Glad you all liked the idea of breakfast for supper. Think that just has to
be done sometimes to break the monotony.

Looking out the 8th floor window of the chicken coop, it looks pretty substantial.

Hot cider to go please!

Ahhhh...but let's not forget the only weather stand-by which seems to work in Colorado. If you don't like the weather in Colorado, all you need do is wait five minnutes, or drive five miles! [8D]

Big boom down in Ed's neighborhood (Texas City). Appears that only casualities were employees of a contractor working on the site. I'd be nervous working around those places.

Breakfast for supper - always a favorite of mine!

[cherokee woman]

Sorry I'm so late getting here today: had to go to a meeting this morning.

Since breakfast and lunch are over, let's think about supper, shall we?

We will have your choice of turkey bacon or sausage with pancakes
tonight for supper. Toppings for the pancakes will be choice of maple
syrup, blueberry syrup, or clear syrup. Also will have scrambled eggs to
go with it.

Joe! I have access to said band - ! We are going to try the let's be reasonable and then all bets are off. I can probably get my finners on a couple of different bands! Maybe a couple of really loud locomotive horns, too?

Great idea!

Todays weather in the lower SE is warm with a maybe of PM T/showers

[Mookie]

Ok - it is morning - again! Got a new t-shirt saying:

"Don't take life so seriously. It isn't permanent!"

Ah - words to live by!

Short night - the crew next door is now running in shifts. We seem to have 3 crews - 3pm to 10 pm - kids screeching and jumping off furniture. 10 pm to 3am - Mom screeching at kids, 3 am to when we leave at 5:30 - Dad and Mom screeching at each other! (Dad works until 3:30 am). They sleep all day, we work all day and 3 pm it all starts over!

Driver has a path worn to their door, but this morning he threatened to talk to them in plain English. So rather than have more screeching, gotta call the landlady! As soon as I wake up from my nap!

Every time we stopped at a rest stop for lunch on I-80, we'd make sandwiches. If the wind was blowing, as it always seemed to do along I-80, it would dry the bread out before you could finish making your sandwich. Voila! Non-traditionally toasted toast.

I was laughing so hard when I told the Driver about this he had trouble understanding me! It's true to this day, too!

Ahem! It was a small "let's hang a picture" hammer. The toaster was perfectly good and made good toast. Just needed a little "adjusting" each time to move the toast around. And Mookie knew more than you think - she didn't put the toaster into the dishwasher - she didn't have a dishwasher - she had to use the dishwater and sink that all the other dishes used! Rinse well!

And speaking of GE - we had our GE microwave not even two months and it "flamed-out" Took it back and got a Sharp - and a $10.70 credit - it was cheaper. The guy that carried the GE in to send back - just accepted it with a look that said "another GE going back!" Forum members would have been happy - it reacted just like a Dash9!

Chip sandwich?

[espeefoamer]

When I went to weekend church camp as a kid, we would put chips on our hamburgers and crunch away [dinner]!

[JoeKoh]

to make a proper sandwhich you need chips and to sma***hem between the meat and the bread.it all mixes together anyway.

A long time ago I was working in a machine shop, and one of the welders made himself a tuna sandwich. To toast the bread, he fired up his torch and ran it back and forth over the bread. Toasted it black as coal. And he ATE it too!

Supper tonight will be creamy tuna and pasta with roasted garlic, and a
bread crumb topping. Will have it ready around 6:30. So get you appetites
ready, okay?

[locomutt]

As I was growing up,Mom did toast the same way as CW's family did.
I can't even recall how old I was before we got a toaster,and for CW and
myself,that's stilll how we do it,when we fix toast.

[cherokee woman]

Growing up, we never had a toaster: just put the bread under the broiler,
and made toast that way. We finally got a toaster about the time I was
16, 17 years old.

[tree68]

One of the "highlights" of our annual vacation to my aunt's cottage when I was a kid was using the old "one side at a time" toaster. When one side was done you opened the door, the slice of bread slid down with the untoasted side up and you closed the door again to toast the other side. A real antique even then - but fascinating to us kids....

[cherokee woman]

Mookie, thanks for doing breakfast! Joe, we're not getting the snow, just
rain here in Louisville. If we got the thunder storms (was supposed to be
around 2 a.m.), I slept through them: never heard a thing overnight.

Also (almost forgot), I definitely like the curls in your hair, Mookie!

[JoeKoh]

Mookie
by the time we needed to call tree the toast would be black.snow and rain here today yuk!!!
stay safe

Hiya well todays weather will be hi mid 80s & possible Tshowers

[Mookie]

%~% Got the hair around my ears curled - like it?

Breakfast - I will put out something to help out CW. Let's see - got a package of little smokies - those are so good. Spread them out on the floor and hook each one with a nail to put them on a plate.

A pan of Mudchickens future relatives - use same claw to make broken and over hard eggs.

Brought in old toaster - you make toast with a hammer. You put in bread slices and then use hammer to pound the lever down and when it smells like time to call Tree, you use the hammer to pound the lever back up. (true story from many, many years ago) And safety first! Unplug toaster before you use hammer!

Ok - got milk!

Breakfast is served!

You're welcome!

Mook [C=:-)]

[cherokee woman]

You are entirely welcome, Joe. Knew any and all kinds of cookies would
go over nicely here. Of course, I have hidden the ones decorated for Easter:
don't want them all gone before Sunday!!
