1. Anchovie; 2. cheese; 3. pepperoni/mushroom; 4. Italian; 5. supreme; 6. Hawaiian
And if anyone is interested, there's some corned beef andcabbage from yesterday, that can be warmed up quickly.
Joe, believe Mutt said he's heard of a couple of the underpasses that are flooded. Haven't heard about the two close here to the house, which have the tracks overhead.
Has anyone heard from Grandpaw Pettibone (Tom) lately? Haven't seen him in here for awhile.

Well, we've made it back home, finally! Since it's so late, I've set out some cold cuts for sandwiches, and guess we'll make tonight pizza night. Give me about a half hour, 45 minutes, to relax, and I'll start making the pizzas for tonight. Should have them ready by 7 p.m., no later than 7:30 p.m. EDT.
Jack, I know how those medical tests are. Hope everything will turn out okay.
Rainy and gloomy around Metro Louisville today. They say by tomorrow, we could see a total to 2 to 4 inches of rain. That we don't need!!
Sorry CW but medical tests today and tomorrow limit what I may eat. I will not be in for meals until Thursday. I may waste away to ??? w/o all of your goodies.
Going to be in the 60's in AZ mountains today with no precip. Have a great day all you RR's.

On this Saint Patricks Day
May the wind at your back not be the by-product of your corn beef and cabbage.

Sunday morning the wind hereabouts was out of the northeast - not the usual. It was kind of cold, too. As the result of those two things, the delectable smell of our chicken cooking blew from where we were barbequing it right over the hamlet - you could smell it everywhere. Great marketing gimic, but I doubt I can arrange the same thing for our next barbeque.
Had one of our local residents come by our Hall and ask where we were doing the cooking - he apparently hadn't noticed the wind direction and was one of the first houses downwind... He came back later and stocked up.

Wow - I am glad we are past the green and the smell of St Pat's day and on to a quieter holiday - Happy Easter.
Feel better Dan! It is going to warm up. We didn't get any of Big Muddy's snow, we got a smatter of rain and a little spritz this morning. Then the next few days promise to be very nice.
I have all the December grads fluffed/folded/ and put away. Now waiting for our May grads - which is supposed to be of record size. Job security I hope.
CW - I will have a coffee and an English ear muff for breakfast. Grape jelly....yum.
I see Joe comin'......I'm running for the rocker.....

Well, I've gotten everything cleaned up from last night, since it looks like no one was in here, after I put supper out on the warmer bar, along with bagels and bear claws.
Coffee, juice and other morning beverages are freshly made, and there's a light breakfast of muffins, turkey bacon, sausage , oatmeal & toast on the warmer bar.
You all are on your own for lunch time today. I have to be somewhere else, and won't be around until late afternoon.
You all have a good day, stay dry, if you're getting rain like we are, and take care!!
You're welcome Joe. Did you and Lance pick up your containers for work tonight?
And yes, we are supposed to be under a flood watch about this time tomorrow night, into Wednesday. We don't need anymore wetness. Our ground is pretty well saturated as it is, now!
I've set our more corned beef and cabbage, along with the rest of the beef roast, and side dishes. Also, tonight, we've got cupcakes, decorated for St. Patrick's Day. Hope you all enjoy them!
I drive a green truck that helps on St Patricks day! CW thanks for supper.Matt and I went out and gave hugs today.We did see an autorack train on the old nkp line in continental.going to be watching the rivers if we get all the rain the weatherman says.they are high enough now.

That'd be more than fine. You don't have to bring it over, just toss it when you get close enough.
CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE = "NATURAL" GAS
Dan, would you like a cold beef roast sandwich, and some chips?!?! If so, I'll have it ready for you in just a few minutes.
Mookie, I feel the same way about cabbage; I'll only eat it three ways: in salad, in cole slaw, and in homemade vegetable soup! (Just to fix boiled cabbage, I can't stand the smell, and that ruins it for my even trying to eat it: cause it stinks up my kitchen!!)
Bob, I'll try to remember and fix it more often, with a couple of other choices for those who don't care for corned beef & cabbage.
The corned beef and cabbage, as well as the loftover beef roast, etc., are all on the warmer bar, just waiting for you all to come fill your plates.
Mudchicken, heard on the news this morning, that you all were supposed to get quite a bit of the white stuff! Guess it must have fizzled out, before getting to you all, huh?
Anyone seen this snowstorm that was supposed to hit us hard? Appears to be MIA or wimped-out.
Massive corned-beef and cabbage fix needed here.
.....But don't forget the tornado part of our season is a reality.....Yes, in this mid west part of the country, that is a real danger in this area. We here, specifically have had close calls but so far we've been spared right here {in our spot}, since we built our home 37 years ago. Massive damage within a half mile of us in times past.

Gee, I forgot something this morning:
HAPPY ST. PADDY'S DAY TO ONE AND ALL!! (Even if you're not of Irish descent, we claim everyone as Irish today!!)
Mookie, sorry to hear that you had such a blah day yesterday, but good to hear that you had a half way decent Saturday.
On today's menu: what else, but corned beef and cabbage, cole slaw, and for those who don't like corned beef & cabbage, there's plenty of leftover beef roast, taters, carrots, onion form Sunday Dinner.
And, since we don't serve alcoholic beverages in here, I've made some green tea for today: not actually colored green, unless you want to add some green food coloring to it.
Our weather here this morning in Sioux Falls, South Dakota is a bit nasty. I got home from work last night around 10:00 and it started snowing here shortly thereafter. We have at least two to three inches of fresh snow on the ground and there is more on the way. We've had it so nice the past week with temperatures rising up into the mid-50's. I guess we can't have good weather all the time. At last report we had about 33 degrees here.

Here in the north country we have four seasons: Leaf raking, snowing, mud, and construction.
The midwest (true and otherwise) also has four seasons: construction, leaf raking (except in the plains, where there are no trees, snowing, and "DUCK!"
....March is certainly a transition month here in central Indiana....It can be 70 degrees and perhaps it might be snowing. But today, the sun is peeking out off and on and the temp is 35 and rising and some things are just getting ready to pop for spring. Tulips are up and on their way, Robins all over the place.....so not bad at all. My favorite time of the year just around the corner.
St. Patrick is largely responsible for having kicked some of my ancestors out of Ireland. Now here is the story and to some degree, it is true!
Back when St. Patrick was involved in the governmental affairs of Ireland, the country was in the middle of a famine and the Irish people were starving. To make matters worse, the country was invaded by Norse Vikings, and they were eating what little food was available, and there was not enough to go around for both the Irish people and their Norwegian invaders, so St. Patrick knew that he had to find some way to get rid of them.
He first organized a team of volunteers and they went out and they dumped poisonous lye in all the lakes and streams in Ireland, hoping that this would kill off all the fish and thus force the Norwegian Vikings to leave. However, this did not work because to this day Norwegians enjoy codfish which has been soaked in lye, and it's called "Lutefisk"!
St. Patrick then organized a band of sabateurs and they went out and they wrecked the hydro-electric power plants in Ireland in the hopes that it would cause the food in the refrigerators of the Norwegian invadors to spoil and thus force them to leave Ireland. But this did not work either, because it has long been rumored that Norwegians are known to thrive on spoiled food!
Well it got so bad that the Norse invadors were even taking the entire Irish potato crop to make their lefse with! So on March 17th when St. Patrick was at his wit's end and didn't really know what else he could do, he finally really blew his cork and he told all the Norwegians in Ireland to "Go to Hell!"
And it worked! They all left Ireland and made their way to Dakota Territory!!
This is basically how my great, great grandparents ended up in South Dakota. And as Paul Harvey would say, "And now you know the rest of the story!"
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
