Reading, seeing and hearing

[edcrbnsoul]

I am in the yard cutting the grass right now by myself with no hired help. It is very lonely. A woman's work is never done....

Are you at least wearing your Orange Crocs.

That was this morning, Ed. Right now I am wearing my high heels. I just finished my sessions and am still dressed in my working girl clothes. The heels are still on while I am cutting, in the yard. I am there now......anyone can come see them......

[LaLa]

Why must it just be boys, lala? Huh?

Ask Shelby. She started it.

And just for the record, I like preps and attorneys too. After all, my paycheck DOES get signed by one. Well, it used to anyway. Until today maybe. I think I've spent too much time staring at this computer and doing the Silent Shake thing. I think he might be on to me. CHAPPIE, I might actually need some of that Insolvency Planning, whatever THAT is. ZZUB, can I come work for you? I promise to call you DA MAN when you put a Mack Daddy spankin' on somebody in court. Whether or not you will actually HEAR it is completely up to you.

Hold me, ZZUB

Easy there Mel. He ain't givin' out the love today, if ya know what I mean....



JW: My coworker just asked what I was making for supper. Up until your post, I had no idea.

Raccoon Kabobs. Mmmmmm. That sounds good. I'll have that.



ZZUB: YOU DA MAN. YOU'RE AWESOME. YOU ROCK. YOU'RE FREAKIN HILARIOUS.

Good thing he can't read that. Wouldn't want it to go to his head or anthing.

For those who think that Big Bites are fine dining:

Roadkill Recipes*

We are greatly saddened by how many of our furry little friends we see flattened along our roadways on a typical daily drive to work. In a well-intentioned effort to turn those frowns around, we have proposed a tasteful end for those unfortunate creatures who wanted nothing more in life than to learn what might lie on the other side of the road. We think that they would have wanted it that way.

Raccoon Kabobs
(Also known as "Ringtail Surprise")

Two pounds, reasonably fresh raccoon, cut into one-inch cubes; one-half cup homemade French dressing; two green peppers, cut into squares; one large onion, cut into one-inch pieces; one-third pound mushroom caps.

Place raccoon cubes in a ceramic bowl and pour dressing over cubes. Let marinate two or more hours. Remove cubes, reserving marinade. Alternate raccoon cubes with pepper squares, onion pieces and mushroom caps on skewers. Brush all with reserved marinade and broil over hot coals until done to desired degree. Turn frequently and baste with marinade as needed.

Serves six.

Moose-and-Squirrel Meat Balls
(Especially useful recipe if main ingredients have been dead for 24 or more hours before harvested)

Three pounds, ground moose and squirrel, any proportion; six slices soft white bread; one-half cup water; one-third cup butter; one-and-one-third cups chopped onion; salt and freshly ground black pepper; two tablespoons chopped parsley; two tablespoons flour; one-and-one-half cups milk.

Soak bread in water five minutes. Squeeze excess water out. Melt four tablespoons butter in skillet. Sauté onion in butter until tender. Combine moose and squirrel meat, squeezed bread, four teaspoons salt, one-half teaspoon pepper and parsley. Form mixture into one-inch balls. Chill twenty minutes. Heat remaining butter in skillet. Brown moose-and-squirrel balls on all sides. Cover skillet and cook slowly 15 minutes. Remove balls to warm platter. Sprinkle flour over skillet droppings. Stir and cook one minute. Stir in milk and bring to boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return moose-and-squirrel balls to skillet. Simmer four minutes.

Serves eight

Pennsylvania Possum Pot Pie
(Often served to unsuspecting bed-and-breakfast tourists in Amish country)

Five-pound possum, cut into serving pieces; water; salt; 12 peppercorns; two ribs celery, chopped; two carrots, quartered; one onion; two cups flour; four egg yolks; six tablespoons hot water

Place possum in kettle. Add water to cover, salt to taste, peppercorns, celery, carrots and onion. Simmer until possum is thoroughly tender, about two hours. Strain broth and pour into clean kettle. Simmer while preparing remaining ingredients. Remove possum from bones. Discard bones and skin. Cut possum into bite-size pieces. Sift flour and one-half teaspoon salt together onto board. Make well in center and put egg yolks into it. Gradually work yolks into flour until stiff dough is formed, adding hot water as needed. Knead until smooth, about five minutes. Cut dough in half. Roll each half until paper thin. Cut dough into noodles about one inch wide. Add possum to simmering broth. Gradually add noodles. Continue boiling until noodles are done, about five minutes.

Serves eight to twelve.

Skunk Skillet Stew
(A sensory entree, not recommended for the weak-stomached)

Two adult skunks, skinned, deboned and shredded; save scent sacs and set aside; one-fourth cup oil; one-fourth cup butter; two cups finely chopped celery; one-fourth cup finely chopped parsley; two cloves garlic, finely minced; one bay leaf; two carrots, chopped; two tablespoons flour; one cup beef broth; one cup dry red wine; three tablespoons cognac; one pound ripe, red tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped; salt and freshly ground pepper to taste; juice of half-lemon; one-fourth teaspoon nutmeg; one cup Madeira wine.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large skillet, brown skunk well in oil and butter; add carrots and stir until lightly browned. Sprinkle with flour. Add broth as needed when mixture starts to brown. Stir to dissolve brown particles. Add remaining broth, red wine, cognac, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Place in oven, cover and bake three hours. Strain gravy, pressing as much of cooked vegetable mixture as possible through sieve. Bring strained mixture to boil. Add lemon juice, nutmeg, Madeira. Carefully puncture scent sacs and add fluids to mixture. Simmer five minutes. Pour sauce over skunk.

Note: If any of these species are not commonly found on roadsides in your geographic area, you may easily substitute such other carrion delicacies as armadillo, alligator or mongoose meats. Be creative. Bon appétit!

Memo to Mrs. Zzub: remove your recipes from the internet. People are stealing them.

I do appreciate the disclaimer at the end. Yes, b/c there are some people dumb enough to cook up these fine vittles. LaLa: care to comment?

Frankly, with enough cheese, anything tastes good. That's the only reason I ever eat broccoli.

[FSUMARCHIEF]

Since we're talking about food of the weird variety today - I thought I would add to the discussion and offer my most interesting of dishes.

It was at a thing in Savannah called the Hard Lox Cafe - put on by one of the Synagogues. It's a Jewish food festival. Pretty neat - except for this one dish that I tried just to say I did. Here's a recipe...

BEEF TONGUE

Tongue
Salted water
1 bay leaf
1 lg. or 2 sm. pieces of garlic

Soak tongue in heavily salted water a few hours. Then cover tongue with fresh water, 1 bay leaf, 1 large or 2 small pieces of garlic and cook until tongue is tender. Cool slightly and remove white coating from tongue. Slice and serve with mustard or horseradish sauce.


Anybody hungry?

Blessings!

OMG, the natives are restless today!!

You guys are just too much. And I'm kinda slow on the uptake today. You are all gonna get fired. Except Horsey, cuz she only posts when her clients are in the loo. And speaking of Horsey...

And I love STNG!!!!!!! Love Cap. His accent makes me smitten. I think Ash likes him too. Cap, reminds me of Chap. Hay, fella, thanks for noticing my new tag. Gosh, I never even asked for one....wow! You are an observant fells.

I'm sure I do like STNG, because you and I like most of the same things....but I'm missin it. Not too sharp today. I can't figure it out! I'm a loser, just like Mel (well, not really, cuz she's not...)

Grammy, love the estate, and your very own Vanna White. Just gotta get your wireless workin out there.

ZZUB, stop dissin my man Al. Not my main man, I'm not QUITE as bad as Sher, I guess. But still, stop dissin.

I have a gazillion (or brazillian) things to do tonight. Don't stay up too late, y'all. I'll try to check in when I return from the Academic Achievement Awards (not me, my son), but I may be toooooo sleepy.

Anyone want to play with Me(l)?

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Hi guys!

I see you were busy little cheeseheads today!

I couldn't get in - my server was too busy to even bring drinks

JW - love the recipes! I'm going out on the highway (in my white crocs - they reflect.....for safety reasons) to git me some viddles!

ed - nice cheesy poem.

Does anyone know - are Horsey's Croc's actually Cheese???

I know Mel ........it's Melba Toast??

Lala - I had a University Prof who always did the silent laugh.......I'm with you on that one!!

Zzub........are you married to Julia Child?? Or is it Giada DeLaurentiis??

Marky - I don't think that story was necessary. Especially around dinner time. I threw up my chinese chicken just a little in my mouth and on my old keyboard.

See y'all later, taters!
