The PUB light's ON! :D

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

It was a foggy damp night on the North Coast.
I thought I heard the fog horn off in the distance,but then, I realized it sounded more like bagpipes.

[Mrleft8]

Damp, drizzling, dark.... And the freakin' Dingo starts blabbing as soon as his freakin' eyes open!
Clearly we need to upgrade his palate. I made two pizzas for him to feed on after his arduous journey, and he only ate one slice from one pie....."Overcooked"..... If anything I'd say they were slightly undercooked, but what does he know? Oh.... And he doesn't like olives....
Sliced turkey breast with mayonaise, lettuce, tomato, roasted sweet red peppers, sliced sweet onion, salt and pepper, on a hard roll. Chips and a pickle on the side.
Beef and barley soup, with diced carrots, celery, and onion.
Rotisserie leg of lamb served medium rare, with wild rice pilaf, asparagus, and a small bowl of strong broth.
Special on tap: Mendocino Brewing Company's White Hawk Select IPA

[Canoez]

So lemme see...

Grilled 'Roo on the barbie for the WBS EBS?

[StevenBauer]

What's going on in here tonight? Who's going to join me in a tot of Old Rum in a toast to Shane's health? Can you believe he's actually here?



Steven

[Mrleft8]

Can you believe he's actually here?



Steven

Yes..... I can!.....
Another foul, gloomy, wet day. Poor Shane's gonna start growing mushrooms behind his ears....
Angel hair pasta with pesto and fresh marinara, piled high with mussels steamed in white wine and shallots. A loaf of crusty garlic bread on the side.
Super thin sliced pastrami on lightly toasted rye bread with melted gruyere cheese,mustard, sauerkraut, and thousand islands dressing. Served with thick cut steak fries, and dill pickles.
Shrimp by the dozen, with zesty horseradish cocktail sauce.
Special on tap: Samuel Adam's Summer Ale.

[Paul Pless]

You'd be surprised how many times I've heard Carter say that.... Then again maybe you wouldn't....

[Paul Pless]

Then again maybe you wouldn't....

[StevenBauer]

I have a friend that I paddle with. On the second morning of a multi-day trip, she was in "recovery mode" after the Margaritas that she and her boyfriend had been sipping in the canoe the day before. She blamed her illness on "bad limes."

[boylesboats]

i'm never drinking tequila again...

Geee, a new song hummmmm..

"I'll Nev'r Drink Tequila With ???? Again" a good pardony to this tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfgZH...=TL&playnext=1

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

One Tequila, two Tequila, three Tequila.....floor.

[boylesboats]

Naaaa..without any beer... just chug about 250ml down, and you'll be fine..

[Paul Pless]

Damn at the birthdays today. Might as well make a day of it eh?

[Mrleft8]

Another gloomy, drizzly,foggy, gross, damp morning. This is beggining to really drag a guy down. At least we had a couple of hours of sunshine yesterday afternoon. Just enough to get the mold and mildew spores really blooming....
Lamb stew with potatoes, onions, and carrots served over white rice, with asparagus on the side.
Boiled pound and a half lobsters served with drawn butter, and hand cut fried potatoes.
Thick sliced honey baked ham with mustard, lettuce, tomato, and Vidalia onion, served on lightly toasted sourdough. Chips and a pickle.
Special on tap: Little Kings Cream Ale.

[Canoez]

So why was there frosting all over the kitchen ceiling?

SSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Carter was up all night making birthday cakes for Spinner, Kevin, DanL, and Jim Conlin, and she got a little carried away....

[Canoez]

Well, then, that explains my other question regarding the empty bottles of Tequila, Cointreau and Mozart on the counter.

[Mrleft8]

And Kahlua, and Rum....

[Canoez]

:::Looking:::

No wonder I missed those earlier.

I won't ask how those got under the counter.

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

I think I'll start my day with a "little" hair of the dog eh?
Any cake left?

[Mrleft8]

Dog hair..... nope.... But we have Dingo hair all over the place these days!
I think it's nice enough (considering the past week) to crank up the grill on the back porch. Ribeye steaks, Country style pork chops, marinated chicken parts, Lamb shish-ka-bab, and Tuna steaks. There's a big vat on the ring burner with Old Bay crab boil spice and a big pile of shrimp. Fresh corn on the cob, potato salad, pasta salad, and anti-pasto.
Special on tap: Guinness Extra Stout.

[Figment]

Where'd you get fresh corn?

It is a great day for a steak and a stout, but I'm leaning toward the tuna for some reason.

Any wasabi mustard back there?

I think Ashley's is doing a ginger ice cream this week. Killer.

[Mrleft8]

Corn from GFC of course....I imagine it comes from Florida originally.... Wasabi mustard we have. Ginger icecream.....Interesting concept....

[Wild Dingo]

mmm so thats whats for tea eh Dougy? okay then!!!

Personally I'll take a Long Trail over the stout anyday horrid black soup that muck is

[Mrleft8]

Ever try any outside of OZ?........... No? I didn't think so! You might be surprised....

[Canoez]

Guinness - it's good for you!

[Peerie Maa]

Hi Lefty,
Please buy Dingo a pint of something decent from me, in deference to his taste for peely wally beer, one of these might be appropriate.
Can't make it to the Pub tonight, CinC Nag Home bought me a bag of mussels and a bottle of Gallo Family chardonnay semillon to cook them in. Could not waste the bottle once it was opened now could I?

[Mrleft8]

Dingo has decided that Long Trail Ale is his beer of choice. He'll bring a case or two south with him, as I've informed him that decent beer is really not available south of DC....

[Paul Pless]

Dingo has decided that Long Trail Ale is his beer of choice.

I'm guessing dingo ain't too very picky.... Have you read his signature line?

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

I'll bet Shane would like a Rolling Rock beer.





......and a big bowl of spicy chili.

That's the "Midnight Special" at my house.
05/09/09 My Dad's eighty years young today.
He likes Rollin Rock too.

[Mrleft8]

Dingo prolly wouldn't like RR. He doesn't like the Lager that Jim Ledger left here.
And apparently he doesn't care much for spicy food either. I was warned to make the tacos "Mild" last night, and he only ate 5 of them.... Buffalo style chicken wings just about gave him apoplexy ofcourse he didn't order them here at the pub, but rather at a waterfront resaurant.... Nothing like ordering chicken at a seafood joint....
If it stops raining I'll whip up a big steak on the grill for him tonight...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DksGi7B5BdM

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

He's probably getting hungry for something with Roo in it.
Good luck finding that.

[Paul Pless]

We keep an inventory of kangaroo and oatmeal diet at my kennel.

[paladin]

and you can get 'roo burgers at Jack in the Box......

[Mrleft8]

It was a good day to cut the grass.
Not too hot, just right.
A piece of strawberry rhubarb pie and a cuppa coffee fer me please.

[Peerie Maa]

What's a guy got to do to find food around here?

Lefty, have you tried this
Nice hoppy finish. The honey hits sneaks up on the palate as you swallow.

[StevenBauer]

Have you had a chance to restock yet Lefty?


How about a round of these on me?

Nick, Have you had Waggledance?



BTW - Looks like that was your second bottle of BeeWyched...

It used to be brewed by Vaux, and since they went out of business the quality has not been matched, you can hardly taste the honey in some of them.

Darn.

Sounds like the Bellhaven Brewery's story. I don't know what happened in the early '90's. Bellhaven ale in the bottles with the fired on labels was marvelous stuff. When they went to paper labels, the quality went downhill significantly.

[StevenBauer]

Before the big mirobrewery explosion here in the US Bellhaven used to be one of my favorites. Fortunately for me Bellhaven was one of the breweries Dave Geary apprenticed in before he started his own brewery right here in Portland in 1986.



Steven

[Canoez]

You think we can get Dave Geary to brew a "clone"? It was one of my favorites too. At the time, I was a poor bachelor and a 4 pack was about 12 bucks or so. Still, it was worth the occasional splurge.

Geez... That would explain the Geary's Hampshire Ale in casks at the Great Lost Bear! (DOH!)

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

You guys are makin me thirsty.

[Mrleft8]

Never tried the Beewyched, or the Waggledance....The Geary's is pretty good, the Dundee's is mouthwash.
WOW! 2 days in a row with no rain! AMAZING!!! (it's early yet.....I know....)
1/3 Lb. ground round burgers on the grill, with lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, grilled onion, and fresh cucumber slices, served on a poppyseed roll with mayonaise, catsup, mustard, horseradish, and pickle relish if you want.
