oh damn betty

that avatar... no fair play

Lol, sorry Zach.  The one I was using, myself with the male strippers, disappeared for some reason.  This seemed like a good replacement.

SHAMEFUL    we have a Cici's pizza  next to a very large trailer-park, and when I went to that place I wasn't very impressed w/ their menu, in fact I got sick the next day, and never returned to the place 
I think that Cici's pizza  has moved to another location, and where it used to be is now a Golden Corral

Golden Coral is nasty here in Montana. My husband had diarrhea as soon as he finished eating. My daughter is not HIV positive like her dad and I. So it let us know the food was bad when she had the same reaction less than half an hour of walking out the restaurant doors. We will never eat at any Golden Coral location again.
Cici's Pizza looks ok on tv. When we walked in my daughter, then fifteen, did not want to eat there do to the filth and looks of the food. We walked out as the food looked like it had been reheated.
We do like Outback, iHop, Del Taco, and Sweet Tomatoes. There is no Sweet Tomatoes in Montana, but we loved it in Nevada. They are a part of Soup Plantation and I even liked that one too.

I normally don't like any type of chain restaurants, but Subway is actually my favorite quick "go to" place.  That's my most favorite places to get a quick salad on the go.  Sometimes I do it as a veggie sub if I'm in a hurry.  I wrongly assumed and learned something yesterday.  I always get it on flatbread assuming it had the least calories.  Nope, actually has the most at 210 for a 6" bun.

And for those who like really hot, they've introduced this fiery Asian hot sauce that'll clear your sinuses in mere seconds.

I'm on my third night of beans people. My cat won't even sleep with me now.

I guess I will toss them after dinner tonight.

From the looks of things, Mr. Wump has a Sinus-clearing concoction of his own.

They can't be very good if you are willing to toss them. I certainly never toss the version of beans that I make -- they make tidy, large, one-serving dinners for my freezer. Then again, there's no McCormick Season*All...

Is the Barilla boycott still on?

I guess he got a little cocky and that led to his arrest . Gives a new meaning to suck down a cold one after a hard days work doesn't it .

There's already a dong collection in Iceland:

I only have one in my collection and I keep it on me at all times . Its hanging around here somewhere right now .

I have a very occasional fb with an xl and pretty peewee. He's so proud of it. He made silicon dildo copies to offer his favourites. I thanked him kindly but declined. I suppose I should have said yes to be polite and flattering... I dunno.

Miss P is grilling a citrus-soy marinated butterflied (locally sourced, all natural free-range) poussin that she picked up at the farmer's market yesterday. Along with sautéed hen-of-the-woods mushrooms and peak of season sweet Jersey corn, and a small mixed-green salad with cucumber vinegar dressing.

sautéed hen-of-the-woods mushrooms

alright, you suck... too early for henowoods down here. but can you seriously buy it in a market up there? thats awesome. somehow i can't picture ms p in the wilds hunting mushrooms

The Delaware Valley, specifically the area around Kennett Square, is the mushroom capital of the world. This town is about 30 miles west of the city, so we always have mushrooms in the markets. Plus I'm sure they supply all the tops end restaurants from DC to NYC.

Dinner last night:

First coarse- Split lobster tails stuffed with an herby egg salad, fresh tomatoes on the side

Second coarse- Roasted chicken and potatoes cooked in duck fat

Third coarse- Beautiful bread served warm with a crust to die for and some sort of cheese.

Fourth coarse- A simple lightly dressed salad

Fifth coarse- (I was getting to tired so we missed this) Blueberry sorbet with roasted pears

All courtesy of our dear French chef friend Claude. An outdoor feast for 50. Proper linens, plates, and silverware. Fresh flowers on every table. It all sounds pretentious but it wasn't. A down to earth, fun, and funny crowd.

Bon Appetit's Top Ten restaurant list is in -- Philly won #2!

(Sorry Wumpy, you only got #7, but at least you beat Austin for once)

[mecch]

That looks delicious but also the presentation looks like an alien creature.

[Miss Philicia]

The key is having the poussin butterflied. All I had to do was sear it in an iron skillet for a few minutes on each side in olive oil -- they I put the hot skillet in a pre-warmed 325F oven and it was easily done in 20 minutes. Tiny birds cook quickly and like squab you do NOT want it dried out. Meat thermometer should read 165-170F and it will get to 180F while letting it rest before plating.

[mitch777]

That really does look good! Only wish we had a better selection of mushrooms here. It's button, porto's, and occasionally, well, I forget the third one. Oops. 

[Jeff G]

That possum you cooked only has two legs ya know . Was it road kill ?

This is totes getting ready to happen..



fresh picked Okra with a medley of purple red and yellow toms, steamed and placed along side a nice pan fried ham steak!

[WillyWump]

PS - you people who cry about the Okra being too slimy really need to wake up, the slime is called Mucilage and its good for the intestines and rectum, it helps to keep you good and lubed up. DONT WANT THAT LOVE TUNNEL DRYING UP AMIRITE MISSP!!

Anyone growing rhubarb?? If so be on the lookout for the Crazy Alley Rhubard Lady...
 
"This is alley fuckin rhubarb you whore!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkAOsEiIwUE

[zach]

if i let anything get so grown out its over the fence into the back alley, i'd let her have it, i sort of influence that right of way but i don't hard claim outside the fence.

what a nut though, i love her

[mecch]

I love her I bet neighbourhood kids love/fear her as well. 

[Jeff G]

Let her eat cake ... er ... I meant rhubarb pie . The thing that cracks me up is the rhu woman is the spitting image of my aunt Pat ... sans the colorful language .

She looks like my Aunt Marilyn but with better teeth and a sweeter disposition

OK Guilhermina -- I have a major task for you.

Wow ... that's cheaper than buying cold cuts for sandwiches for a week .

[Miss Philicia]

... with a weeks worth of sodium I am sure

[mecch]

2 chicken tenders; 1.5 oz. of roast turkey; 1.5 oz. of ham; 1 slice of Swiss cheese; 1.5 oz. of corned beef; 1.5 oz. brisket; 1.5 oz. of Angus steak; 1 slice of cheddar cheese; 1.5 oz. roast beef and 3 half-strips of bacon.

What is a "half strip" of bacon?
Wow, 2 entire slices of cheese. What gluttony!
That is a very creative photo if it is supposed to be just the above ingredient.
Remove the chicken patties and you have 9oz of deli meat. Large, but NOT that pile.  I guess nobody ever ate a sandwich at a NY italian or jewish deli.  jeez.

I would absolutely accept your challenge, and you KNOW I would. But Unfortunately my already gimpy Kidneys would say "That's it, fuck it we're out of here" and leave me in a sodium-induced death spiral.

[mitch777]

Cantaloupe! First attempt. I may get 1,3, or 5 depending on the weather.



WRONG PICTURE! lol.

[mitch777]

Damn it. I hear you all laughing you know.

[Jeff G]

Thanks for the flowers Mitch . 

[mitch777]

My pleasure. lol.

Ok, I'm ready now. Wait for it....
















TahDaH!

[WillyWump]

Nice! I planted cantaloupe but it sprouted and died immediately

[Miss Philicia]

so much effort for 3 sad melons

[mitch777]

so much effort for 3 sad melons

It took 1 minute to dig in a bit of manure and 30 seconds to plant. Watered a bit with the rest of the veggies. And, they are happy organic melons.

Sorry to hear of your failure Wumpy but at least you have your beloved okra.

[WillyWump]

Sorry to hear of your failure Wumpy .

Uh it was the seeds that failed, not me.
