    Clambake at Thursdays-217

    Hey everybody! I couldn't wait, it's time for the clambake! Let's see I've got the steamers, lobster, scallops, corn-on-the-cob, plenty of butter and other fixings. Somebody know a good DOTD for a clambake (please, no clamjooz).

    Bloody Marys are good!! It's not really Klam Juz but if a bloody is made with Clamato Juice it's really quite good and not "fishy" at all!!! And freshly made lemonade for those that prefer it. I like to make it with sugar water (similar to that to make Sweet Southern Tea). Hmmmm, how many PetTalkers does it take to make lemonade Plus plenty of beer for the crab pot of course ~

    DOTD should be BEER! A clam bake - I used to go to those with my grandparents and aunts & uncles in upper state New York. Wow! Were they ever fun. They were a benefit for the local volunteer firemen.

    What a hoot they were! One of the years I attended my favorite Uncle had crash landed his small plane. He had made a landing strip in the fields behind their farm. I watched him do this and was beside myself..........until we watched him walk away from the plane. My Aunt put her foot down then, and claimed she was going to plow up the landing strip all by herself. Use the local airport she shouted at him! We were all relieved he was alright.

    He drank beer all day at the Clam Bake and I have never, ever seen my Uncle get so drunk. He really didn't drink! But, he knew he was lucky to be alive.

    So - barkeep - whatcha got to offer in a really good beer to go with these clams and corn - and oh.............gosh, I am drooling here.

    I've never been to a clam bake. I have been up to Door County, Wisconsin for a fish boil, though and the traditional dessert is cherry pie. I hope that will work for a clam bake; I'm starting the crusts now. Be back soon.

    Thanks Smokey, I just hope the stove is big enough for all these pots.

    That's why we built the huge fire pit out back a few years ago. For just such occasions!! It even has one of those strong metal rods to hold pots up over the fire I'll gather some some wood - team work, don't you just love it. (by the way Sara, I can't wait to get home tonight to read every page of KlamJuz again - thanks)

    WOW!

    I'll dig the pit.......When we would make goat or pig it goes into a pit in the ground - like a luau....I think we can pull it off!

    how's about a beach song?



    Rock Lobster -B 52s


    We were at a party
    His ear lobe fell in the deep
    Someone reached in and grabbed it
    It was a rock lobster

    Rock Lobster!!!
    Rock Lobster!!!

    We were at the beach
    Everybody had matching towels
    Somebody went under a dock
    And there they saw a rock
    It wasn't a rock
    It was a rock lobster

    Rock Lobster!!!

    ((High Pitched)) Rock Lobster!!!

    Commotion in the ocean
    His air hose broke
    Lots of trouble
    Lots of bubble
    He was in a jam
    Said the giant clam!!!

    Rock, Rock

    Rock Lobster!!!
    Down, down...

    Underneath the waves
    Mermaids wavin'
    Wavin' to mermen
    Wavin' sea fans
    Sea horses sailin'
    Dolphins wailin'

    Rock Lobster!!!

    ((High Pitched)) Rock Lobster!!!

    Red snappers snappin'
    Clam shells clappin'
    Muscles flexin'
    Flippers flippin'

    Rock, Rock

    Rock Lobster
    Down, down...

    Lobster... Rock
    Lobster... Rock

    Let's rock!!!

    Boy's and bikinis
    Girls and surfboards
    Everybody's rockin'
    Everybody's frugin'

    Twistin' round the fire
    Havin' fun

    Bakin' potatoes
    Bakin' in the sun

    Put on your noseguard
    Hit on the Lifeguard
    Pass the tanning butter

    Here comes a stingray
    There goes a mantaray
    In walked a jelly fish
    There goes a dogfish
    Chased by a catfish
    In flew a sea robin
    Watch out for that piranha
    There goes a narwhal
    HERE COMES A BIKINI WHALE
    ROCK LOBSTER
    ROCK LOBSTER
    ROCK LOBSTER
    ROCK LOBSTER
    The secret of life is nothing at all

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    Cherry pie sounds great. Here's some New England style clam chowder and some clam fritters to get everyone started. Can someone make a pitcher of Margaritas and/or slushies?
