Something About Nothing..........#11

[keishashadow]

kfed the rugrat is so cute & with Stitch no less!

marci - sent email, hopefully to correct address. let me know if it doesn't show up

mac - yes, last year @ SWW when Mark Hamill was there it was hard to believe the park wasn't far past capacity. I feel for somebody going without knowing what they are diving into...almost impossible to even snag a parade spot 3 rows back an hour ahead of time & waiting even longer to get into any of the shows. No wonder the packages went so fast.

carole - I don't think I've ever tasted lamb. Veal used to be on the menu here until my family realized what they were enjoying & participated in a kitchen coup d'etat.

 

[Lynne G]

What a cutie Chris is. Fun age with the characters.

No lamb here. Do not like it.

I am sure my DS would like to visit SWW, but school is not over in time. Oh well, maybe when he's in college.

Rain rain rain. Gray and cool.

Have a great Tuesday night!

More hugs for the Blu Crew. Hope Dad is ready to come home.

 

[marciemi]

Janet - didn't get the email so guessing you either have my old mjohnson148 or rjohnson87 ones, neither of which we have access to any more. I'll message you it - thanks!

done with errands today and didn't take an umbrella with me.
thought i could dash in and out of the car but i was stupid....
it's 38 degrees and rain.
it could be worse and have snow.

voted today, grocery stop again, picked up tank for bbq grill to make burgers tonight, stop at walgreens, stop at city hall to get city stickers for cars and a drop off at sal army for donations.

iphone wouldn't take my commands so teacher bluer told me how to reset it.
still going to make an appt with the apple store about it as my screen color is pinkish now.

was trying to call Mr Mac at home for his license plate numbers as i needed that to complete the form at city, city car stickers due soon.
stupid phone froze then unfroze but wouldn't allow me to make a call home.

im hoping it was a tempory glitch and the phone is not dying on me.
only have had this one since last july.

keisha, took son twice for SW event.
he loved it but those line waits for pics were awfully long.
wouldn't mind going back again someday for it.
hope Mr Keisha loves your birthday surprise for him while there.

ok, i screwed up.
i told schumi that today was wednesday.
at the time, i was looking at my iphone and you know they never lie......

hope all is good for every homie here.
hugs to blu crew and the poppa!

Soooo krazie bizzie 'round here! (But hey, as slow as our bizness was in Jan & Feb, I'LL TAKE IT!!!)

What's with y'all Yanks and your wild weather?! I think it was pert-near near 90 today down here...and summer-like humidity to boot! Those 3 days of winter we had are a distant memory. True Story: The coldest we felt the past 5 months was the Halloween weekend we spent in Orlando!...Even colder than Christmas there! (Of course, that may be due to the fact that none of us took long pants-or anything more than a rain poncho!)

Bluer's: Poppa still top of my prayer list guys! Virtual hug!

 

[macraven]

buckeev, you're killing me with that great weather you are having......

this yank has had cold weather the past 3 days.
throw in the rain of today and i would tell you that i would give my first born up for temps in the 70's right now.

we are due for better weather later this month.
but at the end of this month, going to tennessee and i know it will be fantastic weather down there.

i'm a mile off of Lake Michigan and when the wind is blowing east, it drops my temps by 10 degrees.
couple days ago, might have been saturday, chicago had 65 as a high.
my town's high was 43.
then it all dropped early sunday morning.

is that a new count down you have in the siggie?
another trip planned for orlando?

/\ reminds me of the road kill count I observed yesterday on the oh-so-boring ride thru the boonies on way up to son's school: 5 deer, 1 turkey, 1 raccoon, 1 possum & 1 . so gross, don't really want to look but just can't turn away, yuk!

mummy dust that the blu cru's big poppa is hanging in there!

mac - so u didn't have to wash your hair yesterday?We've been fortunate to enjoy the majority of the SWW events over the years. Although I think that anybody who voluntarily dresses in a long hot robe (whether for SW or HP) in the FLA heat is nutz lol. It's different if they are paying u to do it lol.

have a happy hump day all

 

[macraven]

keisha, did you take that road kill back home with you for dinner?

 

[schumigirl]

We love veal Janet.......but yes some folks are funny about eating Bambi ......not me. Is lamb not as popular an option in the States as other meats? After steak it's probably my favourite meat but it's got to be cooked right too.

Tonight's lamb was even lusher than last night's, warmed it up in the juice from yesterday and added some more cranberry sauce so it had a sweet and spicy sauce sauce...gorgeous!



Another beautiful day today here.......bit chilly now though but is just after 8pm. Heating is on.

Time for a cuppa

 

[Lynne G]

Ahh, enough of this gray day. Just above freezing and raining still. Rinse and repeat for tomorrow too.

Blu Crew, hope all is calming down, and all get some rest. Always good thoughts and hugs.

Schumi, still cannot want to eat lamb. Just cannot. Do not like deer either. If the deer road kill is fresh, people do eat them. My friend makes steaks and chili from the deer meat. Still won't eat it.

Pizza and cheesesteaks for dinner. Did not feel like cooking.

Curled up with the dog. It is cool tonight, and will go below freezing tonight again. I would love to turn off the heater, but not yet.

Stay safe Mac, we have lots of rain but no threat of tornado. All in the midwest, take care with the storms.

Warm cup of tea for me.

 

[macraven]

LynneG, is so dreary here weather wise, i keep thinking it is about to snow.


i'm not a fan of lamb.
my parents hated it and never served it.
had it once at someone's house and it wasn't my thing.

but Mr Mac loves lamb so i have fixed it for him on some occassions.
but then, i'm good to him...

i'm just doing food that's in the fridge tonight.
Mr Mac picked up a bug and has been asleep most of the day.
easy peasy dinner.
still have the turkey breast in the fridge from monday.

bluer, how's the update on dad?
i surely hope that he is stable and okay.
sending hugs to you and the family.

 

[tink1957]

Carole..I'd like to try a taste of your lush lamb. I'm sure it's good if you cooked it, I've only had it a few times and it was too greasy for me.

I had to turn on the ac tonight so I could sleep...it was 88 today...

I think we skipped spring and went straight into summer

I really need to go to bed now since I agreed to work 7 days in a row...today was day one...what was I thinking?

Good night homies...sweet dreams

 

[macraven]

sleep tight tink

i feel your pain.
it's above freezing here and have the heat up to 75 degrees and still chilly in the house.

 

[schumigirl]

Roadkill!!!! Yuk......Lynne, not something that's done over here thank goodness.........all our meat comes from farms or producers.........best of stuff!! Yep lambs not for everyone.......

Vicki you would love my lamb.....greasy lamb is never nice, had that served to us a couple of times in restaurants.......but mine is never greasy and full of taste.......I'll set a plate for you next time........7 work days in a row!! Yes what were you thinking........make sure you take it easy when days off come around

Mac, hope Mr Mac is better today.......bugs can be nasty.


Off to farm shop today to fill outside freezer up. Put my order in on Tuesday so it's just ready to pick up when we get there. Only trouble is they also have fresh bakery there too.........tempting!!!

Looks like another beautiful day......may get some more gardening done later I hope......

Have a great Thursday

 

[keishashadow]

keisha, did you take that road kill back home with you for dinner?

haha many of the hill folks do, there's actually a law in place. Illegal to scoop it up unless you call the Game Commission. Said law evolved after too would purposely hit deer to get around the # of tags they were issued to harvest deer each season.

carole - I'm pretty sure places have slipped me lamb in a gyro in lieu of the beef i've requested, but hard to tell with that type of pressed meat & all the toppings & a couple beers later. lamb is typically served in very high-end restaurants here and what they term "kobe" lol. A farm in the area has a devoted following throughout the country for their grain vs grass fed lamb: http://robbwalsh.com/2010/04/elysian-fields-lamb-please/

anybody else remember watching this show in re-runs?

 

[Lynne G]

Hello all! It's Thursday and now the news is we may see the sun on Monday. Gray week-end to come. Thunderstorms to come too. Oh well. It will be the week-end before you know it.

Keisha I remember that show, and Captain Kangaroo too.

 

[tink1957]

I'll admit to watching lambchop...not going to say when...kids also watched and Danielle still has the puppet I gave her when she was little.

Hope Mr mac feels better today.

Now I'm off to work...have a great day everyone

Oh that sounds a real treat Janet..........I did wonder why it wasn`t on a lot of menus in the States. We have a thing over here called a donner kebab, like a gyro, it`s that type of minced meat that is pressed and then sliced off of the spit thingy......yes the type of thing you eat after a few beers and you don`t care what it is really........supposed to be lamb over here.......but you never know.....and no one likes to ask.....Haven`t had one for years............

Now whenever I talk about lambs I always remember when my niece was around 5 or 6 and we lived in quite a rural area, she was looking in the fields as we drove past and very innocently asked me where have all the lambs gone today, why aren`t they in the fields playing........lol......what do you say.......oh it`s just lambing season

The Hill folks????????? Now to me that sounds like something sinister out of a scary movie...........

I'll admit to watching lambchop...not going to say when...kids also watched and Danielle still has the puppet I gave her when she was little.

Hope Mr mac feels better today.

Now I'm off to work...have a great day everyone

Have a great day Vicki.....or at least a quick day



Sitting in garden enjoying this lovely sunshine Supposed to be even warmer tomorrow..........yay!!!!

Happy Thursday everyone..........

 

[Lynne G]

Schumi, it's actually not as icky as you think. For some of our rural folks, which is most of our state, getting a deer will fill their freezer. Free is free, and for most, that is good. I won't eat it regardless of how the deer is killed. Oh well. Apparently, I have no trouble eating chickens and steers.
I am not a vegetarian. However, after seeing a pork chop shop up close, I am not as inclined to eat pork as much. Bacon, turkey or pork, is always in our house though.

Glad someone is enjoying the sun.

Tink- have a great day at work.
