I was strolling thru the park one Thursday #430

Okay, lunch service is going to have to wait, my lap has been viciously siezed by a cat demanding attention, and my right hand has been appropriated by a dog demanding the same.

Ingredients are all behind the bar, though.

That is one of the best possible reasons for lunch to wait! While you are delivering attention, LH, I will put some franks and burgers on the grill. It's a pretty big grill so I will do a few vegies too. Could someone please pass me a bottle of water?

[Pinot's Mom]

Richard, I have news for you, we don't actually BUY chili peppers; we GROW them! Much less expensive that way. Our salsa is all home grown. You'll have to get yourself a garden.

Anyway....breakfast? Coffee's on, brought some baklava (turkish); I know it's not healthy, but it's GOOD. There are also some sundried apricots (really good). Help yourselves!

[Lady's Human]

Orc, take care of the water for the griller, willlya?

DON'T PUT OUT THE FIRE!!!!!!

Baklava's good for you, it has nuts, honey, those are good for you!

As I can't get any work done outside today (the ground is a saturated sponge), we're going to a baseball game.

Should the world come to an end while we're at the game, could someone shoot me a PM and let us know?

Thanks.

Well, still here....Life goes on!

Moo,

I was thinking about Phred the other day. I saw a fire engine on the street.

CM.

More dogs and burgers? And a water.

DONE!

PM,

One of the saddest things about moving was having to let my garden go to seed.

I had a huge tomato plant, peppers, bell and chili, green onions and a pumpkin plant that was getting HUGE...

None of the tomatoes made it to the kitchen, I ate them off the vine.

[gini]

Well, be patient and I will be able to share our home grown heirloom tomatoes this year.................

we have Abe Lincoln, Paul Robeson and Clint Eastwood..............

so far the Clint Eastwood looks the best - strong - lots of buds already.

Just grabbing a cherry root beer. We have rain moving in again. sigh
Also under a tornado watch until 9 pm. I am so sick of the rain. At least we are blessed that it's not snow.

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Ooh, is the grill still going? I brought some little neck clams for steamers and lots of butter. Maybe we can get LH to make some clam fritters and onion rings too.

Clam cakes and steamed clams with butter?? Count me in - and you'd better have bushels - I can eat my weight in steamed clams!
If you ever want to try a different recipe for clam cakes, check out the one I posted for Rocky Point clam cakes in the recipe thread. They are awesome!

[Pinot's Mom]

First of all, I know Pom's approximate weight-eating that many clams isn't that big of a deal. Second; CLAMS??? STEAMED CLAMS WITH BUTTER? I am SO in!! Keep them coming with Chardonnay, please?

[Lady's Human]

Sure, I go outside to mow the hayfield and I come back to find I'm behind the grill again?

Okay, but we're doing 'em my way........steamers over a firepit, and the clam fritters done there as well.

Orc, stand by with the super soaker, willya? Don't want the fire to get out of control.

Too bad the bar isn't at the beach. You could do an old fashioned clam bake. Dig a deep hole - throw in some clams and lobsters and seaweed, and cook that way. I don't think Orc could spoil that - or could he???

[Lady's Human]

Breakfast burritos anyone?

[K9karen]

Yes on everything for me! Too bad, I just had a lumbar epidural, so I'm gonna chill (with a chilled beer) and watch you all do your stuff. I'll bring my appetite. I'm starving.

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

How's about some burgers and dogs? Those I know I can cook on the grill. Maybe a rootbeer float for desert?
