Carl,

Although you can get almost anything you want at the "Diner";
We haven't installed "pumps" outside,so that you can get GAS also !!!!

[jeaton]

February 1. A very strange day. Temperature here is almost 40 degrees. My Medicare coverage kicks in. I think I will cancel my appointments, go back to bed and stay there all day. (Maybe finish reading Trains.)

[Mookie]

Model Car - Double Ack!

Jim - One muffin here, please!

Tom - So glad you are back. We need some new entertainment!

BC and LM - [tdn]

I am going to be a vegetablarian today and have the driver fix Cauliflower Maranca. Its a casserole of cauliflower (duh), cheddar cheese, rice and chix broth. It is sooooo good!

Garnish with roast beef and blueberry pie ala mode....

See Veggies are good for you!

Are you coming through Louisville any time soon ?
If so;maybe we need to get our heads together on the "marinade"!!!

As much as I'd love to, I don't see it happening anytime soon. Our son is getting married in Las Vegas in December, and our daughter has indefinite plans for marriage as well, and she'll be the more expensive one, of course- so all of our time and energy over the next year or two will be focused towards those events. My wife does have a cousin living in Cincinnatti that we'd like to come over and visit someday. If a get-together at their house somehow materializes, I'll be sure and let you know. In the meantime, we're limiting our pleasure trips to a couple of forays either to Minneapolis or to Chicago (one of the Christmas gifts I gave my wife was tickets to the play Wicked at the Ford Theater)..

[cherokee woman]

Well, good morning everyone! It's now 8:36, and I've been up just a few minutes.
Bed was just tooo comfy to get out of this morning! More coffee is on, and the
juice is freshly made.

Looks like we've got muffins for breakfast, courtesy of Jhh.

Tom, good to see you in here. Are you teaching your two year old all about
trains? Bet you are.

[Modelcar]

...I'll try mentioning another "special" today and see how it flies: We'll go with good roasted dark meat chicken, {that's falling off the bones}, sweet potatoes...{Not the stringy red yams, we need the yellow Jersey sweets}....some peas or baked beans will do and bread and butter....Drinks to the liking of each indivdual. Chocolate ice cream desert....{Now Jen, this should fit into your taste much better...}.

[Mookie]

Ah much better! I think I can live with that menu. Just never developed a taste for the sea - unless it is Orange Roughy and then I can't afford it! But it is a favorite. So I settle for Charlie of the Sea. Otherwise, I am strictly midwest - meat and taters!

Ergo......Moo....

[Modelcar]

...My problem of what I requested is: We can almost never find the yellow sweet potatoes....Almost never...! We are always told they are identified as: Jersey sweets....and perhaps that is correct. We were able to find them much easier back in Pennsylvania then out here in Indiana....Those baked sweets with lots of butter...hmmmm, good...!

Joe,

Don't have to go south;maybe just east of us here;
Come to think of it;we could probably go anywhere in the state to get what I think you are talking about !!!!!!


Quentin,not real sure about the "sweet potatoes/yams" but we'll try to do
them for the Diner.(don't really like the taste,;but marshmellows always
are good !!)

[CShaveRR]

Sweet potatoes need a sweeter sauce. Used to get them done with butter and Karo syrup (probably other stuff, too).

This year I hope to be able to say that I biked to work at least once each month. For February, I'm thinking today's the day! Tomorrow I'm working nights, and after that we get cold weather again.

[Modelcar]

Yea, I can handle marshmellows on the sweets....but we still have to include lots of butter.....Hmmm good.

[waltersrails]

coffee for me to go got MW to wacth.

[cherokee woman]

Carl, sounds like you fix sweet potatoes the way my Mama did: she always had
plenty of butter (or margarine) on in them, and brown sugar, I think; and she al-
ways had Karo syrup to pour over them before adding the mini-marshmallows.

Hi Folks (or maybe that should be Forks [:o)] get it diner and forks hahaha [:D] ) <Jim made a funny [:o)] [:I] [8)] [^] [:p] >


Ok, people, out of one dozen muffins only 4 left. Gee them little suckers sure are good. [:p] [;)] I have a package of apple cinamon and another one of blueberry. [:p]

It is cloudy today. [:(] Duchess is outside while it is not raining. It looks like it could rain any minute. The temp is somewhere in the upper 50s.

Our January was about 15 degrees warmer on average than it should have been. But, that certainly saved on the heating bill. [^] I just hope the summer is not 15 degrees hotter than normal.

I am having left over cheese dip for lunch. You know how it is, with sausage and hamburger and Velvetta in it, it is way to expensive to waste. [B)] So today will finish it off. It was good, but after 3 days I am getting tired of it.

Well the noon news is on so I am off to view it. [:)]

Take Care.

[blhanel]

OK, I've got a big batch of chops marinating for those who would like to try them. Fire up the grill! The grilling procedure for these babies is to sear them for three to four minutes on each side, then stand them on the bone and cover the grill for 15 minutes.

[Anonymous]

OK guys and gals, batton down the hatches. [:0] [B)] [8]

The weather man says that a MAJOR weather pattern change is building up in Canada. It may start affecting the US (northern states) as early as Friday afternoon. Currently the prediction is for lows in the single didgits up north. Here they are saying, we could go below normal for our temps. Sounds like winter may be showing up, late, but still showing up. [:(]

After the much warmer weather we have been having this chill down will definately be hard to take. [V] I hope it doesn't turn out as bad as they are currently predicting. I sure hope mother nature has not fooled our flowers and animals, as it will be as hard on them as it is on us. We will definately know by Sunday if their prediction is true or not, time will tell. [;)]

Well the cheese dip is all gone now. [:p] As I said, it was good, but after 3 days it just isn't the same as the first day.

Now, anyone want to volunteer to help me do housework [?] It seems I can never get caught up. AND to make matters worse, a friend from the Chicago area might be coming down soon to visit. [:0] (No, it is not Carl, but he does work for a railroad [;)] ) Trust me, that is definately motivation. [;)]

I can't say that the maid's pay is good, but the company is fantastic. [:o)] [;)] [:D] Now sent those resumes to me ASAP

[Mookie]

I only do dishes and since you have Duchess, you really don't need a dish-doer.

Sorry !

I have to beat myself with a stick to get house cleaning done! But I hide things well! [:D]

I don't need a dishwasher, I already have a GE Profile Triton. [;)] I DO NEED A MAID. All appliciations gladly accepted. [;)]

Now I must get off of here and start housework or else it won't get done.

BYE [^]

OH GOODIE, so since the US is going to be experiencing some weather changes due to Canada, then does this mean that the great state of Pennsylvania is going to get some SNOW FINALLY???? If so it's time for me to get the snowboard out.

What is this I'm hearing about sweet potatos?? Are we having them tonight or something? I do have to say if you want REAL and I mean REAL potatos go with RED potatos or the regular kind, not the sweet stuff.

Well, lets see whats going on here with me today...um nothing. Except I found a huge puddle of Anti-Frezze underneath my truck today, found out that my water pump is leaking terribly, and I will end up replacining it ASAP. It's only cosing me 70 bucks, because I'm going to be doing the labor on it. I also had to clean up the Anti-Frezze, and currently have a bucket sitting underneath my truck. More good news...............huh.

Nice answer Mook;seems like we've become very adapt at "hiding" things !!
Only problem with that,is we're "running" out of "space" to put things in.

And Housecleaning ????!!!!!!!!! YUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!
Only when it has to be done,and totally necessary !!!!!

We have two cats and a "dog" for things like cleaning dishes !!!!
(No actual "Dishwasher )

Brian,(Ia.)
Sounds very similar to the ones that CW makes under the recipe she
got from the Crock Pot recipe book for pork chop" abracadbra."
Looking forward to trying yours!! It sounds great !!!

[Anonymous]

Got any Soda today? I know I could use one..

[cherokee woman]

Brian, the pork chops were excellent!! Good job. Looks like we've found another
griller to help Larry and Mutt out around here.

Jim, if I remember the weather from our 6 p.m. local newscast, think we might
possibly how some snow (showers or flurries) Sunday. That's if I'm remem-
bering the forecast correctly.

My ex was adept at that method of house cleaning, which was fine (at least the house looked nice) until you needed something that you left out on purpose in the first place....[}:)]

Brian - Plenty of room at the grille! You're always welcome.

You know, despite the fact that the winter doldrums haven't really been this year for a large number of us, maybe it's time for a "summer" event on Friday. CW - get the fixin's ready - hamburgers and hot dogs on the grille, with all your favorite toppings, as well as your favorite salads (potato with bacon for me). Don't know if we can scare up any watermelon (not to mention having to clean up all the seeds from the spitting distance contest), so we'll have to settle for some pie. A la mode!

[Modelcar]

....Yes, good to clean up antifreeze as animals like the taste of it and it's deadly. Water pump is an expensive little item....Paid my Chevrolet dealer about 250 to have one installed about a year ago before I traded that truck...Labor is a bunch of it....But I'm done doing any labor part of it....Hope you have good luck doing yours...{Sarah}....
Potatoes....Give me the good old yellow ones...{Jersey Sweets}, and you can have the red ones....ha....

[blhanel]

Hi all, glad the chops were a hit- sorry I couldn't hang around to clean up afterwards, as it's bell choir and vocal choir practice at the church on Wednesdays here. Busy, busy, busy!

Time for some shut-eye...[zzz]

Take Care.

JIM put the "Muffins" away !!!!!! Get away from them,and there will be no
more actions taken against you !! You had to mentionn "apple-cinnamon",
and "Blueberry", My favorites !!!!!

Not sure if this falls under the "Good-News",or "Bad-News" category,but "crews" have arrived on the scene,to start removing the barge that is
"lodged" against the K. & I. bridge. They are now saying;that it might take up to 5 weeks to complete.

[Mookie]

I just arrived and read Tree's missive. I am scrooching my chair really close to him. He sounds like my kind of "eater". Potato salad with bacon - yum. That's one I haven't tried!
And watermelon - to die for. Cats don't have lips, so can't spit seeds, but can play a mean game of tiddly-winks!

Sarah - If we get snow, I am personally boxing it up to send to you! Postage due, too! You can have our share. We will trade that for some good California rain.

CW - I am making a request for split-pea and ham soup. Think we can do that? Yum!
And no - not shades of Rosemary's Baby! What a waste of good split-pea soup!
