Howdy everybody:

Ed:  Mornay sauce (Kentucky style) is a cheese sauce combining white chedder and parmesan cheese 50/50. You can probably find a mor fancy recipe on the internet, however. It's easy to make KY Hot Brown and it's tasty.  Even I can make it. Ryan could do it in his sleep.

Cheers everyone.

Good Evening Coffee Clubbers,

Another beautiful, if coolish, day down here in Paradise.  Cool [8D]  Yup, it was a real ‘break out the sweaters' type of day.  Supposed to start getting back towards normal starting tomorrow.  As far as I'm concerned, it could stay this way for a while.

Continued with a few laps on the layout, and more work trying to organize the area.  Turning out to be more of a problem than I originally thought.  But we'll get there eventually.

I just realized that in 8 days, I will have been a forum member for 6 years! Does that constitute for anything on here?
We'll let you buy the round on your anniversary date if you want to make it a special occasion.  Big Smile [:D]  I'm 11 days short of 5 years myself.  I started looking around at model railroad forums and started getting interested in model railroading again as I started my last year of work, thinking that I'd finally have time for it in retirement.

Flashwave - Happy Birthday!!  Happy B-Day [bday]

Garry - that recipe for Kentucky Hot Brown looks good.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to make a mornay sauce.

Not much more to add tonight.  Catch you guys tomorrow.

Hasta mañana,

Ed

I found a bag on the table, and in it was the 3Dtrainstuff Donner Pass and Storm of 52 add-ons for MSTS! SO That's where I'll be.

*Sigh* Daylights and Cab Forwards. Can't get any better*

Paul ..... I'm glad you received it! Hope your friend found them to be useful. 

Everybody:   Here's a sandwich (Kentucky Hot Brown) to warm your innards on a cold day:

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Jump to: navigation, search A traditional Hot Brown. A traditional Hot Brown.

A Hot Brown is a hot sandwich originally created at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, by Fred K. Schmidt in 1926.

The Hot Brown is an open-faced sandwich of turkey and bacon, covered in mornay sauce and baked or broiled until the bread is crisp and the sauce begins to brown. Many Hot Browns also include ham with the turkey, and either pimentos or tomatoes over the sauce, and imitation Hot Browns sometimes substitute a commercial cheese sauce instead of the mornay sauce, but fans of the dish usually decry this substitution. Some restaurants even offer a 'veggie brown' nowadays to attract vegetarians as the recipe is easy to modify with avocado, or, less commonly, soy burger.

The dish is a local specialty and favorite of the Louisville area, and is popular throughout Kentucky.

On menus within the Louisville area, the Hot Brown often appears as titled "Louisville Hot Brown", elsewhere in Kentucky outside Louisville as the "Kentucky Hot Brown" and outside the commonwealth simply as "Hot Brown."

Afternoon Gang: Not much going on here. It's somewhat cold here but not as bad as further north.

Gary I got the plans and took them over to my friend Monday. He was very pleased with them and will be dropping you a line. Thank you very much.

I've got to go. I'll stop back in later.

Nice effort on the menu, Ryan.......... but where are the New Orleans Po' Boy sandwiches?  Must I special order one?  .... Also, may I suggest Kentucky burgoo?  It would hit the spot on a cold day?

Happy Model Railroading!

So I hope everyone had a great day. I must say Ryan keeps coming up with that tastey prime rib, so I guess this one's on JPowell. Welcome back to the diner. And that brings me to: 

Hey -

  I just realized that in 8 days, I will have been a forumn member for 6 years! Does that constitute for anything on here?

Well John, you know that and a $1 will get you a coffee while you're here.

sanonaterry:  Welcome to the diner, another fellow carpenter. Now, c'mon, we really don't pound nails anymore, right? Those nail guns sure have made life a bit easier. I just save the hammer for hitting a nail set, chisel or tapping something in place-- 'til you wham w/ the gun! The hammer does look good in the nail bags though. So what aspect of the trade are you in? Framing, finish, cabinets or a bit of all. Used to be one of those "lone wolves", but in a good sized club for over 14 years http://www.ssmrc.org/

NJ Bob: Another welcome. Where is Philipsburg? Just got back fron NJ, my wife's family is in Chester, Denville and Roxbury. I like that RR name. SW7 looks good and nice weathering job also.

Flashwave: so you're into the "circus train", a fellow club member loves that stuff. At shows the kids go crazy watching that train. It takes up the longest yard track and just hopes no one will touch it and knock all those wagons all over. Great part of the hobby. I wanted to take one unfinished area of the layout and give him enough space to have the unloading track and set up the big top circus tent. This is Eric running his train http://www.ssmrc.org/Eric.jpg

To all the regulars, enjoy a good diner on John. Just need to keep it short tonight. BTW, I didn't show my only train related Christmas present, kept it low key for this year. It is actually our latest club car (15 of them so far)  http://www.ssmrc.org/store.htm they won't last after the Springfeild show. I would have bought a couple anyway, but a nice token gift. Have to get some trains from Santa ya know...

Gd' evening all

Looking good! You guys apperently have a larger yard than my club does, and certainly a veery large large yard. 

REMINDER TO ALL HOOSIER AND AREA MRRs: The Great Train Expo (???) is at the State Fair Grounds this weekend!!!

Oh yeah. And as of an hour or so ago, I'm now offically 16. cake around the house.

Oh I'm not complaining, and neither is she.  We're both so grateful that she has this opportunity to continue walking for a few more years.  It's just a little crazy right now (and for the last 6 months or so) while we take care of everything.  She's looking good now though and it'll be a few months before the next round of surgeries, so maybe I can get my hobby thing happening somewhere in there, huh?

Glad you liked breakfast Sue, and sorry to hear about the laundry issues.

Thanks for the concern.  It is just a fact of life.  Our house is coming up on 12 years old and we were wondering what was going to give up first.  I have been wanting a front loading washer but couldn't justify spending the money when the old one worked fine.  The motor burned up.  With hot smell, I couldn't get it out of our house fast enough.  Now that I know that the normal life is about 10-12 years, I will keep a close eye on the dryer. The worst part was the $$$$.
