Pat, Pat and TJ, (TJ, come to the front, TJ)....We got less than a quarter inch of rain yesterday, and the day before just a little less than half inch. thankfully that storm bypassed us, and hopefully it will again bypass us today. So far we've gotten .02 inches today, it's just drippy and soggy.
Jimmie Lee, it's probably going to be come and go and eat whenever you get here, or whenever anyone wants to partake O the nectar O the Gods. I had originally put the start time at around 10 AM so that the early folks that dont like staying late, can come and leave early if so desired. So, no specific time to eat, just eat when you get through greeting everyone. Heck, eat all day long...I call it grazing!
Pat, taco salad sounds wonderful. All fat and calories will be suspended Saturday the 18th, so bring it on. It's not often all you old people get to indulge in a little decadence. I love tacos! When I was a young whipper snapper going to ironworker apprentice school, I'd stop at Jack In the Box and get 5, count em 5 greasy tacos for 1 dollar, and woof em down in a megaparsec. INSTANT HEARTBURN ! Thank goodness for Tums. Today, eating just one of those artery cloggers would probably send me into the twilight zone.
We make great tacos up here at the monastery. Soft breakfast tacos and crispy ones also too. They are considerably less greasy than 50 years ago. The beef I buy from Lindemans in Industry, or Grolczks in Hempstead is locally grown, and cooks up with almost no fat or grease left in the pan. It's amazing just how good things are purchased locally as opposed to buying them from China.
We buy local honey and vegies, bread etc. It might be a tad more expensive, but what the heck, your body is a temple, and how would it look if you took cheap food and all to the Lords temple. I think not!
Pat, since you were on the forum, it can be said that you arrived safely home! Yea! I'm not sure what all is being brung, and the amount. but I think most everything has been covered. However, and aint there always a "however", I will let my beloved check the list out just to be sure. My memory seems to have lost it's memory!
If you have a favorite dish and would like to share it, then by all means bring it, but it is not a requirement. I dont like taking dishes of anything anywhere, except from the stove to the table. Totin em half across Texas is not my idear of fun. When you go rumaging through your cupboard looking for a certain dish or vessel, you cant find it and then you remember you left it up on blueberry hill etc.
I remember on one particular occasion when I was single and had a 74 red VW, (my favorite car of all time) I was invited to a "bring a dish" party. I didnt get invited too many places back in them good ol days, so I wanted to make a good impression, so I made my specialty, SPAGHETTI SAUCE !
To make a long story short, and you all know how hard that is for me, Going around a corner at warp speed, I sort of spilled some of the sauce in my VW. SOME? Try about a pint O that delectable and oderiferous concoction! I cleaned and cleaned on my bug for weeks, nay months, and never could get the smell of "Itally" out of my little bug. Everytime I got in to go somewhere, I always got the hankerin for some
eyetalian food.
When I sold my VW, the people that test drove it remarked that it smelled like an eyetalian restaurant, and what was up with that! Today I would have said that it ran on pasta sauce, but being not so much a smartaleck when transactin bidness, I told em the truth...The car was previously owned by Chef-Boy-Ar-De, and he made deliveries. They seemed to accept that line of bullpucky, so all's well that ends well.
I wish I hadnt sold that car, but I got exactly what I paid for it, 1900 dollars. And that was after driving it for 10 or 5 years.
I put a pioneer quadraphonic system in it, back when I could do that sort of thing. I'm here to tell you that's probably one of the reasons I've gone deaf, that and playing in the band. Those of you that owned a VW, will attest to the airtightness of said vehicle. Just shutting the a door with the windows up would almost pulverize your eardrums.
But That pioneer system could make you come to Jesus when cranked up. But, seeing as how I like music, loud, and Jesus, it wasnt such a bad thing. Of course I sing a different tune today, just cant hear it, but sing nonetheless.
So, there you go....
