Very Carefully -

And - you should add onion to the mixture - I don't cook with onion - I am allergic to it, so don't use it at all, but love it!

CW - porcupine meatballs - hamburger, 1 egg, little milk and add rice - never measure, so just so it is mooshy and not too dry. Rice will take the moisture.

Make meatballs, brown on two sides, cover with tomato sauce and/or puree. Simmer slowly about 15 min - yum....

Easy to make and fairly fast!

Dave, it's a long story, so here goes....

The WSOR had it's passenger fleet, consisting of two E9's, 1 F7, and a few coaches, sleepers, ect. They ran excursions periodically, on no schedual, untill I think 2001. A few months later, the equipment, all except for three cars to be used on business trains, was sold to the City of Middleton, a Suburb of Madison. After a year of running "transportaion services" like taking people from parking lots to the collage football stadium on game days. After about a year the operation went belly up, and the equipment was kindly stored by its former owners at it's head quarters In Milwaukee, WI. The equipment was never repainted, it ran as it was sold. Well, for two and a half years the equipment sat in storage, untill about two months ago, when Middleton decided to sell the equipment back to the WSOR. Right now, the engines are being reworked, as it badly damaged them sitting for two years doing nothing. All of us WSOR fans are hopeing they'll begin running excursions again soon. I never saw the equipment, the closest I got was seeing the coaches sitting out side the head quarters between the bushes last spring. If you want I can provide a few pictures, not mine, but I know a few links.

Also, the engine in the Picture was repainted about a year or two ago, it's now 2051, which runs up to my town fairly often.

Monday morning and I am alone in here.

Clarification is in order - it isn't proper to eat cat - no matter your ethnicity. Just ain't proper.

Driver home from week in Wyoming fly fishing. Longest week I ever spent! Don't like to be separated like that. Had to take out the garbage and drive myself to work. Lot of extra work!

Breakfast - cantaloupe and bacon, cheese and tomato omelettes. Yummmmm....,

Lunch - fre***omatoes and cucumbers!

Dinner - porcupine meatballs -

Happy Mookie

Thanks Noah [:D] - but you're right - unlikely for me [:(] - but I can look at the pictures and read the articles, heh heh [;)][:)]

I'm not sure if you've told me before, but how often does the WSOR passenger train run that is pictured in your signature? Looks great [:)][;)] (I've gotta admit - I do have a liking for good looking passenger trains [:)] )

Weird Al wrote a song about Chinese food. It was a parody to "Cat in the Craddle," entitled "Cat in the Kettle"

It goes...

"Did you ever think when you eat Chinese?
It ain't pork or chicken, but a fat siamese.
But the food taste great, so you don't complain,
but that's not chicken in your chicken choumein.
It seems to me I ordered Sweet and Sour Pork,
But Garfield's on my fork.
He's purring here on my fork...

There's a cat in the kettle at the Pi King Moon.
The place that I ate everyday at noon.
They can feed you cat and you'll never know.
Once they wrap it up in dough.
Their bright, real crispin' dough.

Chou lin, that's great, I want it more,
As you were dialin' up your buddy at the ol' pet store.
I said not today, I've lost my appotite,
There's two cats in my belly, and they want to fight.
I was suckin' on a Rolaids, and a Tums or two,
When I swear I heard it mew, boy.
And that is where I knew...

There's a cat in the kettle at the Pi King Moon.
I think I gotta stop eating there at noon.
They say that it's beef, or fish, or pork.
But, it's purring here on my fork.
There's a hairball on my fork.

YAY! KAREOKE!

Joe,

Let me guess: Matt snuck all the chocolate cupcakes, and hid them for himself. But
HOW did squirt guns mysteriously appear?! Shouldn't that be "accidentally appeared?

How many chicken legs did Matt devour, and did you all have any deviled eggs and
potato salad?
