Joe, those folding rocking chairs sound very interesting!!

Supper tonight is out on the patio. I've got the grill going, and have
started grilling: hamburgers, hotdogs, brauts, corn on the cob.

Have plenty of cake, brownies & pie for dessert.

Germanium, no, as far as I know, chocolate isn't a crime over here: unless you
make Alice B. Toklas(?) brownies. Then, you've more than likely committed a
crime.

Mookie, sometimes I wish I did have chocolate in an IV: I'd have Mutt or Tree
hook me up, and still have some chocolate the regular way at the same time!!

Brian and everyone else, here's the lunch menu for today:

turkey, veggies, and rice casserole, chocolate cake, white chocolate cake, milk
chocolate pie, and double fudge brownies.

How's that for a "high powered" lunch[?][}:)] The veggies in the turkey casserole
are peas, carrots, potatoes, corn. Hmmm, maybe I should add some cocoa
beans to the casserole.

Tree - Cool!

Brian - I am in love!

Ger....young man from England - all compliments accepted graciously. But curiosity never satisfied. I can't seem to learn a lot about one thing, so must learn just a little bit about a lot of things.

Life is good!

Can't enjoy the taste that way. Best way to enjoy chocolate is in the form of that cake or as fudge.

Or chocolate CHUNK cookies (chips aren't enough)!

Mookie - I tried to enter a translation (p, u, s,s,y cat) but Bergie's phrase checker *** it out, hence the use of "moggy" as a synonym !! And looking at your standard of English in your posts, I'm sure you have nothing to learn from me.

CW - it ain't a crime to be a chocoholic - at least not in Great Britain, but perhaps your Federal lawmakers have decreed otherwise.

Good morning, everyone. I know I'm late. Just couldn't wake up this morning.
Been having a little bit of trouble getting up and moving in the mornings.

Joe, you know there's always chocolate cake around here: especially for us
chocoholics (like Mookie and myself, among others).

Breakfast this morning: turkey bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, biscuits,
scrambled eggs. Fixed hash browns this morning, instead of the fried
taters. Hope that's satisfactory with everyone.

Is there anything special anyone would like for lunch today? Please let
me know, and I'll try to get is fixed for you.

Everyone have a great morning, and see you again in a bit.

Sarah - ahem - firefighter Sarah. Maybe you have a 2nd career in the making?

GE - that was enlightening and funny! Stick around - maybe I can learn some more English from you. Looked up your posting name - wow! Chemistry wasn't my strong suit!

Moggy. (I rather fancy that - as they say!)

CW - I think I will take a bowl out by the swing on the front porch. Gonna drag a book or two out there - need to brush up on my "edjumacation!"

Larry, is there any other kind, except for Real maple syrup?!?!

Larry, it wasn't that breezy here today, so you could have flown a kite
down here.

Sarah, congratulations on putting out the fire in the mulch!! You go, girl!!

Well, it has certainly been quite a long time since I was last in here but, anyway did I read this correctly, we're haveing breakfast for supper?? YES!!!! I think I'll have a stack of three buttermilk pancakes please, w/ sauage please? Can I have a glass of OJ to go with it?

Man, I don't think school work ever stops, but wait a min....I'm graduating so it will stop then!!! The good news is today, I got most of my work done, so I don't have that much to do over the weekend.

Well, I might as well say this since I wasn't on here last Friday to post it up on the diner. I put out a fire in Cherry Hill, NJ at a Walgreens parking lot. It was started because some stupid punk threw a ciggeratte (sp) into a multch pile, and guess what the air was so dry perfict for fire blazzes. So I went inside the Walgreens and told a cashier about it and snached the fire extinguisher (sp) and went to work. The manager was outside with me, I also had to use my foot to put out secondary fires, then when it was all over I handed the extinguisher to the manager and said "Have an Nice Evening Sir" walked, away and drove off in my truck. That was the highlight of my month right there!!!!!

I do love breakfast for supper! Real maple syrup on the pancakes, please.

Nice day today here, although I think I saw Joe's hat blow by. I think it was even too windy for kites!

OK - I am half English - half German - obviously the German half doesn't know what a moggy is and the English half isn't talking.

So enlighten me!

Jim - I will not be responsible for you holding your breath and having dire consequences.

I doubt CW will let us eat lunch on you. She probably figures a table would be a little more secure. You know you will shake from laughter.....!

There's always chocolate cake around here. I bake them, and put frosting on,
and freeze them; that way I always have some chocolate cake on hand. And
when the count in the freezer gets down to two left, I start baking again. Act-
ually, I do that with all the cakes (and pies) I make for the Diner.
