Thursday 175...There ain't no cure for the summertime blues!

[lbaker]

Okey dokey smokey... speaking of smokey, those are some fine coals you guys have going in that fire pit! Let's not do the whole piggy thing, Richard, leave those freeway pigs alone - that's rather ooky looking if you ask me But a nice braised pork roast with cinnamon, clove and toasted corriander sounds nice aaaaand I just happen to have one I've been braising since yesterday. Taro root is a bit hard to find around here but sweet taters (or yams if you wish) make a nice substitute as a side dish. OK, that's for later on - actually have *shudders* work to do this a.m. Good thing I started the food last night. Strong coffee and some fresh melon for breakfast if you please ~ anybody?? Anyone else awake??

[Randi]

I'm awake Laurie (a good thing you mentioned food, I must go and find something in the freezer - right now!)

I'll try any blue drink you can mix for me, but first .... I'll take a cup of coffee.

Starting a new temp job on monday, so I better party while I can.

A big cheers to Slick's good results!!

**yaaaaaawwwwn** **streeeeetttccchhhhh**

I'm awake...sort of.....
My body is protesting, my eyes are covered with sleeps and even Max is still in bed. I hate these 6:30 mornings. I have to leave here at 8 for my doc's appointment.

So, how about a Spanish Coffee to start of my day. Now that sounds pretty good. I have not made any Baileys for you in a while so will get to that later today.

**walks away singing** This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home.......

[Corinna]

Good morning all, How about a nice warm cup of tea it's a bit chilly here only 47 degrees. I brought some scones and jam for those digging that great pit.
Good luck at the doc's Slick hoping for more good news.

[RedHedd]

Laurie - Coffee and melon sounds wonderful! this morning.

Richard! I'm not surprised

[gini]

I don't mean to offend anyone, but I have a rule I live by. I DO NOT drink
TIDY BOWL drinks. They always look so unappealing.

I asked Richard if he remembered Arthur Godrey and his show from Honolulu.

Richard tried to reassure me that he was far too young to remember him!
Hmmmm, but he remembers Don Ho???? Ho! Ho! HO!

Could I please have a Mai Tai in one of those coconut shells with a big order of onion rings?

[Lady's Human]

Well, if we're not going to use the coals for a pig roast, anyone for some toasted marshmallows?

Thanks Richard,
When it happend the first time Dad was in OK and he laughed his butt off! Now he's home so the kids think they have their human jungle gym back, lol.

How about some nice muffins and coffee this morning!

What are you guys wearing? LH, put your eyes back in your head it's not that bad is it?

[gini]

Redd - what in heaven's name are you wearing? You look um..........lovely?
Don't give Slick any ideas, she will show up at the airport next time wearing something like that. It is so embarrassing to pick her up at the airport.

Who brought the baby powder in here? Mario is headed for it - and he will go right for the rafters and dump it all over us.

A nice Bailey's and coffee to start the day.............please.

[Karen]

Bringing in a great big cake, snatching the baby powder away from Mario as I distract him with a balloon. Note to self: never let AxelNo and Mario be in the same room at the same time!

Now, why the cake? Balloons? See here!

You forget, I'm in San Francisco - there's almost NOTHING we haven't seen here of course, some natives also walk around in nothing, but I stay out of those neighborhoods most of the time

Rest easy Gini. I don't foresee any LA trips for me anytime soon.

Just finished moving a bunch of PCs around and I'm hot and sweaty. Could certainly use a fireman to cool me down..... In the meantime I could use some ice water and some lunch. I've got salad today but I'll be visualizing that it's big ol' fat cheeseburger...

Mario, how about you and me lighting the candles on the cake???
