May the 4’s be with you
24/7 Cafe Closed. Morning Cafe Opened
Olivia’s in the kitchen making some poutine for the late night crowd.
Remind me to offer to cook if I go vist in Canada. LOL
poutine can’t be any worse than a slinger.
Okay, I know what a sling is and that is never in the kitchen but I have no idea what a slinger is. LOL
now that I look it up, I find that it is a St. Louis delicacy — I had no idea we invented it.
and you have to take a photo the next time you eat one 😉
I have to admit i’ve never had one. But I’ve been with people who have. I’ll try to remember to take a picture … oh hell what am I saying? you KNOW i’ll never remember to take a picture.
bwahahahahaha … 🙂
That is just nasty sounding and seems too much like a Denny;s skillet breakfast to even contemplate.
which can make me re-consider keeping kosher.
Hell it makes me consider being kosher and I’m not jewish.
so, I found something that sounds worse than poutine? Tell family man.
I’m ashamed to admit that I’m real hungry and that sounds good!
It IS a late night thing to eat — after you’ve been drinking. Have you been drinking?
Just Dasani. But I haven’t had a real meal today, just pick, pick, pick.
Oh girl friend I have to introduce you to better eating if that mess sounds good.
I’m listening to your podcast. I’m the medicine cabinet snooper.
OMG – souse. My grandmother loved that! It had that vinegar tasting jelly with pink pieces of….I guess, pigs. But she wasn’t southern.
I like it also.
SOUSE
Head cheese, also called souse and brawn, is a jellied loaf or sausage. Originally it was made entirely from the meaty parts of the head of a pig or calf, but now can include edible parts of the feet, tongue, and heart. The head is cleaned and simmered until the meat falls from the bones, and the liquid is a concentrated gelatinous broth. Strained, the meat is removed from the head, chopped, seasoned and returned to the broth and the whole placed in a mold and chilled until set, so it can be sliced.
ugh, head cheese. ugh.
well, that is what souse is and it is actually pretty good but then I like pickled pigs feet also. That is the southerner in me coming out.
ROTFLMAO!!!!
But she adds onion rings to her poutine?
Sorry! Having grown up in Quebec, I am a poutine purist.
onion rings are not allowed?
Oh, HELL NO! lol
I’ll make sure not to put onuon rings on yours … 🙂
How’s that?
Thank you kindly.
onion rings are a fringe item … 🙂
The entire combination sounds like a Pepto bismal special. LOL
Mmmmm, cheese curds and gravy. Heart attack in a bowl.
Tonight’s the night Darlene Love makes her annual appearance on Letterman. Here’s the video again in case you missed it. Best Christmas song ever (no matter what Booman says).
what does she do other than appear on Letterman once a year?
I think she’s in a Broadway musical, iirc… Hairspray maybe? She was one of those singers from way back who got sorta screwed over financially, but she’s doing really well now.
I just checked wiki and it is Hairspray. They give a good rundown of her career — I’d forgotten she played Danny Glover’s wife in the Lethal Weapon movies.
wow, she HAS had a long career. I can’t believe phil spector released singles under the name of someone else when she did them. Oh wait. Yes I can. That’s showbiz.
She has one hell of a voice!!!!!!
She’s amazing. I’d love to see her live, but I think she stays in New York.
You could always make a trip to New York to see her.
Are you going to stay up late tonight to celebrate the start of your 2 wk vacation? 🙂
and besides, FM isn’t around to give me any competition.
you try to beat each other out of the cafe to bed … so if FM isn’t here, then you don’t have anyone to race out of the cafe, and therefore you can stay up later.
so along with the fact that I couldn’t stay up late if it was already late, it means that staying up late isn’t that big a deal and therefore not really celebration-worthy. (Whew, all that explaining exhausted me. I think I may have to go to bed. And Sniff went up to bed about 10 minutes ago which means I to have to conserve my strength so I can fight him for the pillows.)
Sweet dreams Miss Andi!!!! I have to bribe the Diva Dogs out of bed each night with a treat so I can fix the covers and then go to bed. Of course as soon as I am in bed, they jump back up and start staking claim to the majority of the bed. LOL
yeah between jim and sniff, i just get one small sliver of the bed — fortunately, I like to sleep on my side.
that’s okay … we understand … 🙂
but I’m definitely easing my way to the door.
I’ll commiserate with him, teacher – a – teacher.
but still too grumpy for human company (I don’t count).
Are you out of town?
Manopause.
if there was a pause button for people.
Or mute.
remind me not to get on your bad side.
so I could remove myself in a flash … not necessarily other people … lol
sort of your own “beam me up Scotty”
the way you intended because it’s making me vanish. 🙂
Night.
Didn’t realize I had such powers — I’ll have to be more careful in future …
Night Andi … sleep well.
Departure in T-4:45:27.
Tell Jim that we had district security evicting the head of our parents group, along with a dozen or so parents, we had the new Union president and Vive-President, an official from another Union, and a school board member, and a local TV news Team at school today. The principal literally hid in an empty classroom. When they all left, she snuck out of the building and did not return until 15 minutes before dismissal.
Happy Christmas!
are you all driving through st. louis? Or going down 57 through Charleston?
Should be doing many other things, but thought I’d sit down and catch my breath for a moment.
In this season of quiet spiritual reflection, I post this Update from Rome.
I guess the Pope converting to islam is better than his nazi side coming out stronger.
RF, How you holding up? It might just be me, but it seems like the holidays have been a tough for you.
Actually I am fine. Today was an emotional day all around but sharing the stories, wishes and memories makes it much easier in a way.
but who’s he going to play for next year?
I hear the Vatican is starting a soccer team with Catholic university grads, maybe they’ll start a basketball team next.
The locker room should be fun. LOL
Oh, you’ve seen too many videos of locker room shower scenes. I mean this would be a bunch of sweaty priests is a communal shower. You know, that probably is one of the videos, now that I think about it.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!
for those who missed the earlier cafe. The link to my podcast.
Holiday Memories and Wishes
I seem to have no problem tooting my own horn. LOL
I just finished listening, and this is one of my favourite refinish podcasts … it was funny and touching and had wonderful music. Loved it! And it left me w/ warm fuzzies …
Thank you dear sweet Olivia!!!!!!
I am following Miss Andi’s lead. I have been up since 3 am and am exhausted. Sweet dreams to all my fellow froggies.
Olivia — I bet it’s just you and me left. Unless you beamed yourself out.
I’m wandering over to the lounge while finishing travel prep chore. Anybody still up?
Are you driving through St. Louis?
Not this time, we’re flying through Memphis.
::sniff:: so I won’t see you. poor planning on your part I have to say.
Must go, Happy a Holiday, all!
Have a safe trip.
Olivia if you’re still here — g’night. I’m heading off to bed.
Geez, I go out to do my Christmas shopping and I completely miss the Random 10.
So last week’s will have to do.
