10/24/2009 Bash On the Boat (I'm with BOB) - Thread #8

[cntkg1]

by the way .. I wanted to type pig a-- but the filter won't let me.

Jay says that's a butt-inine policy!

I seem to have killed the thread with all this talk of porcine rear ends ...

OK kids ... I'm off to get in a few miles of walking. Have a great day (again!).

You didn't kill it B, but have a nice walk. We're off for a walk to the park with Cabo too.

Karen, I think a good old American Grill Out is the way most Americans go today. Lots of hot dogs, brats, burgers, chicken and steaks. Potato salads, coleslaw, the obligatory jello mold, taco dips, raw veggies and dip, baked beans, corn on the cob, and lots of snacks compliment the main dish. Lots of yummy desserts and to finish off the night, we make s'mores over an open fire.

Most cities have 4th of July parades and public picnics too.

The day is ended with tons of fireworks both legal and illegal (ahem, Jeff?). One of the cities just south of us has 3D fireworks!

We crazy Americans sure know how to party don't we?



I'm hungry just thinking about it all.

Sounds like fun Nancy

There are usually fairs and parades and big fireworks displays.

And it seems like everyone has a barbeque ... traditional American fare today would include hamburgers, hot dogs, bratwurst (that's not remotely American! ), corn on the cob, watermelon, apple pie ... BEER!

But everyone puts their own spin on that ... in St. Louis we love to eat pig butt ... so you'll find pork steaks grilling all over the city today. Notice, we don't call it pig butt ... pork steak sounds so much more refined ... but it's the butt and don't let anyone tell you differently!

Pig butt - will you be doing a food report on it for your blog?

I know you're asking Andy but, I have seen meal bars and snack bars in the stores but not the smoothies. We also have slim fast powder and ready made in the can.

Excellent - I like the bars and I can have the powdered shake for brekkie. Thanks Nancy

We're heading out soon to Einsteins. I love my fruit and yogurt parfaits. I'd love to make a stop next door at Starbucks but Lori won't let me have those Lattes anymore. Hey Lori, how about a Skinny Latte??

Definitely a skinny version is OK.

Who me? Never.

Wait until you see tonight's display in our yard. Oh, and we should see at least 12 communities from my back patio too.

What are 3D fireworks? Aren't they all. Or are these that look like they're coming at you? If you want that, I'll just point the mortar at you.

 

[JLDSMD]

You'll be "skinny sneeky" by the cruise

So, are you calling me FAT Sneaky then?

We went to the Pig yesterday and they had samples of 5 different kinds. Those two were the best.

Jeff - did you remember to pick up a Pig bag for me?
