While you are suffering through the night remember all us folks who will be having a fermented malt beverage with a bowl of chili tonight.
Awwwwwww, cut that out! No fair making me drool.
Posted by: Omnibus Driver on April 21, 2008 06:16 PMI loves me some smoked pork shoulder. Maybe in June I will smoke a Brisket for y'all and whip up my homeade BBQ sauce.
Posted by: kerrcarto on April 21, 2008 07:25 PMon a much lower scale. found a very nice Columbia Valley Reisling at Sam's for $8. bought 4 bottles. almost out. Usually I am a Bordeaux man.
Posted by: patrick on April 21, 2008 08:00 PMOh yummy, now i'm starving. Sounds wonderful!
Posted by: Mary on April 21, 2008 09:46 PMI had a salad from Arby's tonite, & spent 25 minutes pickin' out the 3 large cucumbers they'd thoughtfully diced into little bitty pieces & dumped in there for me...Yum..."I'm thinkin' Arby's"...NOT !!

I'm sure the Arby's was much better than my Marie Calender's tonight. Meat Loaf & Gravy. I'm gonna pay for it tomorrow.
Should've had me some hot goat cheese in grilled sour dough bread with truffled wild mushrooms. That sounds like a winner to me! And some of that smoked pork shoulder sounds mighty fine too. A bananna spit for the finish would be key to that combination...
Posted by: CharlieDelta on April 22, 2008 01:20 AMSounds Splendiferic!
Hey Sandy G, my neighbor Pam bit into an Arby's sammy recently, and it included half of a can opener blade. How frightening is that? Me, I'd rather Rax. They were better than Arby's, do they exist anywhere anymore?
CD, Marie Calender's Fettuccine Alfredo is not too sucky. It's almost easier to make it from scratch though, I'll send the recipe if you want?
first flight
Two Tennessee Pride biscuits
Black Cherry Fresca
SandyG- I'll take those cucumbers. I take extra ones on my Subway Toasted Turkey.
Posted by: patrick on April 22, 2008 09:10 AMVet from hell finish that off with a Mountain Dew 2006 was a good year and a Moon pie ala mode MMM mmm good
Posted by: spanky on April 22, 2008 03:29 PMBottomless French wine...one glass, and another, and another, and another, and another, and another, and another...world without end...
Sooooooooooooooooooooooo boring!
Who wants food? Maybe a baguette et Camember...
Posted by: Claudia in Toronto on April 22, 2008 07:20 PMIt's Camembert (the wine got to me)...Add a touch of Brie.
Posted by: Claudia in Toronto on April 22, 2008 07:24 PMLisaKay-
I would love that recipe! If you know Marie's secret, that would be great if you sent it. Afterall, I'm just a punk with a stove and an oven! Jus' don't tell (TDO) huh?
I love playin' with my food...
