Apple Pie Skepticism, October 8th at Kitty's Place

[grayman]

Okay, I may not be there in person, but I am working on a way to be there in spirit, we'll see if it works...

 

[kittynh]

Jeff, we so HAVE to do mentos and diet coke.

You are now in charge. Make sure there is enough for everyone. And I rather think Wal Mart of superdiscount brand will work just as well?

If anyone hasn't figured it out yet, this is a semi-formal.

No need for your tux to get all wet with soda!

!

Time to visit this thread Kitty.

 

[kittynh]

Totally guilty as charged!!!

I'm afraid I often speak with enough slang phrases and annoying catch phrases as to pass for a Southern Cal valley girl.

(DC native though)

Hanging around with preschooler presents problems also. If the 3 year olds are saying it, I"m saying it. Usually something that Disney or Pixar has made popular.

Pool boy is going deaf, and he's rather enjoying it.

 

[Mercutio]

When are we going to have another firewalk/bed-of-nails/etc?

I wasn't gonna bring the bed of nails, but I can if there is sufficient interest.

In other news, I just bought a kayak of my own...a cute little folbot Aleut. Really good shape--ought to be; I paid all of $40 for it....

 

[mumchup]

I was thinking about bringing a big pot of vegan chili. Anybody up for that? (hot flavoring on the side)

 

[Hamradioguy]

I'll be there, with my camera, should there be any special pictures that need to be taken.

Can we blow something up? Mentos and Diet Coke?

I'm all out of Tovex(tm) and my State Explosives license (#008 I'll have you know) has just expired. Maybe we can blow up an inner tube....or something....

Merc's bed of nails is much more fun.

 

[kittynh]

mum, I'm doing chili! So something else would be great! It's just easy for me and the crock pot! I already got the tofu ground "beef" so its too late to change!

in NH do you really need a license to blow stuff up?

I think it's ok, Live Free And Die, right?

Cool, that's why I was asking, I'll just come up with something else. I've never made vegetarian chili with beef replacement before, I always just add more various vegetables than usual. I'll have to try some even though I have an irrational and unproven dislike of tofu.

Also appearing, by special request and for a limited engagement, is the magnificent magic of Louie the Supercorgi, who will make an astonishing assortment of foods vanish from places you would never have believed he could reach!

Ah damn, the timing is terrible! Louie the Supercorgi regrets to tell you that he has a prior engagement. It is time for our annual CorgiFest and he needs to defend his title as World's Fastest Hotdog Gobbler. I'm going to miss seeing all of you and Louie is going to miss playing with Dingo. Take pictures so I can be very depressed that I missed such a good time.

 

[kittynh]

TAKE PHOTOS!!! We want to see Louie in action!

And Louie had better come the the Newton Day party ok?

I love Louie. Good luck buddy! We are rooting for you.

State license AND a federal license as well.

Willie saw some dynamite
Couldn't understand it quite
Curiosity never pays,
It rained Willie for seven days

So, just cheese....unless you require something additional of a non-explosive nature

 

[kittynh]

Cheese is always welcome!

Plus does anyone have a coffee maker and coffee?

I don't, and being a tea drinker when I have attempted to make coffee, it has been a disaster.

I have also been told "instant" coffee isn't coffee.

 

[grayman]

Vegan chili? Tofu? No coffee?!?!?!

Now I remember why I don't live in New England any more.

 

[Boo]

I'll bring the coffee maker and real coffee....


Boo

We have vegans and vegetarians coming. I just use my real MEAT recipe, and put in the ground beef tofu. It's not too bad. But yeah, living near Brattleboro Vermont you learn to cook Vegan fast, and you never say, "Wait, no one can have 2 moms!"

Oh yes they can.

My sister has a vegetarian friend who doesn't invite meat eaters over for dinner because she says she doesn't want to be bothered worrying about what they'll eat. We had a laugh about that one.
My diet is only restricted by my incredible pickiness, but I'll cook to anyone's tastes, vegetarian, vegan, lactose-intolerant, you name it. It's good practice for the recipe-devising skills.

I just got back from a run into town where I discovered that one of the local markets had some macintosh apples (albeit bruised) on sale. I'm happy for a while.
