How very droll Slick, we are not amused David, while we are being veddy veddy British let's hear some Brit oldies, but not Beatles... that's just ever so predictable. Eggs are on, and with a last minute inspiration of English Muffins! English Muffins and grits... now that's a fine how-do-you-do Oh well, Bloodies for everyone... my treat.

Maybe some english muffins will improve my sense of humor! How about some Rolling Stones?

David, I won't be going over to join the party. I'm sure it would have been nice, but I am going to meet Lynne (Stankard) tomorrow!! I'm all excited!

Music, hmmm. I saw Elvis Costello the other night in Glasgow. Is that a bit too "current" for our little gathering?

Hi Slick! I've heard from those who know that you are very sophisticated!

[Logan]

Karen! I didn't know you were going to meet Lynne! How wonderful!!!! You guys have a great time, and PLEASE take some pictures of the two of you!!!!

Hey, they don't eat grits in the UK, do they? They should! But, I doubt they'd be dignified enough (heck, the only ones who truly love grits live in the southern US anyway).

Laurie, your Bloody Mary recipe sounds divine, exactly the way I would make it myself, although I've never tried the Old Bay seasoning before. Yummy! My mouth is watering already.

Who have you been talking to and how much did they have to drink???
Karen, please please give Lynne a BIG {{{HUG}}} from me. We've PM'd each other a few times and it seems that we both have the same sense of humour. I would so love to meet you and her. Yes, pictures, pictures, pictures.

Would anyone mind if I lit the fireplace??

Some people garnish the Bloody with a lime, I like to hang a shrimp over the edge of the glass! Just for fun. Maryland IS South of the Mason Dixon Line so I guess that qualifies me as a Southern Belle??? or something

[Killearn Kitties]

I've heard of grits, but don't know what they are I'm afraid. Can you enlighten me please, Logan?

[lbaker]

Light my fire Slick! I have some good, dry apple wood out back...mmmm makes the room smell soooo good. Takes the chill out of the air and warms the cockles of my heart to hear the crackling of the wood don't even go there Slick Give Lynn a HUGE group hug from us Karen!

[Killearn Kitties]

I'll tell Lynne everyone was asking for her if she doesn't drop in today.

Hey there's a shrimp swimming in my drink! What's that doing there?

[Logan]

I actually found a link devoted to Grits!!!!

What are grits?

I liked my grits cooked a LONG time and slowly. When I eat them, I put butter in them, and love those scrambled eggs on the side. Sausage is good too! I also learned a little secret from my mom...a pinch of baking soda in the early stages of the cooking give them a little boost. You just have to be careful not to put too much. When I was a kid, we loved to have grits when we were at the beach because the water was different there and they were just better. With all the water purification systems in place now, beach water is the same as ours now, so the baking soda sort of helps out instead.

[Logan]

Oh, and Laurie, a shrimp on the glass sounds wonderful! I am not a fan of lime in the Bloody Mary. I much prefer a stalk of celery, but I think the shrimp would be great!!!!

Good morning everyone! I've been outside dragging huge tree limbs to the front to add to our brush pile. It's now taller than I am. Don't know when they're going to pick it up. I've always liked this saying for waking up: Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey(bacon) I'm getting hungry! I was eating breakfast at Shoney's one time and this woman didn't know what grits were. I couldn't believe it.

[Killearn Kitties]

Thanks for the grits link. There are even grits recipes for the barbecue there, not just breakfast recipes!

Just saw John Fogerty last weekend. He still sounds the same!

Give Me Shelter Please!

Hand how about just a toasted bagel for me please. And a BIG glass of OJ. I am under the weather today - not sure if it is just those darn allergies, but OJ sure sounds good to me!

[lbaker]

Logan, the pinch of baking soda in the grits was my gramma's "secret" as well! Wait until you taste Logan's grits Val! And I happen to be partial to thick sliced "Bakey" if it's well done Would you do me a favor and kiss Duke on the nose from me? RIGHT NOW

[dukedogsmom]

Ok. Will do. He's just come in from his morning constitutional and is all frisky now. He always runs around like crazy after that. Wish it had that affect on me. I love bacon, too. Can't stand it when it's too thin. Got to go search for some coffee. Haven't even had that yet.
