[GreenAcres]

Grits recipe with Cheddar cheese and garlic, a very popular way to prepare grits in the South. (Don't forget Arnold....uhm, I mean the BACON!)

Ingredients:
•6 cups water
•2 teaspoons salt
•1 1/2 cups grits
•1/2 cup butter
•3 eggs, well beaten
•16 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
•2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
•cayenne pepper to taste

Preparation:
Bring water and salt to a rolling boil; gradually stir in grits with fork. Cook, stirring constantly, until all water is absorbed. Stir in butter a tablespoon at a time; stir in the beaten eggs, working quickly so eggs will not cook before thoroughly blended into the grits, then stir in the shredded cheese, garlic and a little cayenne pepper. Put into a greased 2 1/2-quart casserole. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 to 20 minutes.
Serves 8.

Not intentionally. At least not this time. Just trying to help you out my friend.



Yes it is. You can tell there are some boats there. Where they are at and where they go is beyond me. You were there, you should know. If not, ask Smidgy. She'll know for sure.

Thanks Mikey for having another breakdown,, always entertaining. I was supposed to get to you guys in the last chapter,,,but unfortunately,,, none of you hurt yourselves,,,and as much as we enjoyed meeting you,,, well,,, it's not going to be exciting reading.
And then I got lucky,,, and basshed my head again,,,well, surely you can see why I had to go and write about that incident,,,, not everybody get's that lucky, as I'm sure you well know.

I'm still hoping to get to our meeting up,,,, but I don't want to give it "short shrift" as the saying goes,,especially after your poor wife had to hold my hand for 20 minutes or so to try to keep me from hurting myself,,,,,and,,,,

poor Stephanie tried to keep me from burning down the World Showcase at Epcot.
Have you ever had a 5 year old boy look at you and slowly shake their head in disgust from some;thing you've done?
Well ,,,, I have now!

So,, if I don'[t get there before we leave to go and cause more damage,,, I will not abandon where we left off,,,,we'll get there,, eventually

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Hi Lisa,,, and I do remember you from years ago. As you know,, I also like grits,,,, but never had them with cheese,,,, or garlic, normally,

I originally read this as "As you know, I also like Girls,,,, but never had them with cheese,,,, or garlic, normally"

It did give me pause...

 

[smidgy]

but not too much pause.. after all. you ARE used to Nebo's mind...

 

[pkondz]

H'okay.
Been away from the 'puter for a bit, except for regularly scheduled maintenance. But I've got a good excuse.

Elle turned 16 the other day. We threw her a big surprise party (she was beyond shocked... I don't think she realized what happened until the next day). Had a few other odds and ends and... anyway, time to catch up.

Ok,,, I'm getting there,,, not much more,,,,But I am in desparate need rith now for a MASH fix,,, and they have taken it off some of the stations by me, so it's not upbiquitous anymore,,,,,

This was just.... weird. I hadn't watched a MASH episode for at least a couple of months. So I had a few recorded and decided to watch a couple (the one where the whole unit "adopts" a baby and the one where Charles gets "married" while on a bender in Tokyo). After I turned off the TV I logged on here and what do you post?


The similarities are starting to frighten me just a little bit...

Well mon,

Jamaica mon.

but as is wont to happen with me,,,

If you want, I won't tell anyone of your wonts if you won't.

I got tridesacked

That's when the lineman, linebacker and defensive back all get to you at the same time.

and unless something changes after I write this,,, i'm going to come up a tad short.

There's nothing worse in the frog breeding business then losing a tad.

truly sad.

gad.

it lets me be friends with them for at least another couplle days , since what I try to pass off as humor isn't always received that way once it gois through the interpreter and spell chick.

Would that be Smidgy?

check.

Knew it.

and now try to add/embellish, to what might have been a completly normal, ok, chapter,,,

What?!?! You embellish??? I thought you were just giving us the fax, m'am?

and then ruin it for all eternity.

Oh, don't worry. You don't have to do a thing to ruin the chapter. Just be yourself.


There. Now aren't I helpful?

LET THE RUINATION BEGIN!

Run for your lives! Hide the children! Save the cats!

Boy,, this next chapter is going to be a killer,,, since it's going to be my last one!

Alas poor Nebo, we hardly knew him.

I mean ,,, for this report,,,before the death threats start.

You haven't received any death threats up to this point?


Have you checked your inbox?

No reason. Just curious.

And I promise that if we do, I'll do my best to NOT show up with blood on my shirt again.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is known as an "empty promise".

You won't believe what it does sometimes when it's excited!
No, not going there.

Too late!

Ok, once again boys and girls,, it's time to display in writing how stupid I can be.

Yay! So nice of you to share your shortcomings with us for our amusement.

At two in the morning.

As opposed to.... when?

And how can it be "upcoming" when it happened 4 days/nights ago?

If I go back in time and kill my grandfather, how could I have been born if my father was never born so how could I go back to kill my grandfather?

Better play it safe and go back in time and rub out Nebo's grandfather and see what happens.

No wonder Babylon was destroyed! And that doesn't look right either, no, something's not quite right there, and why would God want to destroy a little baby named Lon?

Because he was going to become a master of disguise and God was worried he'd try to sneak all 1000 faces into Heaven when he wasn't looking.

Can you imagine what these reports would be like if I took amphetamines?

More commas


Yup.

More.

Ok, so now,,, what can I do for you?

I’ll have a corned beef on rye, extra pickle.


You have my address.

And yes,,, I do prefer the chapters when I'm babbling a lot more and making a jerk out of myself,,,, than when I have to keep looking into P-Bucket for pictures.

They are more fun to write, aren’t they?

Unless you are really clever with P-Shop and know how to make things funny with altered Pics Like Ponzi is,,,

I shall treasure this moment always.

It was on a Thursday. The sun was particularly pleasant that day. Warm, without being too arid. The sky was an azure canvas.


Hey! Wait! Are you saying I have to resort to cheap parlour/photo tricks to sell a TR ‘cause I can’t write?????

Cruel.

So. Cruel.

Oh no,,, did I just say that outloud about "Sargeant Ponzi of the Yukon?" Well, maybe he'll miss it,, if so,,, please,, you don't have to run off and say that I said something nice about him,,,,,'K?

That’s what’s nice about the internet. Once it’s out there, it’s out there forever.


Just ask Pam Anderson or Paris Hilton.

What was the question again?

I believe it will be: “To pee or not to pee.”

Nebo, in the bathroom.

With the Candlestick.

And Miss Scarlet.

Unless you commonly refer to Smidgy as Miss Scarlet, you’re going to be on the couch again, dude.

No, I don't go both ways like Professor Plum.

Both ways? Like back and forth? To and fro? Please elaborate.

I had no idea that a Collender, used with Hot Dog tongs,, could actually,,, uh,,, never mind,, but I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.

Nope. Me neither.

Yes , you are correct, I don't have a Clue!

I’d Risk saying that you don’t have a Monopoly on that.

Sorry.

(So, has everyone played all four games just mentioned?

I think that was her name. The only other female I could recall was a Mrs White, I believe,,, but she's too old for me.

I dunno. She’s pretty feisty still.
Hmmm… did you mention Mrs. Peacock?

It was forged in the fires of Mt Doom, in Mordor, and has a mystic, hard to read, latin inscription, that I had to get the TidyBowl guy over to translate for us,,,, "One sink to rule them all, and in the night bind them."

Whoops! Mis-translation. It’s “in the night to maim them.

Gee, I've really put this sink on a pedestal, havent' I?

OW,,,, there, I just punched myself in the ribs for that last one.

Saves me the trouble.

(actually, I kinda liked that one... but don’t tell anyone how shallow I am)

It's ok,,, if I hadn't,,, The Great and Wonderful Smidgy of Oz would have done it anyway, and probably harder than I just did!

On a related note. We watched “Oz the Great and Powerful” not too long ago…

meh.

The BLUE Smidgy in particular got me,,,,, I thought I had slept with a Smurf!

ok, ok,,,, the cattle are dying, the crops are dead and I'm back to Rich Little doing his Babylon Impressions;

Thanks for the Canadian plug.

At around two in the morning,, I had to take a leak.

Said the Titanic.

( take it easy, take it easy,,, it's a natural function, and it still sounds better than to say I had to go pee pee,,, and you tell ME the last time somebody came up to you and said,,," Please excuse me,,, I need to go and urinate now. "

True story alert!

Way back before we had cars and stuff, I had to have surgery on my knee. Today, this would be done in no time and you’d be in and out of the hospital before the anaesthetic wore off. Back then, you were in for a week. I was about 13 years old and the nurse was explaining that “If I had to go pee, I could use this jug and then call the nurse to come empty it.”

I was kind of insulted ‘cause I felt that I was too old to be told “pee”. I mentioned this to my mom who replied, “Well, you should have said, “Thank you, if I have to URINATE (with emphasis on the word ‘urinate’) I’ll call you.””

Somehow, that made me feel even more weird.

Which sounds like a planetory expedition, especially since it's right next to Uranus,,,,and,,, once again,,, I need,,,, really , really need,,, to shut up.

Did you see the video that was out there not too long ago about the weather forecaster who got had when he was doing Birthday and Anniversary shout outs?

It went something like this…

… Happy Anniversary to Mr and Mrs Smith.
… Happy 10th Birthday to Hugh Janus

It was then that one of the co-anchors lost it…

Just say it out loud if you don’t get it.

Back to the story,,, I'm going to go "tinkle",,,in the middle of the night,,,

Oh, that’s so much better.

Did you mentally cue the ominous music?

And no,,, it's not "Tinkle Tinkle Little Star."

(hmm,,, what's with the "little" part?) never mind

There are some things which even I will not photoshop.


Nope.

You see,,, I know better than to try standing there and aim,,,, way too many times you can get that sudden "fork in the road" , where now only one stream is going where itj's supposed to, kind of like a wandering, or lazy eye

Dude! There are some things that guys aren’t supposed to talk about!

and no, I am NOT going to try and name this syndrome,,but I'm sure there is not a singel guy out there that doesn't know what I'm talking about,

Oh, we know.

We know…

so in the middle of the night,,, instead of being a "pointer", I turn into a "setter", and I play it safe and just sit down.


I pretty much missed the seat completely, wasn't even close!

Be like Dad, not like Sis,
Lift the lid before you p***
If you’re Nebo, try and sit
Miss the lid and take a hit

No pole to try and grab for, and once again I'm falling backward!

I must admit.

I would find it curious if there was a pole in your bathroom.
Not much room.

I’m sure there’s one in the bedroom… but the bathroom?

Nah.

Came pretty close to being impaled on that stupid brush she keeps in that stupid holder in there,,, but let's not go there. I can' already see Ponzi and Mike twitching and cringing.

I believe this would be another instance where the term SQUEEE could be used.

Anyone see the “Fusilli Jerry” Seinfeld episode?

The back of my head broke my fall.

Thank goodness you didn’t hit anything impotent!


Important.

Same exact spot!

Next time, when you’re heading toward the “stupid brush she keeps in that stupid holder”, try to turn your head and cough.

It won’t help, but at least you’ll injure yourself somewhere new for a change.

(why can I picture that being in my Avatar tomorrow morning?)

Only because I can’t access your avatar.... otherwise…

Come join, me, come join me,,,,Carrie,,, you can start it out,,, "K?

SQUEEEE!

There it is!

They started doing a Disney Music trivia contest,,,, Diane went and got paper and pens for us to play with.

You...

And Smidgy...


Against the little kids...


Seems fair.

so I stayed with it and tried ot give my great nuggets of wisdom to OUR team answer sheet as wont was required.

Thank you for reaching your quota of two wonts per TR. You may now return to Disney for more Yellow Jacket entertainment.

Have you ever seen a blind man of an inner city corner, selling pencils?
Trust me,,, he had better, higher quality items in his invetory.

Just stubs, huh? With the eraser all worn away.

Pressure mounts.
You can cut the tension with a knife, it was so thick!

I dozed off.

That made me laugh.

"Nebbo and Smiggy!"

Nebbo I can see, but Smiggy?

that's the way it came out,, not the way it was written on the paper.

I'm pretty sure I was "Nebbo". But don't hold me to it.

I wonder if there were any DISers around who were thinking, “Hey! That’s almost like Nebo and Smidgy! We’ll have to tell ‘em when we get back.”

She told me she chose what looked like the most expensive item in the box; I think it was a whistle!

Of Bugs Bunny!

Which she then tossed to a kid sitting nearby.

Who tossed it back.

By the way,,, if you haven't done Hoop De Doo before,,, Doo it. It's not cheap,,, but it's a lot of food and fun entertainment, plus beer and wine are all you can drink as well,

Really? Too bad. I guess we’ll have to wait til the kids are older, or leave ‘em behind. If all you can drink is beer and wine, I don’t think they could handle it.

Oh no,,, the dreaded video as well!

That’s some video. I had no idea the lights did anything like that. All I’ve seen are still images.

So, thanks!

Geesh,,, I've been working on this chapter for so long,, I could swear I have posted a lot of it already. But anyway,,, hope it was entertaining to all of you,,,

Was for me! Thanks for the chapter! :

Oh my goodness,,,,, c'mon,,,, everybody,,,,, have you ever seen or heard a better straight line than that? Well,,, maybe it's just me and my warpaged mind,,,, But,,,
"look before you sit"?

"Yes,,,, hindsight is always the best sight"

GEESH!

Grits recipe with Cheddar cheese and garlic, a very popular way to prepare grits in the South. (Don't forget Arnold....uhm, I mean the BACON!)

Ingredients:
•6 cups water
•2 teaspoons salt
•1 1/2 cups grits
•1/2 cup butter
•3 eggs, well beaten
•16 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
•2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
•cayenne pepper to taste

But what do you do if you can't get the 1 1/2 cups grits? I don't think they sell 'em up here.
And, no... before you ask... I've never had it either.

I originally read this as "As you know, I also like Girls,,,, but never had them with cheese,,,, or garlic, normally"

It did give me pause...

 

[Thumper_Man]

I’d Risk saying that you don’t have a Monopoly on that.

Sorry.

(So, has everyone played all four games just mentioned?

So are we playing Trivial Pursuit now? I Scrabble(d) my brain thinking of what games I've played through my Trouble(d) Life. My memories are a little Boggle(d) at the moment, but after racking my brain in my Cranium; yes I've played those games. Is there some type of Pay Day for answering this question? Or is my Battleship sunk?

And, no... before you ask... I've never had it either.

I'll trade you 1 1/2 cups grits for 3 candy bars All of us here in the south know how expensive grits are right??? PM me your address!

Deal... PM on the way.

 

[nowellsl]

Deal... PM on the way.

Great, just some advice (learned the hard way) Be sure to cover the grits when they're cooking! When they boil they start popping ...... and they're very hot ...... and it goes everywhere

 

[pkondz]

Great, just some advice (learned the hard way) Be sure to cover the grits when they're cooking! When they boil they start popping ...... and they're very hot ...... and it goes everywhere

Oh sure. Now you tell me... after you've scored on the Wunderbar/Grits deal.

We don't have lids in Canada. The extreme cold keeps everything in its place.

 

[nebo]

You know,, every time I see a cooking reference that comes out of nowellsl,,, I can't help but think she's digging at me. Man, you almost start ONE little fire at a Disney World Showcase Restalurant,,, and you're branded for life.

And yes,,, I'm not going to let is go away,,,,it's just going to hjave to wait I guess till we get back.
BOY I can't get along with those cooks at Teppanedo!

Wouldn't you think that if I was going to have a problem with a Disney cast member in the restaurant business there I'd be better off picking a guy who runs an icecream cart, rather than the knife jugglers?

 

[buzz1121]

Hey Nebo!

You're green and not from being sick I hope!!

Are you packing? Watch out for the crabby cabbie!

Pkondz, if I can give you a little advice on the grits.....if you have never eaten them before, please consider adding salt, butter, and cheese to them. They are also good when scrambled eggs and bacon and mixed up in them. Just some friendly Southern advice from your ole pal Buzz.

And most grits are pretty inexpensive. My DS loves Quaker instant cheese grits for a quick grits fix.

Hi

h'okay.
Been away from the 'puter for a bit, except for regularly scheduled maintenance. But i've got a good excuse.

Elle turned 16 the other day. We threw her a big surprise party (she was beyond shocked... I don't think she realized what happened until the next day). Had a few other odds and ends and... Anyway, time to catch up.


yes, i noticed your abcess, i thought maybe you were mad at me and not posting anymore.
Maybe that thought can be rivisited?


this was just.... Weird. I hadn't watched a mash episode for at least a couple of months. So i had a few recorded and decided to watch a couple (the one where the whole unit "adopts" a baby and the one where charles gets "married" while on a bender in tokyo). After i turned off the tv i logged on here and what do you post?


The similarities are starting to frighten me just a little bit...

i still watch it a lot, but it isn't on quite as much as it used to be,,, have to work at it now. And for secondary characters on the show,,, weren't sydney and colonial flagg just incredible?





that's when the lineman, linebacker and defensive back all get to you at the same time.

as spoonerisms go,, i liked "tridesacked"

oh, don't worry. You don't have to do a thing to ruin the chapter. Just be yourself.

oh , thank you for your support, i feel much better now. I'll try to remember that.


there. Now aren't i helpful?

yes, you were. Very.


if i go back in time and kill my grandfather, how could i have been born if my father was never born so how could i go back to kill my grandfather?

Better play it safe and go back in time and rub out nebo's grandfather and see what happens.



Because he was going to become a master of disguise and god was worried he'd try to sneak all 1000 faces into heaven when he wasn't looking.

ok, very good, but you left off the part where one of his ancestors became dick cheney,, who was the scariest of all.

more commas


yup.

More.

you trying to say i overdo the comma experience?
Fine: Just wait till you see another comma!


they are more fun to write, aren’t they?

definately;;;; nothing shuts down a cool chapter quicker than having to post pictures.

i shall treasure this moment always.

It was on a thursday. The sun was particularly pleasant that day. Warm, without being too arid. The sky was an azure canvas.

it was a one timer. Enjoy it.






that’s what’s nice about the internet. Once it’s out there, it’s out there forever.


Just ask pam anderson or paris hilton.

or coppertone nebo


i’d risk saying that you don’t have a monopoly on that.

Sorry.

(so, has everyone played all four games just mentioned?

i think you need an operation on your chess.

i dunno. She’s pretty feisty still.
Hmmm… did you mention mrs. Peacock?

that's the one i couldn't think of.



on a related note. We watched “oz the great and powerful” not too long ago…

meh.

i didn't see it, but could they get somebody more boring thatn james franco to play oz? I love sam raimi,,, and thinking of it now,,, bruce campell would have made an incredible oz.



ruh roh,,, out of time right now.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

This is totally unrelated to anything on this thread, just have to share my shock and awe!

Hubby loves the Beatles, and Paul McCartney is opening his tour in Orlando in May (gossip insert, his GF's kid attends college at the private Winter Park collge and I read today he loves that town)

Hubby is dying to see him

Anyway, so the mayor annouced this on Monday, hubby mentioned he wated to go yesterday, of course all was sold out, except for nosebleed sections on scalper sites)

They apparently opened the next day today, Sunday night.toclets available for front seat section, YAY!

Two tickets: $4,000 So no deal there

Lower bowl: $900! Hubby better be listening to his CD's, no Paul for him

"no self respecting Southerner uses instant grits" lol

preamble to previous youtube video.

 

[hushupu]

I'm finally all caught up and I was 2 reports behind. Life got in the way and I was away from the Dis for a while. Great job Nebo and Smidgy and the whole crew. It's amazing how much these trip reports are a community effort. They just wouldnt be the same without every ones contributions.

 

[nowellsl]

You know,, every time I see a cooking reference that comes out of nowellsl,,, I can't help but think she's digging at me. Man, you almost start ONE little fire at a Disney World Showcase Restalurant,,, and you're branded for life.

I don't know what you're talking about hehehe

Wouldn't you think that if I was going to have a problem with a Disney cast member in the restaurant business there I'd be better off picking a guy who runs an icecream cart, rather than the knife jugglers?

Just to be on the safe side, you may want to stay away from Japan on this trip, they may have your face on a poster ........


When are you guys leaving??
