Hey have we ran out of things to talk about? There hasn't been a lot of new topics. Any ideas?
|
I live in my own little world - but that's okay, they know me here! |

Why Mr. Dillon, you are a man of many talents! Girls love a guy who can cook!
But, do we dare ask what happened on your 1st cooking attempt?!!

It's raining in Kentucky today (Aug 16). Kind of feels like fall. How is it in other parts of the country?
And just to make sure we at least mention something about LOTM - Uncas and Hawkeye are HOT!!!!!!!   |

That was Hamburger Helper. That came out pretty good too. So far, no bad attempts. |

It's cooled off now, but last week, Alaska was frying in the heat. (Of course here, 80 degrees is killer hot.) My husband and I were laying the foundation for our barn in the sun and thought we were dying. We had our shirts soaked in cold water and wet towels around our necks. I realize you Southerners will laugh at us, but up until the last two years, we only hit 80 degrees one or two days a year. Even temps in the 70s were unusual. Now we are back to our more common 60s and we love it. Fall must be just around the corner.

| I'm with you Chris, - honestly don't know how folks can live down south. Gets much over 75ish, and that's about all I can stand. This has truly been a "summer from hell" here. With the "heat index" it's been around 102* - 106*, completely unbearable. Thank G*d it's cooled off lately, mid-sixties in the morning, and fall closing in - not soon enough! |

I guess you just get accustomed to it. I can tolerate the heat, but I think I am freezing to death if the temperature drops below 40 degrees! 
Congratulations on your cooking success Wade! I've prepared things even the dog won't touch yet I press on..... |

I was back in Vermont for two weeks last month and the temperature was over 90 most of the time I was there. It was unbelievable. Of course no one had air conditioning, so we had fans blowing on us whenever we were indoors. Although I love visiting family, it was good to get home.

Alaska sounds like a place that I would love to visit, but I just have to mention it to my husband and he starts shivering.  Hey Chris, did you ever get together with Cherie and Marc. I bet that they loved Alaska!!!
Love,

They're coming in Sat. night and I'll get together with them then. The weather has turned cloudy and rainy, so I'm hoping it clears up again for them.

Since I've been living alone, I've cooked up some great rotisserie chicken - also fried - meat loaf, turkey, lasagna, even some Mexican ... Of course, some lady named Swanson helped out a bit ... but hey, I turned on the microwave!
Chris - be sure to say "hello" to Marc & Cherie for me!!! |

The damp weather really brought out the rust on my First Model Long Land Pattern firelock and things finally calmed down enought so I could finally do something about it. As I scrubbed and polished, I was thinking about the idea of having nothing to talk about. When the conversation lags, there are always related things to be done.
Sergeant Pray brought forcemeat for breakfast last weekend. Breakfast sausage flavoured with cloves and nutmeg was surprizing. 18th century flavoring is probably not a good thing to spring on your friends. |

Well, since this thread, by its very nature, is heading every which way [thanks LOTM!], I'll take it yet another ...
Here are a couple of pics taken this past Wednesday. My Mom was down here in NC for a visit.

You certainly have beautiful kids, Rich. You must be a very proud daddy! Sophia looks wonderful. How old are they now? You have one married, one in college, and where's the other one?

I just got home from visiting with Cherie and Mark. They've had a great trip, but I think they're ready to be home. They fly out tomorrow morning. They've had great weather up until today, so they weren't able to see Mt. McKinley on the train trip down from Fairbanks. It's been smoky here too due to all the fires in the Interior. They also haven't seen much wildlife. They especially wanted to see a moose, but no luck. Cherie says she'll post some pictures from the trip. She said she has a great one of a whale breaching. I'm looking forward to seeing that one.

I am sure that the rotisserie chicken, fried chicken, meatloaf, turkey and lasagna turned out good. But I'm not sure that Mexican liked being cooked! |

Thought I'd check in since I haven't been around in a while and this seemed like as good a place as any to update folks...
I've spent the past month or so filling in as night editor at the paper because we've had so many staff changes and I LOVE it...you get to do a lot of spot news and thinking on your feet...plus I don't have to spend as much time talking to all the wingnuts the religion beat seems to be attracting these days!  Although we do get to talk to all the wingnuts who call us at night after one tequila too many and think they are seeing space aliens...
Anyway, weather in South Carolina has gone from horribly horrendously hot (heat index 108) last weekend to beautiful, warm and sunny. I'm sitting here wondering if my poor cousins in the Florida Panhandle are going to get flattened again by Katrina ...and we're hoping to get through this Friday night without our usual weekly brawl or friendly neighborhood riot at a football game. Last week Mace and fists were flying across town...so far tonight it's quiet.
so how has YOUR week been?

No picture of me 'cause I've broken too many cameras. BTW, that Mexican did scream a little, but he sure tasted good!  |
