating from something. We just found out that one of our best friends has prostate cancer. They think they found it early enough that they will be able to get rid of it. He's only 52, looks like 45, is finally in a fairly steady relationship with a wonderful girl (he's been looking for a long time and it looks like she just may be "the" one) and has a 16 year old son who recently got his driver's license and is having a blast at his first job - a lifeguard. Life is finally coming together for him after a few rough years....and now this.

Oh, oh....looks like Mario has gotten ahold of some watermelon seeds.....

[lbaker]

It's too hot to cook so let's just do a pot luck thing with various nibblies. I'll start with some crostini with cheeses and some prosciutto. Gee David, your grinning and dancing with the broom instead of sweeping with it is a bit obvious don't you think What a fun idea with the watermelon ReddHedd, Mario will love you for it

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Hi everyone!

4 catnip teas and a large cherry vanilla coke please.
Here's to Kelly! Hope she is pain free real soon!

Mario, stop spitting watermelon seeds at me!!!

Everyone, watch your step. We have a watermelon seed spitter among us.

[robinh]

Can I offer you some hors d'oeuvres?

I have strawberries injected with a little rum and rolled in confectioners sugar or tomatoes injected with a little vodka & tobasco and rolled in kosher salt.

Mom was a barmaid and had some real interesting ideas for little hors d'oeuvres.

[lbaker]

OH WOW! Those tomato things are devine! What a great idea I just may have to steal that one away. Here's another batch of crostini with some wild mushroom & cream topping... goes nicely with the 'maters. Now I want a Bloody Mary. Wait until Oggy-Flute shows up, I bet he'll have some yummy appitizers ooo ooooops! *bump* Gol durn those slippery watermelon seeds
