Weather 4Cast: Torrential 4s All Day
BBQ? Hi there Manny and gang. Home from the office for a quick lunch. Welcome lurkers and Newbies. Pull up a chair over there under the umbrella. There’s a nice cool breeze there. Manny will be happy to get you a cool drink and some friendly conversation. Happy Pond dwelling!
It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, leezy! How are you?
Hey CG…doing great. I am trying to keep things in better balance these days. Thanks for asking!!
you forgot to mention that we’re going to be hanging out on your awesome porch that overlooks the Pacific.
Hey Manny…great pic! Hey, are you gonna be visiting anytime soon? Always welcome at Chez Leezy my friend!
soon as I would like…I just spent four days in Flagstaff for a mini-vacation as it seems I’ll be on lockdown until Christmas. blech. If I decide to renounce all responsiblities and get on the road you’ll definitely see me as your area is my favorite nearby getaway.
If you come this way you have a room with a view…anytime. I would love that.
Two of my favorite things. Barbeque because it’s meaty and tangy, and newbies because they haven’t heard my jokes yet.
Newbies are meaty and tangy too!
And tasty with ketchup!
with Tabasco! I mean…um…..Here! Have some pie! Oh wait…no.ummmm…I carried a watermelon?
Salsa. Specifically Pace Mild Thick & Chunky. I know, it’s mass produced and wouldn’t satisfy someone who wants their taste buds to scream bloody murder instead of actually tasting the food, but that’s my salsa and I’ll stick with it.
I make my own pico de gallo but that’s because I don’t like jalapenos in it. See? Total wuss.
You might as well use catsup! Omir, Omir, Omir. Here’s a quick recipe:
Manny, Manny, Manny. Damnit, now I’m hungry. That PB&J for dinner didn’t really do it for me.
one of those for dinner last week, only it was on a tortilla. Could I be more of a token meskin? 😉
Were you wearing a sombrero?
It got stuck on the saguaro catcus I was leaning against during my afternoon siesta.
LOL!
We need to “get a rope” for OMIR 🙂
Thansk for the recipe!!!
Hey, I said I make my own pico. And as for ketchup . . . no, I know the difference. Yuck.
But thanks for the recipe. I might just have to try it with some fresh mild peppers — not bells, probably, but maybe anchos. Aren’t those the really wussy peppers?
wrong person to ask. I think jalapeños are on the wussy side of the spectrum :-X
That salsa recipe is good for a quick and dirty fix, much better than Pace [cringe] Picante [cringe].
I’m with you, Manny.
My ex-wife tought me some Ethiopian cooking (the only thing I can cook).
When they say very spicy, you better believe it.
Just the color of that scares me… 🙂
How are you this evening?
Hey CG,
Good, since I’m back home, relaxing and have a container of hops-based liquid in front of me.
And you? Recovered from braving the wilds of Central Park?
I’m good. The blister from my Central Park adventure has healed, and I’m looking forward to the next adventure. 🙂
I’m also looking forward to CBtE’s 14th birthday on Sunday.
going to try to make the RaggaeFest? They put on a kick ass show on Friday, they’re new stuff is hardhitting. They have a song about Katrina that had everyone riled up.
I have plans to do something with one of my girlfriends Friday night, so maybe I’ll just talk her into doing that. 🙂
Was it the same line-up in Tucson?
but I saw just Ozo in Flagstaff, gave me a good reason to get out of this heat!
Duh, wrong town.
I was wondering about the Marley part that will be here.
Let me know next time, maybe we can have a mimi meet-up.
CBtE turning 14! I bet he looks forward to it even more than you. Maybe you’ll relax some restrictions (though increased responsibility follows)?
I will definitely let you know the next time so we can meet up.
CBtE is definitely excited about the big day.
me of the achiote paste that is the most amazing rub for pork. mmmmm
Off,
Don’t know that one, but you have me convinced already (and hungry).
Only if you cook them right. (Um, did I just say that out loud?)
I don’t know why, but that reminds me of the sign you used to see above urinals, back when you could smoke in rest rooms (and when people thought such signs were witty):
PLEASE DON’T THROW YOUR CIGARETTE BUTTS IN THE URINAL
IT MAKES THEM SOGGY AND HARD TO LIGHT
Hmm,
Do you prefer your newbies rare or well done?
A well-done newbie is rare indeed. How’s that for an answer? 🙂
I suppose I should go make sure I haven’t scared all the actual newbies away . . .
That gave me a good laugh in the middle of cubicle hell.
And yes, hope Manny is not too upset – this blood thirsty lot has scared away all the newbies.
Time to go, I guess…
I could scare off the rest with my old photo called
My Ugly Ass Hair Cut
😀
OK!
Where is it?
It grew out and I ain’t posting it again 🙂 Cripes, I didn’t even have make up on EEEK!!!
Just back home.
So bad it would warant a troll rating?
There’s an ‘r’ missing somewhere.
Damned, sticky keyboard..
I am toying with putting up another photo of me… for a diary that’s been screaming in me to do…
Something along the lines of why I’m “evil” and list all my “attributes” along with a photo of my EVIL self.
because we wouldn’t want Booman to get busted for running a porno site. 😀
Nope. No “money shot” photo 🙂
Mainly a “hello, this is me. Bush and his supporters say I’m evil and here’s why”.. type of dohickey diary.
You’re evil because you do your best to make me blush. We all know that.
Well you got a rare photo of ME blushing… the one with Ray McGovern.
I’m evil — along the lines that GASP, I have a library card.
That’s the “irony” line of the diary.
nearly as much as I was thinking of all the many ways you can be evil. 😉
You are dastardly thinker than I could ever hope to become 🙂
Maybe but I don’t have the restraints you do.
we haven’t had a good frog roast in awhile. The last time involved mass quantities of liquor, a hotel room floor and a camera, iirc. 😀
and miss the cannibalism. Now I’m really mad that I missed the anger non-management class last cafe.
cannabalism.. white or red?? 😀
they’re phish or foul.
Or crabs and turkeys 🙂
::drags her sorry ass back from lurk mode::
Thought I would drop an update on my lil situation. I went to see my new doctor yesterday and I have to say, not only is he adorable but he listens too! What a refreshing change!
Unfortunately right now the only recourse I have right now is to continue with the meds. He says he doesn’t want me on them forever (which is good cause I don’t either!)just to take them for the next month and then we will see where we go from there. He said it is pretty rare for this condition to go as long as it has but sometimes it works itself out, sometimes it doesn’t. (which pretty much jives with everything that I have read about it)
Not really much of an update but there it is. I did promise I would. 😉
Well, I must have missed the discussion of your condition, so I’m imagining something rare and exotic which will disappear without a trace and, in fact, make you better and more energetic than ever!
oops, I must’ve missed the “disease disclosure” post, too, but I hope you get to feeling better soonest, Cake or Death!
Let’s speculate about what Cake’s ailment might be before she gets a chance to tell us what it is.
I’m voting that it’s beri-beri, not because I really think it is but because I think it sounds silly.
something similar along the lines of what I’m been dealing with since last Dec… Possible vertigo due to inner ear issues or meniere’s disease.
Yeah sorry about that! I didn’t even realize that I left a critical part of it out! Labrynthitis. Dizziness, nausea, vertigo, fullness, ringing, and pain in the ears…much much fun!
about the spontaneous falling out of your chair episodes? I stand (sit) in solidarity with you on that one.
(((Cake))) hope you feel better soonest
LMAO!! Actually that has seemed to have to stopped with the meds so that’s a good thing. It’s just trying to deal with the wierd eye twitches and the slight dizziness now. Funny the medication they give causes alot of the same symptoms, only to a lesser degree. 😉
I hope the meds help to alleviate the symptoms.
I was thinking of saying that it reminded of me of how I feel at most family gatherings but that’s too tacky even for me.
Never too tacky! I get those same ones as well at family gatherings. 😉
AT first we thought it was a nastyass flu that wouldn’t go away totally.
Then my spouse started saying it was Blondetitus…
Actually for a while I thought it might be from ear AND depth-perception issues.
Haven’t fallen out of a chair… but while here at the new house I had a weird bout for a few hours… and a new neighbor came over and I had a hell of a time standing in the doorway… I had to explain that I wasn’t drunk.
At first I thought that it might be an ear infection. That’s where the problems started. ringing, pain and all that jazz. (disclosure I am one of the lucky few that has never had an ear infection) The dizziness and everything else came along a day or two later. So many little symptoms that I really can’t remember them all lol.
And yeah I kept having people ask me if I was drunk as well funny enough. You really don’t realize how much effort there is keeping you walking and upright until something like that happens. The amazing and wonderfull inner-ear. 😉
Same thing could be said for pinky toes… those are needed for walking believe it or not LOL
Oh yeah! I do know that one for sure lol. Injured my pinkie toe on my right foot when I was 15. Miserable time on crutches! Just for a friggin pinkie toe lol.
I was doing dance squad leg kicks one day on the kitchen rug… rug and feet came out from under me and I thought I’d broken my “ass bone”… turns out tail bones can get cracked.
After ripping with my first delivery,,, think only dilated at 5-6 cms when the baby “came” out… I learned that you need certain muscles to get you on and off the damn toilet, even.
Yeah I have broken the tail bone as well lol. Rollerskating inside the garage, smooth floor+sudden attack of the giggles.
Ouch! Just made my legs slam shut! It is quite humbling to all of sudden not be able to do things that we take for granted everyday, like walking or even peeing!
My husband even went and replaced our fine Weber with a gas thingy.
See… I’m addicted to Weber BBQ. I’m addicted to the “WHOOOOOOOOOOMP” sound of a match hitting white fuel… er to lighter fluid.
Light and then RUN!!!! One one occassion a far away neighbor called because they thought our deck was on fire. 🙂
I had to give up the Weber… after an attempt to get the woodstove going during a nasty storm and with wet wood and.. white fuel.
I didn’t even hear the “whooooooooooomp”… woke up to kids screaming as they thought I was dead. The force threw me up and across the living room.
Hello, My name is Janet and I am to be kept away from Weber charcoal grills.
I’d say something witty but there are pork chops aflame in my kitchen right now. Gotta go.
Yup the Weber Grill Olympics. Light, Jump over lawn chairs and Dash.
nothing like a Weber grill. My two favorites are turkey and lobster tails both cooked on the inderect method. Yummy!! By brotherinlaw still does a turkey on the Weber at Thanksgiving every year. Well crap, now I am hungry!
Yeah.. I had to teach the Mr. about direct and indirect. He was a pro at burning chicken to dead black… but it’d be blood raw inside. 🙂
I don’t like the gas grill. I want another Weber and this time I’ll use a chimney start instead of … white fuel. 🙂
Newbies are always cooked well done and lurkers are medium rare. Just look it up in The Joy of Grilling if you don’t believe me. And they are always served with a “whine”…teeheehee1
The Eyes
I can already tell. Her tale is really long, I bet her whole backside moves when she’s wagging it. Bud does that when he thinks he’s going for a ride in my dad’s jeep. He loves it.
we call that the full-body waggle.
yup… that’s would be the effect if I did nudiepatootie jumping jacks. ACK! 🙂
“Love, love me do. You know I love you, I’ll always be true, So please,
love me do.”
My dog likes to eat cat doo…
Aww, he’s got the eyes too! I knew that’s why I instantly fell in love with this dog – he reminded me of your Hopey.
Hounds have the Eyes of Ineffable Sadness
kids want to run to the library. Then later we’re off to a hockey game. Mr. Damnit’s team made it to the top level tier playoffs plus he’s been invited to skate on some old geezer league for a tourney.
You’re leaving already? I just got here!
Manny, You’re my hero!
Already??? Not according to my kids who have been blasting me about it for hours 🙂
Canwegoyet?
The cabin version of canwegoyet? is arewethereyet?
Have fun!
Just a hit and run. I think I’m jealous of Refinish. I ended up stupidly trying to pick up something too heavy while doing the lawn and I’ve pulled my back also. Sort of typing through a pain/muscle relaxant relaxant fog presently.
I can sit up at a certain angle and keep nodding out, or lay back down and zone out. I think zone out wins.
Other than that, it’s been a pretty slackerly day.
Hope everybody has a good afternoon.
YOu need an Arnica massage. Take care bud!
sorry to hear about the strained back, Family Man. Although I bet you’ll take full advantage of the mandatory slack time prescribed. 🙂 Hope you feel better soonest too.
Oh no! Definitely feel better soon!
Ouch! Rest up.
I almost wish some of your relatives would show up so you could tell them they have to take care of themselves.
Come on over to the Froggy Bottom Lounge
