Here is the list of pizzas for our SATURDAY NIGHT PIZZA FEST:

1.  supreme
2.  Hawaiian
3.  pepperoni/sausage
4.  goetta
5.  extra cheese

We had a great turnout for the Health-Fun Fair.  Even though it was very breezy,
and overcast.  Seemed like everyone had a very good time.  Looking forward
to next year.

NOTE TO EVERYONE: 

I'm going to take tomorrow off (something I don't do, unless I'm sick),
so you all will have to divy up kitchen duties for Sunday breakfast
and Sunday Dinner/Supper.

Oooh!  Oooh!  Hawaiian for me!

I'd offer to cook tomorrow morning, but it's one more day on the railroad.  We had a pretty good day today despite (or perhaps because of) the arrival of Ernesto in the area. 

Interesting day, too.  The RS3 wouldn't start, so we ended up running with the SW1.  Between the wet rail and the usual 3 cars, the poor old (1939) girl had her work cut out for her.  The customers get a little longer ride.  I'm not sure what the grades are, but they are significant, and having 600 HP instead of 1600 HP is an issue...  The RS3 will probably be in the shop for the rest of the season.

Then, on the way home, I drove up on a one car accident.  It appeared the young lady lost control on wet roads.  She hit a power pole, shearing it off at the base and cracking it further up, but looks to have only minor injuries, making her especially lucky, since she didn't have her seat belt on, although the air bag deployed.  The power pole was still standing, fortunately.

Time to clean things up for tomorrow.

[SactoGuy188]

Tonight's SATURDAY PIZZA FEST won't be ready until about 7:30 tonight, since
I'll probably be "working" at the Health-Fun Fair two doors up from our house, at
the community center.  It is to end at 4, but I'll have to start making up the pizzas
when I get back. 

Dibs on the Supreme topping pizza when it's ready.

Good Saturday morning, everyone!  Joe, are you and Matt still around?  Maybe Matt
would like to help me get breakfast going here this moning.  He could help me make
the biscuits for this morning, and I'm sure he could take a fork and scramble the eggs
in the bowl, before they go into the skillet. 

Saturday brunch will be:  bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, hash
browns, pancakes, syrup, grits, oatmeal, and toast will be on the warmer bar in
about 45 minutes.  Will keep everything on the breakfast warmer bar until 2 p.m.,
EDT.

I'll have some perch and fries.  We're going out tonight!  My girlfriend and I have the same weekend off for the first time in 6 months!  Going to see a comedian at the Skyline Comedy Cafe, so I'll pop in later.  Have a great weekend all!

Hope you enjoyed the fish!  CW I'll help out anytime!

[CShaveRR]

Greetings from the Tri-Cities Division (nearest we've been to civilization for a while!).  Pleasant weather so far in the northern reaches--we've had to use a blanket at night!  Late-season flies have disrupted the evening beach walks, but I haven't seen skies so clear since...well, since the last time we were up here!

I'll be back home before my sister gets back from her weekend. 

[locomutt]

Mmmmmmm...CW...the  Mahi Mahi was great! (BTW, it's a delicate Hawaiian fish...very tender and very un-fishy tasting).

Well, I've got a Fantast Football draft tonight, so wish me luck. Hope you all have a great evening, and a great weekend!

Chris; just looked up the definition of "Mahi-Mahi"; Does this mean you brought us some:
"FLIPPER"????!!!!

Well, everyone, I've got the deep fryer going with lake perch, Chris' Mahi Mahi,
and trout (thank goodness for very large deep fryers), and a couple of other
kinds of fish.  Got another deep fryer going with fries, and the first batches of
each are just about ready to take out, and eat.  Corn on the cob is boiling on
the range/stove, and fresh slaw is in the cooler. 

In the pie/cake cooler, there is chocolate cake, white cake w/white icing, pecan
pie, apple pie, and peach pie.  And there's plenty of ice cream in the freezer, if
anyone wants ice cream with/or without the pie/cake. 

Everyone have a great evening, and try to stay as dry as possible while outdoors.

Chris and Dan, appreciate your help with today's Fish Fry.  Chris, not exactly sure
what Mahi Mahi is, but I'll try a piece of it, along with lake perch, fries, and a
slice of chocolate cake. 

And I'll supply the fresh corn on the cob, and slaw. 

Dan, our current temp is about 71, and very, very cloudy.  Looks like it could
start raining anytime!!

[CNW 6000]

I've also got some fish for the fry tonight.  I was out this morning after work and snagged some fresh Lake Perch, Crappies, and Bluegills.  I'm also going to make a big container of Creek-bank Potatoes.  Probably be warm ~ 4 or so. 

It's 70 degrees out at Noon, nary a cloud in the sky, and just a hint of a breeze!  WHAT A GORGEOUS DAY!  My turn for the hammock...for a while anyway!

*For the kittie:  milk, coffee, and chocolate plates are on the counter.  Enjoy!

[CopCarSS]

Morning All,

CW, good to see you back! I didn't know if you were feeling 100% this morning, so I brought in a couple fish to help with the Friday Fish Fry. I've got some Trout, fresh from CO, and (as a special request) I bought some Mahi Mahi (sp?) at the grocery store. Would you mind cooking that up for me? I've never had much luck cooking Mahi Mahi. Let me know if you need any help in the kitchen.

Well, I'll be headed out for the weekend as of tomorrow. I have a cousin from IL that'll be in town. We're planning on hitting the Georgetown Loop, the Cumbres and Toltec and the San Luis Express. I'll be sure to grab some shots and post them here.

Well, catch you all later. Hope you have a great day, and if you're leaving today, have good safe trips everybody, and catch you here on Tues!

TTFN!

^~^ -  special thanx to all who look out for caffeine starved, milk-hungry, chocolate cake lovin', messy 4 footed, fur-coated set of sharp teef.....

I chewed off a boquet of flowers from CW's garden to put on the table.  (ate the ants!)  (taste like chicken!)

Speaking of - heard they had alligator on a stick at our state fair - and about the taste - well you can fill in the blanks!  Personally, I would have chewed on the stick - tossed the alligator. 

CW - thanx for well-wishes - I will take off around noon to 2pm and be back on Tuesday.  Got an apron ready for driver - it is fall cleaning time.  I will direct! 

Sarah, Tree - anyone east of me - stay out of the bad weather, but enjoy the rain.

Good Friday morning, everyone!  Yes, I'm back today, and feeling better.  Headache's
just about all gone. 

Joe, and Chris, thank you two so very much for taking the cooking duties yesterday.
I really appreciate it.  That was very nice of you two!  Also, thanks to Mutt for doing
breakfast yesterday morning!!

And Dan, thank you for doing breakfast this morning, and making the coffee and juice.
Think I'd like a couple of waffles w/maple syrup, scrambled eggs, and a couple of
sausage patties, please.  And I  think I'll take a glass of oj, and one of those extra
large cups of coffee. 

EXTRA SPECIAL NOTE TO ALL:
For those of you who may only work half a day, and start your long weekend, I hope
you have a very good and safe holiday.  Want to be sure everyone returns on
Tuesday safe and well!!

[CNW 6000]

Good morning all!  I'll get the early bird chores done!  Coffee's going, juice made fresh this morning, donuts made fresh this morning, and I've got a couple of choices for you for food.  Scrambled eggs, omlette's (name your filling!) French Toast, pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage, ham steak, and  hash browns!  I hope you're hungry!  Everything's ready to eat so I'll put in on the warmer bar for your enjoyment!  Got an extra large coffee cup or two here filled and ready to go!

Alright everybody...it's a little early out west here, but I don't want any easterners getting hungry, so supper is served. Mook, the plate next to the hammock has been refilled, and the milk topped off.

[Mookie]

Did Mookie find any of Tin Shoes former ankle covering whilst cleaning the implements of destruction (to go with the mayo, kibble, etc.? ) The asparagus patch at the border had all these funny red droplets a few days ago.

It's nail polish!

[locomutt]

Bagel w/kibble ran out.  So opened lots of cans of tuna, sardines, salmon.....

Tipped over a jar of mayo, bit open a loaf of bread (sorry about the bite marks on some of the bread)

Now the hard part - had to stick paw in mayo and mix it with above.  But it is ok - I washed my paws - extra well!  Got all the kitty litter out from between the toes.  Hope I can now get the mayo out of the same place.  But cleaning the extra off - I am now full and don't need more lunch. 

Enjoy!

I did.

Mook

At least YOU GOT LUNCH!!!!!

Guess this means we have do A LOT of restocking in the "pantry"!!!
(there are some "moist towelettes" around here ya know!!)
