The PUB light's ON! :D

[Mrleft8]

THE quarter? When was the last time you played pool at a bar?!
Anyway....Save your quarter... This table is open pocketed... (It was salvaged from a grand estate once owned by J.D. Rockefeller in upstate New York.)

[Spin_Drift]

... Thick slices of baked ham, slathered with spicy mustard, with lettuce and succulent sliced tomato, served on chewy peasant bread, with a big dill pickle and chips on the side.....

Hi Lefty, I'll take the above with mayo too, and one of "Canoes Left Hand Sawtooth Ale" if it's ice cold. No glass straight from the bottle, please.

How is it going? Nice to have your home back after a long visit???

[Spin_Drift]

I hope my two bits still works with the Juke Box.

I'll try... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L30V5vnYHzk

Hey, Doug, do you have room for a teenage girl's soccer team at your place? Were about thirty minutes away. see you soon!

Let's clarify this...

Mayo on HOT ham and melted cheese. (put it on after it's hot) Enough to make you slobber at the mouth don't knock it till you tried it...

I guess I have to come out there and educate you on some really tasty new foods...

(After thought, of course you wash it down with an icy beer... yummy...)

[Mrleft8]

.... Wow..... No ringing phone at 6:00 AM...... No clink clink clink of breakfast dishes.... No television turned up just enough to hear something, but not enough to make out the words..... It's like I actually live here....

Welcome HOME...

[Mrleft8]

Broiled lamb chops (rib) with garlic and rosemary. Served with mashed potatoes, braised baby carrots, and steamed broccoli.
Beef chili. Not too hot. but your lips will itch, and you might get a little sweat on your brow... It has some black beans in it, so if you're one of those freaks that think chili shouldn't have beans, don't eat it. I like it with a big hunk of chewy bread, and butter, but we also have grated cheddar, and sourcream.
Special on tap today: Stroh's (It's fire brewed!) Lager.

[Mrleft8]

Welcome HOME...

Thank you!

[Spin_Drift]

Hi, I see you're busy in the kitchen, I'll help you tend the bar in the meanwhile...

I'll put two bits to the juke box.

In a mood for some Dwight...

Hi Boys....... what would you like?

[Mrleft8]

GOOD LORD! What's that awful nasal, screeching, howling sound!? Sounds like someone got a cat stuck in a vacuum cleaner or something!!!

[Canoez]

Chad didn't get hurt downstairs playing with his new Grizzley Planer, did he? Or were ya talkin' about Dwight?

[Mrleft8]

I thought we were gonna listen to an educational seminar about caulking a hull with oakum..... The poor dog's gone to hide in the basement....

[Spin_Drift]

lol...

Ok! -Lefty, lets hear it. It's you two bits to the juke box...right now

[Tar Devil]

Already ate... had venison tenderloin. Would like a nice black and tan, though.

Anyone noticed there's nothing fun going on outside?

That's 'cause everyone is here...

Black and Tan coming right up...

How about playing us a tune. Here is two bits to the juke box.

I don't know why Lefty puts country in it and then whines about it...

lol...

[Uncle Duke]

Afternoon, kids!
Haven't been around in a while but I'm moderately hungry and that chili sounds just about perfect, especially with a hunk of bread.
Ms. Barkeep? Do you have a decent Porter hidden back there someplace? If so, I'll gladly take one.
What's with the fighting over the jukebox? "If music be the food of love, play on"!

[Uncle Duke]

Let me put a couple of bucks in and set it up for a few plays. We'll get away from country for a moment, maybe that will settle ya'll down:

Here is an icy London Ported...

Somebody, pleeeze put the two bits into the juke box and play something...

I can hear Lefty muttering to himself in the kitchen and the darn dog is still whining in the basement...

[Uncle Duke]

Somebody, pleeeze put the two bits into the juke box and play something

Well - let's start with a classic, then maybe turn up the heat a little...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=AT89Cte_cg8
Chili's darned good, by the way, though not nearly as hot as predicted. Could I have a little more? Huh?

[Tar Devil]

Coming right up...

Comfortably Numb

Love that Pink Floyd... What would you like to drink? I'm buying,

Well ...maybe turn up the heat a little...

Let's turn up the heat... Something that rocks with some good guitars.. We have to wake up some of the Old-Boys drooling at the bar...

Another bowl of chili coming right up... Another Porter? It's on me...

[boylesboats]

Wow Spin_Drift.....
That big bowl of chili surely hit the spot.... Even after I spinkled some of my cajun peppers in it..

Yes, I always carried a little bottle of dried uncrushed cayenne peppers

[Mrleft8]

What's up with Jimbo deleting all his posts...?

[Uncle Duke]

Oh, I think we can do that. Let's go back a few years to when Fleetwood Mac was an edgy blues band, before they got soft:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=HQ8AcEYTEFY
And, yes, I'd love another porter - thanks for asking!

Or maybe some vintage Mike Bloomfield?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=rzXUJzC_oM0

Aw heck - let's just move it along with the Master of the Telecaster:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z0reB9tkzyo

[boylesboats]

Want some for your chili? It'll to get your thick and frozin' blood a flowing again..



Anyone?

[boylesboats]

What's up with Jimbo deleting all his posts...?

Who?
I thought I was just as bad....

[Uncle Duke]

Dang - those chilis look darned near perfect! Home grown?

[Figment]

I came in here looking for a nice lamb stew, but man those chilis will turn anybody's mind around! Light me up!

[Spin_Drift]

Well, well, well... If it burns going in, -imagine the burn when it's coming out...

I think I'll have some of your hot peppers too and please make a plate for Cass and Kalevala also.

Don't want to dance to the burn alone...

Here is something to wash it down with...


This is not your Daddy's Coors or Bud Light. This is a serious beer handmade
in Mexico with a Hot Serrano Chili Pepper inserted by hand in every Bottle.

Music for us chili lovers...

Sorry, I borrowed that photo ...
Those are cayenne peppers..
I grow them every year to keep stock up on them... We use a lot of it in our cooking here... use it on about everything we please... Except for turkeys, we don't want to run the in-laws outta of house...
I even make chipotle too... "Smoked Jalopenos over applewood"
Peppers can be healthy for ya, or could be harmful...
Just like an chicken egg, some say it good for you and some say it bad for you...

Now I gotta find some and try it..

[Mrleft8]

That beer's HORRIBLE! I had it twice. The first one I thought a friend was playing a rude joke on me because I like hot stuff. The second one was just as bad. Not only is it cheap, bad beer, but it's made even worse by infusing it with hot peppers. Kinda like tabasco brand salad dressing....Or Hot pepper ice cream...... Some things are supposed to be REFRESHING, not hot.
OK rant over......Carry on.....

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

I'm with you Lefty, I like my beer cold and refreshing.

[Spin_Drift]

Hey,Lefty

Break out the Grand Marnier! Pour a shot for everyone in the pub tonight. And leave the bottle on the bar. Let us all sit back, reflect and pay tribute to all the souls lost to the sea,and the close calls.
I know i've had my fair share of close calls. In the morning make it a point to check your emergency locating devices,life rafts and by all means don't be bashfull get the survival suits out and try them on for size. Take a swim it can make the difference between lost soul and close call !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The F/V Lady Blackie was from Homer Alaska. I know the crew so this really hits home.

[Mrleft8]

Grand Marnier all around. Can't open the links Wolfie, but I get the idea....Sorry.....

[Mrleft8]

Sausage.... Both sweet Italian, and hot Italian, slow cooked in white wine, then chopped into large bite size pieces, and set aside in a bowl of marsala. Sweet green peppers, onions, garlic, and fennel quick seared, then simmered until the onions start to get clear. Meanwhile, in another pan, eggs and heavy cream are being scrambled with diced tomato. When the eggs are to your liking (I like mine hard and dry), we mix in the sausage and the veggies.....
Or a simple meatloaf sandwich on hearty rye, with fries and a big dill pickle.

[Mrleft8]

Special on tap today: Rodenbach Grand Cru, from West Flanders, Belgium. A Flemish red ale, it's a hearty beer, with a lot of "character". It is widely regarded by connoiseurs to be one of the world's finest beers. I don't let that scare me away, it's pretty damn tastey too! 6% alc lets you know it's there, without stealing the show.

[Mrleft8]

AH! Well! Glad to see your friends made it out alive! I was fearing a worse outcome....
On that note.... Alaskan King crab legs, steamed to perfection, and served with lemon and drawn butter. Side dishes of boiled pearl onions, fried potatoes, and artichokes. Belly up folks! There's lots of them, but they rarely last long!

Oh boy... Now that sounds great... I'd take some with strongly garlicked butter, please...

And... a double, -make that a triple shot of Kahlua in a TALL glass, with half and half to wash the crab down with...
(traditional)

[boylesboats]

Yeah. I didn't figure it to be too good... but I liked the picture...

As saying goes, can't judge the book (beer) by the cover (label)
Have be strong or "drunker than a skunk" to drink that

[Tar Devil]

Spin, ya did good on that last black and tan. Can I have another?

And a little more Floyd to help it go down...

Would you like it with Guinness on top and Bass Pale Ale or Harp's lager on bottom?

[Canoez]

Would you like it with Guinness on top and Bass Pale Ale or Harp's lager on bottom?

Near my in-law's in the UK, it's got to be Harp. If you put Guiness with Bass, they refer to it as a "Bloody Awful Mistake" not a Black-and-Tan.

Kinda chilly. How about that sausage with a little sauce, cheese, peppers and onions on a roll with a nice Mackeson's Extra, please. Oh, and room temperature, not cold, of course.

Ok Canoez. How about you start a roaring fire in the fireplace in the meanwhile. It'll warm things up nicely... I'll bring your sandwich and Mackeson's Extra to the table by the fire...


Tar Devil, are you ready for an another one by the time I bring Canoez order?

[Canoez]

Thanks.

I'll get the fire going.

[Tar Devil]

Tar Devil, are you ready for an another one by the time I bring Canoez order?

Ayep. You do these well!

And unlike yesterday, this talk of sausage has stimulated my appetitie...
