Thursday 160- Let's burn meat!

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

One LARGE chunk of burned cow, please. Just singe the outside and make sure the middle is warm, please!

Can I make a request for the B-day cake? A black forest cake (and NO mario, you can't pick all the cherries out !)

Here's your black forest cake LH, though I won't be eating any I have my tiramisu, I bought it for myself for Mother's day and it was so good I thought I'd bring one here to Thursday's for those of us who don't eat chocolate cake with cherries in it. YUK!

Richard could I please have something fruity? Any suggestions?

Look what I found! I have this fake flower arrangement hanging next to the side entrance of my house. I have been watching the birds taking straw out of the bottom of it and I thought they were making a nest some place else. When in fact they were building the nest in the arrangement and now I have at least 3 new tenants.

Oggy, I'm not much into lamb chops, but if you could throw some shrimp on that barbie......

Me either - but shrimp, ......... mmmmmm, YUM!!!

Thanks Trev!!

Richard,
Those miners, yep, sure am glad they managed to be brought up out of the mine alive, however, I am getting a little tired of their "show me the money" attitude ......

Cheers

Hi everybody - sorry I'm so late - been so busy.

mmmmm - charred meat. Don't mind if I help myself. How about I put some of those beers in a bucket of ice on the picnic table and people can dive in.

Richard, can I wash down the BFC and dead cow with a pitcher of white russians?

LOH, IF you got the tiramasu from Aiello's you owe me when I get home!

No worries, How about this,

BBQ PRAWNS WITH ASPARAGUS AND PEPPERCORN SAUCE
The delicate flavour of asparagus and the bite of peppercorns make this a great sauce to have with BBQ prawns. If possible, use pink peppercorns - their colour blends well with the sauce so that the bite of the peppercorns comes as a surprise.
Ingredients
· 1kg green prawns, peeled and deveined
· 1 tin asparagus spears, drained
· Peppercorn Sauce
· 1 tablespoon Bertolli olive oil
· 2 shallots, finely chopped
· 1 teaspoon tomato paste
· generous squeeze lemon juice
· 1 tablespoon pink peppercorns
· 1/2 cup cream
Preparation
• To make the sauce, heat the oil in a heavy-based saucepan and add the shallots. Cook for a couple of minutes before adding the tomato paste, lemon juice and peppercorns. Stir well over a low heat until the mixture is well combined and slightly warm.
• Add the cream and heat gently, stirring continuously for a couple of minutes. Keep the temperature of the sauce low when adding the cream to avoid the sauce splitting. Keep the sauce warm while BBQ-ing the prawns.
• BBQ the prawns until they are just pink. Place a few asparagus spears on individual serving plates and top with a generous amount of prawns.
• Drizzle the prawns and asparagus with the pink peppercorn sauce and serve.

Ok everybody, up and at 'em! It's finally Friday, the day Zippy has been waiting for since Wednesday!

Mario, sweety, you definitely need a bath! Were you digging in the pile of worms the birdies left for rent? Someone should have told them that all baby critters can stay here rent free! Hmmm.....maybe we should go fishing again next week since we have all these worms on hand....

Coke for me to start the day! I'm going to get some work done today. I tell you, I'm going to get some work done today, I'm going to get some work done today, I'm going to get some work done today.....well....after I finish checking the rest of PT, finish reading my email, play a game or two of solitaire, check PT again......I'm going to get some work done today??

[Lady's Human]

Fishing again next week? Sounds like a winner to me.

I can never forget LOH birthday, ,it's the day after our country's b-day. Kinda hard to forget that, so SHE OWES ME!!!!!

Is IS Friday and the pink peppercorns are biting

Toss another pink peppercorn prawn on the barbie for me .... try saying THAT three times real fast!

[zippy-kat]

I have no idea what a prawn is but I'm all over the asparagus! Love that stuff!

So, what exactly is a prawn? It's a little dough thingy isn't it... like a teeny-tiny dumpling? (Please, let's not have a re-occurence of the time I asked what a pasty was. Yeah, still have nightmares on that one. *cough*Gini*cough* )

...Ok, maybe not... just took another look at that recipe. So it's a shrimpy thing?


YES!! It's Friday! FINALLY!! And what a good Friday it is... I got a raise ontop of my raise! And, come Monday, no boss for a wk and a half.

Hi guys, do you mind if I just sit here with Logan for awhile? If I remember correctly (although I'm not thinking clearly much right now) at the very first Thursdays, low those many years ago ~ Logan and I split a bottle of very dry white wine. Shall I decant for us my friend? Was that really 160 weeks ago. My, how the time does go. Zipster, I'll save "pasties" until July

prawn = shrimp (relative)

Prawns are good and I think just a little bit larger than a normal sized shrimp.

I'll take a pitcher of Raspberry Vodka Slushies, please. One glass. This pitcher is all mine.

I got 2 boxes via UPS the other day from my brother. He told me to expect them. Little did I know he sent me HUNDREDS of pictures from our aunt (his Godmother) dating back to the early 1900s.

There are pictures of my mom in a graduation cap and gown, her 3 sisters and my mom's boss, Dr. Wells, all with the "thumbs up". I remember as if it were yesterday, and my heart hurts real bad. It was the day my Mom had her last chemotherapy treatment.

*Sigh*
